AI consultant Sydney · Ex-Microsoft AI

More profit from the same team.

Start with one job. Prove AI pays. Keep your clients’ data safe.

For construction, property and professional services firms.

Your path with AI: Audit. Build. Train. Partner.

The Korbai Method: find where AI pays first, prove it, and build from there. One thing at a time, until it’s simply how your business works. No giant overhaul, and nothing that ends up gathering dust.

Not now Low-return tools and unproven ideas

Free 30-minute call: What happens next

Start here

  1. Talk: 30 minutes on how your business runs. No prep needed.
  2. Plan: I come back with the first step, and what it costs.
  3. Decide: go ahead or don’t. If AI won’t pay, I’ll tell you.
“It never felt like a sales pitch, it felt like a conversation with someone who knew what he was talking about.”
David Murphy Director & Residential Sales, Murphy Residential

01 Audit: Find where AI pays first

Fixed fee, fixed window

Generally the best first step. We go through the business properly, find the workflow where AI pays first, and prove the number on it.

What you get

A clear report and a decision you can act on

Shared accountability and a name on the outcome

More on how we work
01 · Positioning

The problem isn’t AI. It’s the scatter, and more tools won’t fix it.

Someone’s paying for three tools. Someone’s got a prompt that saves an hour a week. Nobody’s measuring anything, and the owner has a quiet feeling they’re falling behind. We fix that the only way that works: find the point where AI pays, prove it on one workflow, and build from there.

/ 01

Safe from day one

Business accounts, clear rules, and a person signs off, so your clients’ data stays where it should.

/ 02

It ends with something running.

We build the workflow, put it live in your business, and run it with you. We measure it in hours saved every week.

/ 03

Built on what you already pay for

Short cycles, wired into the tools your team already uses first, whether that’s Copilot or ChatGPT. We only add new ones when they clearly earn their place.

02 · Why now

Most businesses have tried AI. Few can point to what it’s saved them.

Most get stuck at a few subscriptions and a few experiments, with nothing to put a number on. The hard part was never the tools: it’s roughly 70% people and 30% technology (BCG, 2024). So we prove AI pays on one workflow before claiming anything bigger, and we never quote numbers we can’t stand behind.

30% Technology

Tried tools, still scattered

A few subscriptions, some experiments, and no clear return to point to. Sound familiar?

The gap is widening

Businesses treating AI as real change are pulling ahead of the ones still dabbling.

70% people, 30% tech

The technology is the easy part. Adoption and change are the hard part, and where we focus.

03 · Who you work with

You’ll be dealing with me.

By the time owners call me, they’ve usually tried three tools and trusted none of them. That’s the point where I’m useful. I’m Paul Korber. Twenty years in commercial technology, spanning digital marketing and search: eight of them at Microsoft, the last two inside Microsoft AI as technical sales lead for APAC. I also spent years building a service business of my own from scratch. Expensive lessons included.

Most AI consultants have the corporate credentials or the founder scars. I’ve got both, and I’ll be straight with you about where AI belongs in your business and where it doesn’t. I’m Sydney-based, and happy to work in the room with you.

04 · Where we help

Where AI pays off

Whether you build, manage property or advise clients, every hour of admin AI takes off your team goes back into paying work. Pick the door that fits where you are, from a first roadmap to the systems your team runs every day.

What it’s like to work with us

A few of the people we’ve worked with, in their own words.

GoodtelInternational Advertising AssociationMurphy ResidentialLivery DoleVernon PartnersThe AI Training CompanyQuayle & CoHandyman Guru KevJenna TraversWhich Real Estate Agent
Kirsty GiordaniKirsty Giordani Global Managing Director, IAA
We had a Claude subscription and we were using a fraction of it. A report that used to take a week now takes hours. A pre-meeting brief that was half a day of research is ready in minutes, with every fact sourced.
David MurphyDavid Murphy Director & Residential Sales, Murphy Residential
Not only does he have a deep understanding of AI but also business. As a result he found real opportunities for us, was honest about where AI doesn’t belong.
Shaun DaviesShaun Davies Founder & Principal, The AI Training Company
We had a plan we could execute the same week. As someone who trains people in AI, I have high expectations on this topic, and Paul exceeded them.
Thomas RobertsThomas Roberts Director, Which Real Estate Agent
The most useful part was him being straight about where the risk was real and where it wasn’t, which saved us over-engineering things that didn’t need it.
Richie TramontanaRichie Tramontana LREA Sales, Vernon Partners
There was no hype, just a clear understanding of how AI fits alongside the systems and tools we already use.
Kevin WatsfordKevin Watsford Director, Handyman Guru Kev
For the first time it felt achievable rather than scary. I’d recommend Paul to any business owner who isn’t sure where to start.
