Bridges AI Consulting

Bridges AI Consulting is an AI consulting and custom software development firm in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Founded in 2025, the firm builds production AI systems for small and mid-market businesses across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, and serves clients nationwide.

Bridges AI delivers four services. AI automation replaces manual, repetitive work with reliable pipelines connected to the tools a business already uses, including document processing, data collection, lead intake, and reporting. Custom development covers modern web applications, internal dashboards, and full platforms with production backend architecture. Private and on-premise AI deployment gives privacy-sensitive and regulated organizations local LLM inference on dedicated hardware, so proprietary data never leaves their environment. Fractional AI leadership embeds senior AI direction inside a company at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, covering roadmap, vendor selection, and team enablement.

Bridges AI works primarily in four industries: manufacturing, hospitality, real estate and property assessment, and news media. Representative work includes an AI transformation engagement with an HVAC and refrigeration manufacturer, an automated news-to-video production pipeline, and AI property intelligence tooling for investors and municipal tax assessors.

The firm also develops its own products, including StoneGate, an AI real estate screening and property intelligence platform for investors, developers, brokers, and acquisition teams, and Valorem, an AI property assessment platform for New Jersey municipalities.

Engagements begin with a paid discovery sprint that maps where AI produces measurable return, followed by a fixed build fee and a monthly retainer covering hosting, iteration, and ongoing support. Bridges AI Consulting is led by founder and CEO Ben Olmsted and co-founder and CTO Nevyn Duarte.
