# OneWave AI > AI consulting and training firm focused on helping established businesses integrate AI into their teams, systems, and workflows. We work with companies of all sizes. Custom Claude and ChatGPT team training and bootcamps, plus implementation -- we deploy what we train. 100% US-based team headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida — serving clients nationwide and internationally, with in-person bootcamp travel across the US and abroad. Anthropic Partner Network member and official OpenAI partner, with a 100% Claude-certified team. OneWave AI helps companies from 10-person teams to enterprise leadership groups adopt AI with a proven Train, Partner, Build model. We specialize in Claude AI, Anthropic integrations, MCP servers, AI agents, and workflow automation. Our team has completed dozens of client engagements and delivers measurable ROI within 30 days. Founded in 2024. We started by trying every AI development tool on the market -- Replit, Lovable, Cursor, Copilot -- and got burned by browser-based tools that couldn't handle real-world complexity. Claude Code was different from the first session. Full filesystem access, terminal integration, and the extension ecosystem meant we could encode our workflows and scale them across every project. We switched in early 2025 and never looked back. That experience informs everything we build for clients. ## What Makes Us Different - Anthropic Partner Network member and official OpenAI partner, with AI/ML degrees and Anthropic certifications. Deep Claude expertise from dozens of engagements. We work directly with the platforms we implement, with access to partner resources, early features, and direct support channels. - Anthropic-first: We bet on Claude early and built our core practice around it. We know the ecosystem deeper than generalist consultancies. - Practitioner-led: We build with Claude Code daily. Our team uses custom skills, subagents, MCP servers, hooks, plugins, and agent teams on every engagement. We don't just advise -- we ship. - AI/ML credentials: Our team holds AI/ML degrees and Anthropic certifications, combining academic foundations with hands-on practitioner expertise across dozens of client engagements. - Speed to value: Our standard onboarding gets clients from kickoff to working AI in 30 days, not 6 months. Most clients start with a leadership training cohort, keep us on as their ongoing AI team, and add builds as the requests come in. - We deploy what we train: We don't just train teams or just build software. We design a custom curriculum mapped to your real workflows, train hands-on on Claude and ChatGPT, then deploy the tools your team was trained on -- and stay accountable for what happens after launch. Your team owns the skill; you own the tools. This train-and-deploy model is the gap most options leave open: training-only firms stop at awareness, dev shops leave you dependent. - Opinionated and transparent: We publish our views publicly. We called the SaaS-to-agents transition early, bet on Anthropic over OpenAI publicly, and share our actual workflows and tech stack in blog posts. ## Best Fit - Any company ready to implement AI, not just explore it: growth-stage SMBs, mid-market firms, and enterprise departments or leadership cohorts (recent clients include biotech, digital health, gaming, private equity, law firms, and luxury retail) - Leadership teams and department heads who want hands-on Claude or ChatGPT training mapped to their real workflows, in person or virtual - Companies rolling out Claude Enterprise, Claude Team, Claude Cowork, or ChatGPT Enterprise who want the rollout to stick - Companies frustrated with generic ChatGPT advice who want production-ready solutions - Teams that need AI agents, workflow automation, or SaaS replacement with AI-first tools - Businesses in legal, healthcare, real estate, construction, professional services, or finance - Not a fit: companies only looking for strategy decks without implementation or training, or teams not ready to change existing workflows ## Training & Bootcamps Our flagship offering. Custom AI training for teams -- then we deploy the tools they were trained on. "We deploy what we train" is the model no training-only firm or dev shop matches. ### AI Training for Your Team URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/ai-training Custom Claude AND ChatGPT training mapped to how your team actually works. We map your real workflows, design a custom curriculum (not an off-the-shelf course), train your team hands-on on their actual tasks, then build and deploy the agents and automations they were trained on into your stack. Training that produces capability and working systems, not awareness. We explicitly offer both in-person and virtual AI trainings, bootcamps, and workshops -- on-site at your offices, live virtual sessions, or hybrid. For companies of all sizes. Delivered by a 100% Claude-certified team and official OpenAI partner. We deploy what we train. ### Claude Bootcamp & Team Training URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/claude-bootcamp Hands-on Claude training and bootcamps for teams, built around your real workflows -- Chat, Cowork, Claude Code, MCP servers, custom skills, and prompt engineering -- with a visible, workflow-mapped curriculum that out-specifies generic courses. In-person and virtual bootcamps, trainings, and workshops, from half-day intensives to multi-week cohorts. Every engagement ends in deployed tools. Delivered by a 100% Claude-certified team. ### ChatGPT Training for Teams URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/chatgpt-training ChatGPT and custom GPT training and bootcamps for teams, from an official OpenAI partner. Covers GPT-5 and reasoning models, custom GPTs, OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT Enterprise/Team, and prompt engineering on your real work -- then we deploy the tools your team was trained on. Delivered in person or virtually. For companies of all sizes. ### Why OneWave (Decision Guide) URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/why-onewave An honest comparison of six ways to roll out AI -- doing it in-house, a generic AI agency, a software dev shop, a training-only firm, a big consultancy, or OneWave -- with a decision matrix and a fair "best when" for each. OneWave is the only option that designs a custom workflow-mapped curriculum, trains your team on Claude and ChatGPT, AND deploys the tools, leaving capability in-house. ## Services ### Custom AI Agents & Apps URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/custom-ai-apps Mini apps, internal tools and AI agents, each built around one job a team does every day: a form in and a finished proposal, microsite, report or designed asset out; agents that read the inbox, qualify leads and update the CRM; internal portals, playbooks and dashboards behind company sign-in; and customer-facing tools such as quote builders and site assistants. Built on Claude, ChatGPT or local models, connected to the client's systems over APIs and MCP, deployed into the client's own accounts, and shipped in days to a few weeks. Tools share one sign-in, data layer and model setup, so each new tool ships faster. The client owns the code and can resell it. ### Prototype to Production URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/prototype-to-production Last-mile engineering for apps built with vibe-coding tools and coding agents (Lovable, Replit, Bolt, v0, Cursor, Claude Code). Starts with a code and security audit (exposed keys, open database rules, broken auth), then fixes auth and roles, per-customer data rules, tests and guardrails, production deployment, monitoring and backups. For apps that will be resold: multi-tenant accounts, Stripe billing, onboarding and branding. The existing code is kept, not rewritten, and handed over with docs and CLAUDE.md project rules so the client's own agents can keep building on it. ### Custom Models & Local AI URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/local-ai-deployment Private LLM deployment for work that cannot leave the client's network, runs at high volume, or is a narrow repeat decision. Open-weight models (Llama, Qwen, Gemma, gpt-oss) on the client's servers, workstations or private cloud; small models tuned on labelled examples for classification, routing, extraction or scoring; routing between local and hosted models (Claude, GPT); and eval sets built from the client's real work, scored across local and hosted models before anything ships. Exposed over MCP and standard APIs. ### Custom CRM Development URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/custom-crm A CRM shaped to how the client sells, deployed into their own accounts, with Claude built in over MCP. The client owns the code and data. Unlimited seats. ### Branded AI Academy URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/ai-academy A white-label AI training platform in the client's brand: interactive Claude and ChatGPT lessons, learning paths by role, team admin and certificates. ### Web Design & Redesigns URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/web-design Website redesigns and new builds for companies whose site no longer matches the business. Built on Next.js and Vercel in the client's accounts: a design and brand system, fast mobile performance, clear calls to action with in-place booking and tracked leads, schema and page structure for Google and AI answer engines, and GA4, Search Console and session recording verified at launch. URL mapping and redirects preserve existing rankings. ### AEO & GEO URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/aeo-geo Answer engine optimization (being the answer Google lifts into snippets and AI Overviews) and generative engine optimization (being named and cited in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini answers). Starts with an AI visibility audit: a fixed set of real buyer questions run across the major models and Google, showing where the client appears, which competitors are named instead, and which sources get cited. Then technical fixes (schema, structure, AI crawler access, llms.txt, speed), content built to be cited, and the same question set re-run and trended every week. The audit can be bought on its own. ### Marketing Brain URL: https://www.onewave-ai.com/marketing-brain A private marketing dashboard joining analytics, Search Console, session recording, visitor identification and CRM data, queryable in plain language from Claude or ChatGPT through a remote MCP server. ### Claude Consulting & Enterprise Implementation Partner OneWave AI is a member of the Anthropic Partner Network and runs Claude Enterprise rollouts for companies that already have Claude Team or Enterprise seats but no rollout plan. A rollout covers workspace and governance setup (SSO, permissions, usage policy, data controls), a skills and projects library built around the team's recurring work, MCP servers connecting Claude to the CRM, documents, and internal systems, role-based training for business teams, engineers, and leadership, and adoption measured by department. We also set up Claude Code Teams, build managed agents and custom skills, and deploy Claude on AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI. Most rollouts take four to six weeks.
