Addaptive is an Australian AI consulting firm that helps mid-market businesses with 30 to 200 employees become AI-capable through practical training, accelerator programs, and implementation support. Based in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, Addaptive takes a training-first approach, building internal capability rather than consultant dependency.
Faster teams. Better output.Powered by AI
We help mid-sized businesses work better by embedding AI into how their people and teams actually operate. The result is an organisation that moves quicker, produces higher-quality work, and does more with the team it already has.
Trusted by Australian businesses
Your people are busy. But busy isn't the same as efficient.
Most mid-sized businesses are carrying hidden drag: duplicated effort, manual processes that should take a fraction of the time, and smart people stuck doing low-value work. The tools to fix this exist today. The problem is that most organisations haven't figured out how to put them to work properly.
That's what we do.

“Addaptive's training was the most practical and immediately useful AI session our team has ever attended. Everyone walked out knowing exactly what to do differently.”
“David doesn't just talk about AI, he shows you how to use it in your actual workflows. Our team's productivity shifted noticeably within the first week.”
“The AI Accelerator Program gave us a clear roadmap. We went from not knowing where to start to having three AI pilots running within eight weeks.”
Three ways we help your business adopt AI
From first conversation to fully embedded AI capability, we meet you where you are and take you where you need to be.
You work with the people who do the work
