Meet Kavan Sohal
The consultant is the person doing the work.
Kavan came to AI from marketing and operations, not from software sales. After 11+ years inside agencies, and now as an SEO Director at a large global brand, the focus is always the same: find the workflow where AI saves real hours or wins real revenue, build it, measure it, and train the people who will use it.
Signal & Form is run part time alongside that role, so each AI project is small in team size and large in seniority. You work with the person designing and building the system.

Types of projects
The AI work Kavan builds and runs.
These are the kinds of systems Kavan has built in client projects, partner pilots, and on Kavan's own web properties. Each is scoped to a single, measurable job before it grows.
Real-time AI voice agents
Speech-to-speech phone and web agents, built on ElevenLabs and OpenAI real-time voice, that answer, qualify, and book, with a confirmation step before anything is committed and every call logged to the CRM.
AI lead qualification
Inbound form and email triage that scores fit and urgency, routes the lead, and drafts the first reply for a human to approve.
Decision routing and ticket triage
Classifiers that sort incoming requests into the right queue with measured accuracy against a labelled evaluation set, not a demo.
AI content and creative workflows
Research-to-draft pipelines where AI drafts and a person owns the keyword research, editing, and final call. Plus AI video and 3D for new web properties.
AI search (GEO) visibility
Getting brands cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews through entity work, structured data, and source-worthy content.
Team AI enablement
Workshops and coaching that move a team from "we have licences" to written workflows people use every week, with clear AI-use guidelines.
The toolkit
Model-agnostic, picked for the job.
There is no single best AI tool. Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini each win at different tasks, ElevenLabs has made natural-sounding voice agents practical, and creative tools like Seedance, Higgsfield, and Tripo have made video and 3D production possible for small teams. Kavan uses them daily, on client work and on new web properties, so recommendations come from use, not vendor briefings.
