# Cabin > Cabin is a digital experience and AI consultancy based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Senior strategists, designers, and engineers help enterprise teams think clearly, build boldly, and ship digital products and agentic systems that deliver real business outcomes. Cabin's founding team spent two decades shaping digital transformation with some of the most ambitious companies in the world. When AI arrived as a genuine force, they built a firm around a simple belief: the best work happens when human ingenuity and AI converge. Cabin works across strategy, design, and engineering, finds the real problem before solving it, and builds capability inside client teams instead of dependency on Cabin. ## Services Cabin has three service lines. - [Strategy & AI Advisory](https://cabinco.com/services/strategy-innovation/): AI strategy consulting, AI readiness assessments, strategic vision and roadmapping, executive workshops, feasibility studies, experience strategy, service design, and AI trust and governance. - [AI Trust & Governance](https://cabinco.com/services/ai-trust-governance/): part of Strategy & AI Advisory. AI governance frameworks, regulatory readiness, guardrails, and model monitoring. - [Product Design & Engineering](https://cabinco.com/services/product-design-engineering/): UX and UI design, AI-native interfaces, design systems, prototyping, full-stack engineering, platform and app modernization, and agentic systems built to run in production. - [Data Core & Platforms](https://cabinco.com/services/platform-implementation/): Data architecture and data engineering for AI, enterprise platform implementation and integration (including Salesforce and its native AI), and managed platform services. ## How Cabin works - We're good at AI because we were good before AI. Senior practitioners with decades of enterprise product work; craftsmanship runs through the whole process. - Solve the workflows that cost you the most. Cabin hunts expensive workflows: too many people, too much complexity, too much cost. The real problem usually hides one layer deeper. - We build capability, not dependency. Capability transfers through the work itself, not a handoff session at the end. Every framework, tool, and way of working is designed to be owned by the people who carry it forward. ## Company facts - Name: Cabin (legal entity: Cabin Consulting LLC) - What it is: digital experience and AI consultancy - Headquarters: 421 Penman St, Suite 310, Charlotte, NC 28203 - Founded: February 2024 - Jurisdiction: North Carolina, USA - Team size: 54 people (October 2026) - Industries served: Financial services, insurance, healthcare, and other regulated enterprises - Platforms: Salesforce, custom AI and agentic stacks - Featured project: [Amissa Health](https://cabinco.com/amissa/), a HIPAA-compliant iOS app and research platform for women experiencing menopause - Website: https://cabinco.com - Clutch profile: https://clutch.co/profile/cabin-consulting ## Organizations our team has served Cabin's team brings experience serving Fortune 500 enterprises and category-leading organizations across financial services, healthcare, insurance, travel, and industrials, including: - **FICO**: analytics and decisioning leader - **American Airlines**: global airline - **Vanguard**: investment management - **First Horizon**: regional banking - **Mastercard**: global payments network - **Trane Technologies**: climate innovation and industrial systems - **SageSure**: coastal property insurance - **USAA**: financial services for military members and families - **DaVita**: kidney care and dialysis services - **Intermountain Health**: integrated health system - **NPT (National Philanthropic Trust)**: donor-advised funds and philanthropic services - **Amissa Health**: wearable platform for women experiencing menopause ## Insights: choosing and running AI work - [Best AI Consulting Firms in 2026 (Honestly Compared)](https://cabinco.com/best-ai-consulting-firms/): Large firms vs AI-native boutiques, and a four-question test to pick yours. - [What Is AI Consulting?
