Where does an engagement start?
With the room the work happens in. We map who does the work, where the information comes from, and what has to be true before anything is finished. A written estimate is given before work starts.

Context + continuity for AI
AI that reads the room.
Then speaks.
The premiseContext before completion
Most AI starts
with a person.
We start with
the room.
Teams, families and clients don't think alone. Yet most AI treats every question as if it came from nowhere.
LostMind AI understands the group first, keeps each group walled off, then adds a layer that's personal to you.

Consultancy / property + financeScoped up front
AI for the work
that can't be vague.
Property and finance work is where we started, and it still shapes how we take on automation: people approve the numbers, exceptions stay visible, and every engagement is scoped and quoted in writing before work begins. The products come first. This work sits beside them.
Month-end, reporting and variance-commentary workflows where AI drafts and people approve the numbers.
What you get: A scoped workflow, review gates and a path to production you agree in the scope.
The AI receptionist is a managed pilot, not a self-serve product. See the AI receptionist.
About / the founderOne careful step at a time
BUILT
IN SYDNEY.
LostMind AI was founded in Sydney by Sumit Mondal, after a career in property and finance — work where getting the context right is the whole job.
We're an independent studio building grounded AI products and practical automation. Not AI theatre. Not another blank chat box. Systems that know what belongs in the room, and what doesn't.

Made for teams, families and groups who plan and decide together.
Grounded
Sources are shown, uncertainty is marked, and people stay in control.
Independent
Designed and built by a founder with a bias toward useful, checked work.

Quick answers
Before you ask.
Do you publish day rates or package prices?
No. Scope changes the work, so a written estimate comes before a start date. The AI receptionist pilot is the exception, and its setup and monthly figures are on that page.
Who is this for?
Australian businesses, with a particular depth in property and finance teams that live in documents, spreadsheets and month-end. The same discipline applies to other document-heavy work.

A stubborn PDF. A month-end bottleneck. A shared space that needs a memory.
