AI development that creates actual business value .

We build AI features that users pay for. Not demos. Not experiments. Production AI that increases revenue, reduces costs, and passes investor scrutiny.

Production AI

Why most AI projects fail.

You hire ML engineers. They build models. Six months later, you have impressive demos but nothing in production generating revenue.

What went wrong:

  • Built AI for AI's sake, not business outcomes
  • Focused on accuracy, not user value
  • Trained models without production data
  • Ignored cost of inference at scale
  • No plan for model monitoring or updates

Investors don't fund AI projects. They fund businesses that use AI to create value faster than competitors.

What production AI actually requires.

AI isn't just training a model. It's infrastructure, monitoring, updates, and business integration.

Demo AI:

  • • Train model on clean dataset
  • • Achieve 95% accuracy
  • • Show impressive results
  • • Win hackathons
  • • Generate no revenue

Production AI:

  • • Handle messy real-world data
  • • Optimize for cost and latency
  • • Monitor for drift and degradation
  • • Update models regularly
  • • Scale to millions of requests
  • • Generate measurable value

We build the second one.

AI use cases we build.

Not everything needs AI. We only build AI when it creates clear business value.

Document and data extraction

Extract data from PDFs, invoices, receipts. Parse unstructured documents. OCR with validation.

Business value: Reduce manual data entry by 80%. Process documents 10x faster.

Customer support automation

AI chatbots that actually help. Ticket classification and routing. Suggested responses for agents.

Business value: Reduce support costs 40-60%. Faster response times.

Content generation

Product descriptions at scale. Email personalization. Marketing copy variations.

Business value: 10x content output. Reduce writing time 70%.

Recommendation engines

Product recommendations. Content suggestions. Personalized feeds. Similar item matching.

Business value: 20-30% increase in engagement. Higher conversion rates.

Search and discovery

Semantic search. Natural language queries. Vector similarity search. Hybrid search systems.

Business value: Users find what they need 3x faster. Reduced bounce rates.

Predictive analytics

Churn prediction. Lead scoring. Demand forecasting. Anomaly detection.

Business value: Proactive interventions. Better resource allocation.

We don't build:

  • ✗ AGI or sentient AI
  • ✗ Self-driving cars
  • ✗ Medical diagnosis (liability too high)
  • ✗ Anything requiring custom foundation models
  • ✗ AI that replaces jobs just to replace jobs

Our AI development process.

Phase 1: Business case validation (Week 1)

Before we build anything, we validate that AI will create value.

Example: "Reduce invoice processing time from 10 minutes to 30 seconds, saving $200K/year"

Phase 2: Data assessment (Week 1-2)

AI quality depends on data quality. We audit what you have: availability, quality, and requirements.

We're honest about data requirements. Bad data = failed AI project.

Phase 3: MVP AI development (Week 2-6)

We build minimal AI that proves value before investing in scale. Model selection, training, integration, and testing.

Working AI feature in 4-6 weeks with real accuracy metrics and cost projections.

Phase 4: Production deployment (Week 6-8)

Infrastructure, monitoring, and safety rails. API layer, model serving, monitoring, input/output validation, rate limiting.

LLM integration (ChatGPT, Claude, etc).

Most startups should start with LLM APIs, not custom models.

OpenAI (GPT-4)

  • • Best for general intelligence
  • • Excellent at reasoning
  • • Good for code generation
  • • Cost: $0.03/1K tokens

Anthropic (Claude)

  • • Best for long documents
  • • More nuanced understanding
  • • Better at following instructions
  • • Cost: $0.024/1K tokens

Open source (Llama 3)

  • • Best for high volume
  • • Deploy on your infrastructure
  • • Full control and privacy
  • • Cost: Infrastructure only

When to use LLMs:

  • ✓ Content generation
  • ✓ Data extraction
  • ✓ Customer support
  • ✓ Code generation
  • ✓ Natural language queries
  • ✓ Summarization
  • ✓ Translation
  • ✓ Personalization

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

RAG lets LLMs answer questions using your company's data without retraining.

How RAG works:

  1. 1. Index your documents (convert to embeddings, store in vector database)
  2. 2. User asks question (search for relevant documents)
  3. 3. LLM generates answer (synthesize from retrieved docs)

Use cases:

  • • Internal knowledge base
  • • Customer support
  • • Legal and compliance
  • • Research and analysis

Timeline: 4-6 weeks | Investment: $60K-$100K

AI cost optimization.

AI can get expensive at scale. We optimize for cost from day one.

Cost breakdown:

  • • API costs (foundation models): At 1M requests/month: $5K-$50K
  • • Infrastructure costs (custom models): At scale: $2K-$20K/month
  • • Vector database: $50-$500/month

Optimization strategies:

  • • Prompt optimization (shorter prompts save money)
  • • Model selection (use smaller models when possible)
  • • Caching (can save 40-60% on costs)
  • • Request batching (lower per-unit cost)

We've reduced AI costs 70% through optimization while maintaining quality.

Case study: 70% cost reduction in document processing.

The Challenge

A fintech startup manually processed 10K invoices monthly. Each invoice took 8 minutes. Total cost: $150K/year in labor plus errors and delays.

Our approach

Week 1-2: Analyzed invoice formats, assessed data quality, calculated ROI

Week 3-6: Built classifier, trained extraction model, integrated with workflow

Week 7-8: Deployed to production, set up monitoring, trained team

The Result

Processing time:

8 min → 45 sec

Labor cost:

-70%

Error rate:

5% → 0.8%

Processing capacity:

10K → 50K/month
