AI Development

AI development that survives contact with real users

Custom AI models, LLM integration, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows: engineered for production and evaluated against your users' actual success criteria.

Why choose us for AI development?

AI features are easy to demo and hard to keep working. We build the evaluation, guardrails and plumbing that keep a model useful once real users and real data arrive.

  • LLM integration + orchestration

    We have wired OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source models into products already in use, so the prompting architecture, streaming and error handling arrive as one piece of work rather than three surprises after launch.

  • Fine-tuning + custom models

    Fine-tuned models on your domain data are evaluated against your success criteria rather than generic benchmarks that do not reflect your users, so the number in the report is the number your users will feel.

  • RAG pipelines

    Chunking strategies, embedding models and reranking are tuned to your actual document corpus, because retrieval quality is decided by the documents you have rather than the ones in a demo.

  • Agentic workflows

    Multi-step agent architectures with tool use, memory and human-in-the-loop checkpoints, shipped to production rather than left in research, with the architecture chosen against the risk profile of the actions the agent takes.

  • AI feature integration

    The AI model is the easy part. Evaluation harnesses, guardrails, streaming, observability and the UX layer around the model are where most of the effort sits, and we scope for them from the start rather than discovering them at launch.

  • Eval + safety frameworks

    Automated evaluation suites, guardrail layers and regression testing mean a new model version cannot quietly regress your AI features; the harness tells you before your users do.

What we build in AI development

Features where a model does the work, with the retrieval, evaluation and human sign-off around it that keep them useful in production.

How we build AI development

Four stages, with the evaluation harness built before the production features it will judge.

  • Week 1 to 2: Discovery + feasibility

    We map your use case against model capabilities, estimate accuracy ceilings, and build a quick end-to-end prototype on your actual data.

  • Week 3 to 4: Evaluation framework

    Before building production features, we build the eval harness: the tests that tell you whether the AI is actually working for your users.

  • Week 5 to 10: Build + iterate

    Model selection, fine-tuning, prompt architecture, and the integration layer. Weekly demos on real data, not synthetic benchmarks.

  • Week 11 to 12: Hardening + launch

    Guardrails, fallback behaviour, observability dashboards, cost monitoring, and a runbook handoff so your team can operate and extend it.
