AI Development Services
We build AI into products that already have real users and real constraints, not into demos. That means LLM features, AI agent systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over your own data, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, designed to hold up under production load, cost limits, and review discipline, not just work once in a notebook.
What's included
- LLM feature development: chat, generation, extraction, and classification wired into your product
- AI agent systems: single-agent and multi-agent orchestration, tool use, and guardrails
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): chunking, embeddings, retrieval, and evaluation, tuned to your data
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): tool and data integrations for agentic workflows
- Model selection and cost tuning across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight models
- Evals: a test harness so an AI feature can be trusted to ship, not just demoed
How we approach the work
Define the job and the failure bar
Start with the user task, the inputs the feature will actually see, and the answers it must never give. That determines whether an LLM, retrieval, an agent, or a simpler rule is the right tool.
Connect real data and permissions
Work inside the existing product boundary. Retrieval and tools need to respect authentication, tenant scope, and source freshness, with enough traceability to explain an answer.
Measure before rollout
Build an evaluation set from representative inputs, then check output quality, retrieval, latency, and cost as the system changes. A release decision should come from those results rather than a good demo.
Who this is for
- Products that need an AI feature that works on real user data, not a scripted demo
- Teams that have run a pilot and need help getting it to production
- Companies evaluating build vs. buy for an AI capability
