AI-Powered
Solutions

Practical AI, not buzzword AI. We build automation, natural language interfaces, and predictive tools where they actually add value to your workflow and bottom line.

What we build

AI that solves problems, not AI for AI's sake

Most businesses don't need AGI. They need a system that reads their invoices, answers customer questions at 2am, or flags anomalies before they become expensive. We build the specific AI tools that address your specific bottlenecks.

We work with the leading LLM providers and open-source models to design solutions that fit your data, your compliance requirements, and your budget, then wire them into your existing stack.

LLM Integration & Chatbots

Custom AI assistants trained on your data, for customer support, internal knowledge bases, or guided workflows with guardrails.

Document Processing & Extraction

Automated ingestion, classification, and data extraction from invoices, contracts, forms, and unstructured documents at scale.

Workflow Automation

AI-triggered workflows that route, transform, and act on data, cutting manual touchpoints and human error across your operations.

Predictive Analytics

Models that forecast demand, flag churn risk, surface anomalies, or prioritize leads, built on your historical data.

AI questions

What businesses ask before starting an AI project

What does an AI development project cost and how long does it take?

Most engagements start with a 2 to 4 week consulting phase to map AI opportunities and rule out the bad ideas, followed by a 3 to 6 week proof of concept on your real data. A first production release typically runs 8 to 16 weeks. The initial 30-minute discovery call is free, and after it you get a written summary with an estimated timeline, a price range, and the key risks.

Which AI models do you build on, and will we be locked into one vendor?

We work with Anthropic Claude, the OpenAI GPT family, Google Gemini, and open-source models when self-hosting is the right call. We design integrations so the model layer is swappable. Your data pipelines, evals, and guardrails stay yours regardless of which provider you use, so you are never locked in.

How do you keep AI chatbots and agents from making things up?

We ground responses in your own data using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), constrain what the system is allowed to say with guardrails, and measure output quality with automated evals before and after launch. Production AI without evals and observability is a liability, and we do not ship it that way.

Is our company data safe if we integrate an LLM?

Yes, when it is architected correctly. We review your data sensitivity and compliance requirements during discovery, use enterprise API agreements that exclude your data from model training, and can deploy open-source models inside your own infrastructure when data cannot leave your environment.

We're not sure AI is even the right answer for our problem. Can you help us figure that out?

That is what our AI consulting engagements are for: an AI readiness assessment, a build-vs-buy analysis, and a prioritized use-case backlog. We will tell you honestly when a simpler automation or a workflow fix beats an AI project. No hype, no over-engineering.

Can you add AI to the systems we already run?

Yes. Most of our AI work is integration, not replacement: layering document processing, intelligent search, or workflow automation onto your existing CRM, ERP, or custom software. Our integrated business systems practice means we already know how to connect to what you have.
