Who we work with

We work with growth-stage and mid-market companies that have a real business problem AI might solve — not a mandate to "do something with AI." Most clients come to us in one of three situations. Our custom AI development services are built around the specific problem, not a packaged product.

Companies with a defined problem and unsure if AI is the answer

You have a clear operational pain — a manual process at scale, a prediction problem, a quality control bottleneck — and you're trying to figure out whether AI is the right tool, or whether something simpler would work better.

Companies that have run AI pilots that didn't make it to production

You've invested in AI experiments. They worked in a notebook. They didn't survive contact with real data, real volume, or real users. You need a partner who can take what's there and build something that actually runs.

Companies running AI in production that needs ongoing work

You have AI-powered systems live, and they need monitoring, retraining, integration with new data sources, or extension into adjacent use cases. You need a team that can build a scalable AI solution that operates long-term — not just ship a first version

How we help

Build computer vision systems that runs in real time

When the decision has to happen in milliseconds — on a production line, at a checkpoint, in a video stream — generic AI models and cloud APIs aren't enough.

We build custom computer vision systems that:

  • Run inference at production-grade latency (sub-100ms, on-edge if needed)
  • Integrate with existing hardware — cameras, PLCs, conveyors, inspection rigs
  • Train on your data, your defects, your operating conditions
  • Hold up under variable lighting, materials, and edge cases
  • Get monitored and retrained as conditions change

Real example:

Tikpack

Ukraine · 2025 – present 
(ongoing partnership)

Built this for Tikpack — a quality control system on a live grain packaging line. >93% detection accuracy, <64ms inference latency, 70% reduction in defects reaching customers, €39K annual savings, payback under 12 months.

Build predictive models that drive real business decisions

Most AI software development for prediction optimizes for model accuracy — but accuracy against a test set isn't the same as a decision that improves the business.

We build predictive systems that:

  • Frame the prediction around an actual business decision, not an accuracy target
  • Engineer features from the data you actually have, not the data you wish you had
  • Validate against held-out real-world performance — not just test sets
  • Integrate predictions into the workflows that act on them
  • Track decision outcomes so the model can improve over time

Real example:

AnyCurb

USA • April 2019 - October 2020

Built this for AnyCurb — an algorithm identifying properties likely to sell before they hit MLS. 300+ features across owner behavior, property characteristics, market conditions, and economic indicators. 85% predictive accuracy verified by independent third-party testing. The technology was a key factor in AnyCurb's acquisition by Gauntlet Funding.

Build document intelligence into systems that handle paperwork at scale

Manual data entry from documents is a productivity tax most companies have stopped questioning. OCR and document AI can absorb that work — when built as real enterprise AI integration, not just a pipeline that reads clean PDFs.

We build document intelligence that:

  • Handles scanned, photographed, multilingual, and mixed-format documents
  • Extracts structured data into your operational systems automatically
  • Adapts to domain-specific formats and regulatory requirements
  • Falls back gracefully when documents are unreadable or ambiguous
  • Improves over time as more documents flow through it

Real example:

Mulki

UAE · 2022–present 
(ongoing partnership)

Built this for Mulki — Arabic-language rental contract scanning inside a property management platform. Handles RTL/LTR mixed text, government-mandated Saudi contract formats, and auto-populates tenant and payment records. In production for over 3.5 years.

Build conversational interfaces that solve discovery or recommendation problem

NLP is at its most useful when it removes friction from a workflow people are already trying to do — finding the right thing, asking the right question, navigating an option space too large for a static UI.

We build conversational systems that:

  • Map intent to the data and actions that actually exist in your system
  • Use smart tagging and structured retrieval, not just generic LLM calls
  • Stay grounded in your domain so they don't hallucinate their way into bad recommendations
  • Integrate with your operational backend so conversations lead to outcomes
  • Handle real user language — not just the queries you'd write yourself

Real example:

Rebind

May 2023 – ongoing 
(ongoing partnership)

Built this for Rebind — an AI reading platform pairing classic literature with conversational commentary from renowned thinkers (Derren Brown, John Banville, Deepak Chopra, Margaret Atwood). The system blends indexed expert interviews with generative AI responses, with "x-ray mode" showing users whether content comes from a real expert or from AI. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2025 and featured in Time's Best Inventions of 2024.

Unight Bot

China • October 2021 - March 2024

Also built for Unight Bot — an AI venue discovery assistant inside a nightlife platform. Live in production.

What makes this different

We start with whether AI is the right answer

A 2025 MIT study of 300 enterprise AI deployments found that 95% of generative AI pilots never reach production. The failures rarely come down to the model — they come down to integration, data quality, and the gap between a concept and production. Good AI/ML solutions development starts with the problem, not the model.

We stay because AI doesn't stay accurate on its own

A model that ships at 93% accuracy can drift to 70% within months as your data changes. AI model development is the beginning, not the end — systems need monitoring, retraining, and refinement. That work compounds when the team that built the model is the team that operates it, and breaks down when it gets handed off.

How we engage

1.

Discover & Align

01

Discover & Align

Before any model gets built, we figure out whether AI is the right answer. We assess the problem, the data you have, the data you'd need, and the operating conditions the system will run in. Sometimes the honest output of this stage is a recommendation not to build AI — and we'll say so.

2.

Architect

02

Architect

Once feasibility is clear, we design the full system: model architecture, data pipeline, deployment topology, latency budget, monitoring plan. We pick the simplest approach that meets your requirements — generic API, fine-tuned model, custom training, edge inference — based on what your environment can support. Drift detection and operational tooling get designed in from the start, not bolted on later.

3.

Build & Iterate

03

Build & Iterate

We build, train, and validate against real production conditions, not just clean test sets. Data quality issues, edge cases, and integration gaps surface early because we run validation alongside development. The first version that ships isn't the most accurate one we can produce — it's the most accurate one that holds up under your actual operational constraints.

4.

Launch & Stabilize

04

Launch & Stabilize

The system goes live with monitoring, alerting, and drift detection running from day one. We track real-world performance against expected behavior, catch regressions before they affect users, and tune based on what production data reveals. A stable AI system isn't one that works on launch day — it's one that's still working three months in.

5.

Evolve & Scale

05

Evolve & Scale

AI systems need ongoing work. Data distributions shift, edge cases emerge, new use cases open up, and accuracy needs to be defended over time. We stay long-term to monitor, retrain, extend, and refine — because the team that built the model is the team best positioned to operate it.

Most engagements run multiple years across these stages, with the work shifting from build to operate to extend over time.

Industry Expertise

We've shipped AI and intelligent systems across multiple industries. Each industry brings its own data, regulatory, and operational constraints — and we work in all four below.

Let's figure out if AI makes sense for your business

Not every problem needs AI. We'll start with your business challenge and give you an honest assessment of whether AI is the right approach — and if it is, what it takes to build a system that actually works in production.

FAQ

How do you decide whether AI is actually the right solution for a business problem?

We start every engagement with a feasibility assessment — before any AI model development begins. We look at the problem, the data you have, the data you'd need, and what a good outcome actually looks like in your business workflows. Sometimes the honest answer is that AI isn't the right tool — a rules-based system, a better process, or a simpler automation would solve the problem faster and more reliably. When AI is the right answer, that assessment tells us what kind: machine learning models, computer vision, NLP, or a combination. We don't skip this step because develop AI systems that don't connect to a real business outcome is how most AI projects fail.

What's the difference between building custom AI systems and using off-the-shelf AI tools?

Off-the-shelf AI tools are built for the average use case. They work until your data, your domain, or your operational constraints diverge from what they were designed for. When you need to create custom AI solutions — trained on your defects, your documents, your customer language, your prediction targets — generic tools either don't reach the accuracy threshold or can't integrate with the systems that act on the output. Being a partner for a custom AI solution means we build around your specific problem, your existing infrastructure, and the legacy systems that need to connect to it. That's a different scope than configuring an API.

How long does custom AI development typically take?

Timeline depends heavily on data readiness and system complexity. A focused build AI solutions for SMBs engagement — a single prediction model or document pipeline integrated into an existing system — can reach a production-ready state in 3 to 5 months. More complex enterprise AI integration projects involving multiple models, modernization of legacy data infrastructure, and multi-system integration generally run 6 to 12 months for the initial build phase. Most of our AI engagements then continue into an operate-and-extend phase — the model is live, but the work of retraining, monitoring, and expanding scope continues as your data and business evolve.

Can you integrate AI into our existing software and workflows?

Yes — and in most cases, integration is the hardest part of the project. A model that produces good predictions in isolation but doesn't connect to the system your operations teams actually use delivers no value. Our AI integrations for enterprise software work covers the full stack: model output feeding into operational dashboards, document AI populating records automatically, conversational interfaces connected to your product backend. We scope the integration requirements during the feasibility phase so there are no surprises when it's time to deploy.

How much does custom AI development cost?

Cost depends on model complexity, data readiness, and how much integration work the enterprise environment requires. A focused computer vision or document intelligence system built as a standalone module typically starts at $40K–$80K. Full custom AI solutions development with multiple models, data pipeline work, and deep system integration generally runs $100K–$300K for the initial build. Ongoing operate-and-extend work — retraining, monitoring, feature expansion — is structured as a continuation of the development engagement rather than a separate support contract. We scope all of this during the feasibility assessment before any commitment is made.
