01 — AI Engineering

Build smarter. Ship faster. Scale with AI.

We design, build and deploy custom AI around your data, workflows and goals — from autonomous agents to process automation. No off-the-shelf bots: production systems with evals, guardrails and human fallbacks from day one.

What we deliver

AI Engineering, end to end

AI products, agents, RAG and automation shipped to production with evals and guardrails.

  • 01

    Custom AI agents

    Agents that reason, plan and execute multi-step work — querying databases, calling APIs, drafting documents and coordinating with other agents — with guardrails, monitoring and human-in-the-loop fallbacks.

    • Multi-agent orchestration
    • Tool use & API integration
    • RAG-powered knowledge bases
    • Human-in-the-loop workflows
  • 02

    AI features in your product

    Semantic search that understands intent, recommendations that learn from behaviour, content generation and conversational interfaces — with prompt engineering, output validation, caching and fallbacks for production reliability.

    • Semantic search & embeddings
    • Personalisation engines
    • Conversational UI
    • Vision & image analysis
  • 03

    Intelligent process automation

    Automation that copes when inputs vary: read emails, invoices, contracts and tickets, extract what matters, apply your business rules and act — wired into Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot or Notion, with a dashboard showing what it did.

    • Document processing & extraction
    • Email & ticket triage
    • Workflow orchestration
    • Anomaly detection & alerts
  • 04

    Predictive analytics

    Custom ML models for demand forecasting, churn prediction, lead scoring and fraud or anomaly detection. We own the whole pipeline — data cleaning, features, training, validation, deployment and monitoring — and serve models through APIs your dashboards already use.

    • Demand & revenue forecasting
    • Churn prediction
    • Lead scoring
    • Anomaly & fraud detection
  • 05

    AI product development

    End-to-end products with AI at the core: model selection, streaming responses, vector databases for RAG, evaluation frameworks, latency and cost management, usage-based billing and graceful degradation when models misbehave.

    • Vector DB & RAG architecture
    • Evaluation & quality frameworks
    • Cost & latency optimisation
    • Scalable cloud infrastructure
  • 06

    AI strategy & roadmap

    A two-week discovery sprint: stakeholder interviews, a data-infrastructure audit and workflow mapping to find the three to five highest-value opportunities — delivered as a prioritised roadmap with effort, impact and build-vs-buy calls.

    • AI readiness assessment
    • Use-case scoring
    • Build vs. buy analysis
    • Phased roadmap

How we work

From brief to running system

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We audit your workflows, data and goals to find the AI opportunities with the highest impact, and agree how success will be measured.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    In two to three weeks we build a working proof-of-concept on your real data — not a slide deck — to validate the approach before you commit further.

  3. 03

    Build

    Production engineering with tests, evals, guardrails, monitoring and human fallbacks for uncertain outputs.

  4. 04

    Deploy & iterate

    Launch, watch accuracy and usage on a live dashboard, gather feedback and keep improving the system with each release.

Engagements & proof

What working together looks like

Typical engagement

Most AI work starts with a two-to-three-week proof-of-concept on your real data, then moves to a six-to-eight-week production build once the approach is validated.

Fixed-price packages for well-defined scope; hourly or retainer for evolving work. Every quote follows a scoping call.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

Something else? Ask us directly — we reply within 24 hours.

How long does a custom AI solution take?

A proof-of-concept typically takes two to three weeks. Production systems take six to twelve weeks depending on complexity, data readiness and integrations. We always start with a focused prototype to validate the approach before a full build.

Do we need our own data?

Not always. Many solutions work with pre-trained models such as Claude or GPT that need no custom training data. Predictive analytics and personalisation do need historical data — we assess what you have and identify gaps during discovery.

How do you handle data privacy and security?

Data stays within your infrastructure or approved cloud environments. We support private model hosting and on-premise deployments, work within your compliance requirements (for example GDPR or HIPAA), and never use your data to train models without explicit consent.

Which models and frameworks do you use?

We are model-agnostic and pick the right tool for each use case: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, open-source models such as Llama and Mistral, and specialised models for vision, speech and embeddings. For agents we use the Claude Agent SDK, LangChain, CrewAI or a custom orchestration layer.

What if the AI makes mistakes?

Every production system ships with guardrails: output validation, confidence scoring, human-in-the-loop fallbacks and monitoring. When the model is uncertain it escalates to a person instead of guessing, and evaluation pipelines measure and improve accuracy over time.

Can you add AI to our existing software?

Yes — most of our AI work extends existing products and workflows. We integrate through APIs, webhooks and native SDKs with platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, Shopify and custom backends. Nothing needs rebuilding from scratch.
