AI App Development

A prototype impresses a room. A product survives a Monday.

01 / The Problem

Someone in your team wired a demo together and the room applauded. Then legal asked where the data goes and ops asked who carries the pager.

The demo has no error handling, no access control, no cost ceiling and no way to tell whether its answers got worse last week.

That is not a product. That is a liability with a nice interface.

02 / What We Do

The Work

01
The product itself
Web app, mobile app, browser extension or internal tool. Built to be handed over, not to be demoed.
02
A model layer, not a lock-in
Provider-agnostic from day one, with fallbacks. When a model gets worse, more expensive, or disappears, you swap it instead of rebuilding.
03
Guardrails and evaluations
A fixed test set that runs on every change, so you find out that quality dropped before your customers do.
04
Cost control
Token budgets, caching and hard ceilings per user. AI bills go vertical quietly. Not on our watch.
05
Handover
Repository, runbook, monitoring and an on-call path. You own it. That is the point.

03 / How It Runs

Scope
1 week
What it does, who uses it, what it must never do. Fixed before a line is written.
Build
6–12 weeks
Two-week increments, each one testable by your people, not just by us.
Run
ongoing
We operate it, or we hand it over with the runbook and stay reachable.
