The problem

What gets in the way

AI is easy to demo and hard to put into production.

  1. AI know-how is missing in-house

    You see the opportunities, but your team has never built anything like it. Hiring someone who has makes sense, provided they hand it over too. We have built hundreds of complex AI solutions for companies in dozens of industries.

  2. The pilot never reaches production

    A demo on ten examples is quickly built; thousands of documents and real users are another story. We take that step to a system that runs every day together with your team.

  3. Dependent on one lone freelancer

    One outsider building something nobody else understands becomes a risk the day they leave. We build beside your team and everything is yours, documented and handed over.

  4. AI where it isn't needed at all

    Not every problem needs a language model. Where a plain script works better, we build a plain script.

How we look at it

A pilot that does well on ten examples is a very different thing from a system your whole team uses every day. That's where the gap sits. Plenty of companies have an idea and maybe a first experiment, but lack the people who can actually finish it.

That's the gap we fill. You don't hire a lone freelancer who builds a black box on their own, you get engineers who sit next to your team and build something you can maintain yourself afterwards. Our engineers have done that for companies in dozens of industries.

We bring that experience, and we hand it over. Because an AI engineer who walks off with all the knowledge in their head isn't a solution, that's a new problem. We think along with you: we listen first to what you want to achieve now and where you are heading, then choose the technology to match, for the most scalable and powerful result that is cost-efficient at the same time.

What we build

How we help

  1. Our engineers work inside your code, your meetings and your tools. We build together, so your team watches and grows along.

  2. We don't leave an idea stuck in a demo; we carry it through to something that copes with real volumes and real users.

  3. The end goal is that you no longer need us. We record how it works and why it was built this way; code, prompts and settings are yours.

  4. We build what works in practice today: search across your own documents with source references (RAG) and agents that start functions in your systems from one instruction.

  5. If something calls for a simple integration or a script, we say so, even when it means fewer hours for us. We use AI where it makes the difference.

Our approach

From idea to working software in four phases

Every project runs through the same four phases, so you always know what's happening, what comes next and what it costs, from first call to live software, usually in weeks rather than months.

  1. 01
    Phase 1Free intake

    Understand & analyse

    Everything starts with a good conversation. We map your goals, processes and the bottlenecks worth solving: no sales pitch, just an honest read on where the biggest win sits.

    Bare rock, the starting point before anything grows
  2. 02
    Phase 2Free blueprint

    Blueprint & quote

    We turn the analysis into a blueprint: a clear plan showing exactly which steps we'll take and why, paired with one fixed quote. You know up front precisely what we build, what it costs and when it's done, so the bill can't surprise you afterwards. And that blueprint is free and without obligation.

  3. 03
    Phase 3Prototype in days

    Build, test & deploy

    Then we build, in short iterations. You see a working prototype in days and a finished product in weeks. We work on a modern, AI-native and secure stack, with data protection and GDPR in mind from day one.

    Phase 4100% your code

    Implement & optimise

    We launch, hand over the full codebase and keep improving on your terms. You get 100% ownership of the code we write. Hosting and maintenance are optional.

100% code ownership

Your code, fully yours.

Live in weeks

Prototypes in days, finished in weeks.

Modern & secure

A scalable stack that always integrates with the latest tech. Secured by our in-house cybersecurity experts.

Tools & tech

Not tied to one model or platform

We're not tied to one model or platform. We pick the AI approach that fits your data, budget and goal (an off-the-shelf model, a custom pipeline, or a mix), and we're honest when simpler tech does the job just as well.

What you get

  • Seasoned AI engineers who work in your codebase and your process
  • A pilot that we take through to a production-grade system
  • RAG, agents or function calling on your own data and documents
  • Source citations and checkpoints wherever the output must be verifiable
  • All code, prompts and configuration fully yours, documented and ready to hand over
  • Documentation and knowledge handover so your team can run it themselves
  • Honest advice on where AI pays off and where a simpler option is better
  • A fixed price agreed upfront, with no open ends

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to hire an AI specialist?

You always get a fixed price agreed upfront. The price depends on what you want to build and how far it already stands: taking a pilot to production is different from starting from scratch. We map your situation first, break the work into pieces, and then give a price for what you actually need. That way you know from the start where you stand.

How long before there's something working?

We work in short iterations, so you see a working version quickly. A first usable setup is often there within weeks; a full production pipeline takes more time. The exact timeline depends on how much data is involved and how clean it is, and we agree that upfront.

Who owns what you build, and am I locked in?

Everything is yours. You get the code, the prompts and the configuration in full, with documentation and a handover. That's the whole point of how we work: we build alongside your team and hand over the knowledge, so your team takes over. You're not tied to us and everyone on your team can get in. You can continue on your own or with another party at any time.

Will this replace my own people?

No, it strengthens them. We come to bring the know-how that's still missing, not to replace your team. We build next to your people, explain why we do it this way, and hand it over so they can maintain and extend it themselves. The goal is for your team to run it themselves, without needing us forever.

Is AI genuinely needed here?

Not always. If your problem calls for a simple integration, a script or ordinary automation, that's faster, cheaper and more stable than a language model. We apply AI where it demonstrably makes the difference.

Do you work on our own data and in our environment?

Yes. We build RAG, agents and function calling on your own data and documents, inside your environment and respecting your security requirements. We do that with sensitive client and company data too. We set it up so the output stays verifiable.
