AI Development

AI systems designed, built and run for production.

We take AI from a named workflow to a monitored system: strategy and data readiness, agents and generative AI, retrieval over your knowledge, conversational channels, predictive models and the operations that keep them reliable.

Grouped by where they sit in the lifecycle: plan, build, interact, integrate and operate.

Lifecycle

Discover, prepare, build, evaluate, run.

The same five stages apply whether the result is an agent, an assistant or a forecasting model.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Pick the workflow, agree the outcome and record today's baseline.

    Use-case brief and baseline

  2. 02

    Prepare

    Get access to the data and systems, check quality and settle the architecture.

    Data and architecture plan

  3. 03

    Build

    Implement the model layer, integrations and interface in short, reviewed iterations.

    Working increments every sprint

  4. 04

    Evaluate

    Test against real tasks, compare with the baseline and decide what needs a person.

  5. 05

    Run

    Release in stages, monitor quality and cost, and improve with your team.

Choose the right shape

Agent, copilot, chatbot or model?

Different problems need different kinds of AI. This is how we help buyers self-select before a first conversation.

ApproachWhat it doesBest whenPeople's role
AI agentPlans and takes approved actions across tools and systemsThe task needs judgement and action, and the limits can be written downApprove risky actions, review exceptions
CopilotDrafts, summarizes or suggests inside someone's existing workEvery output needs a person's sign-offDecide on every output
ChatbotAnswers questions in text from approved knowledgeMany people ask similar questionsHandle escalations
Voice agentHandles spoken calls: answering, routing, schedulingPhone volume is high and requests are predictableTake over complex calls
Predictive modelForecasts, classifies or scores from historical dataThere is enough history and a clear decision to supportAct on the prediction
Conventional automationRuns fixed rules between systemsThe steps are known and the inputs are structuredOwn the rules
Engagement

Three ways to start.

Most AI work begins with a short discovery sprint, then moves into a build with a clear first release.

Discovery sprint

For a use case that needs shaping before anyone commits to a build — scope, data, feasibility and a plan.

Included
  • Workshops with the people who do the work
  • Data and system access review
  • Feasibility prototype where useful
  • Phased plan and fixed-price proposal
Typical shape
2–4 weeks, fixed fee
Plan a discovery sprint
Most common

Build and launch

For a defined system with a clear first release — an agent, an assistant, an integration or a product.

Included
  • Cross-functional delivery team
  • Releases to staging every two weeks
  • Evaluation suite and monitoring
  • Handover documentation and runbooks
Typical shape
Fixed-scope phases
Scope a build

Run and improve

For systems already in production that need monitoring, tuning and a team that keeps extending them.

Included
  • Monitoring of quality, cost and latency
  • Regular evaluation runs
  • A standing backlog of improvements
  • Scale the team up or down each quarter
Typical shape
Monthly, rolling

We choose per task and keep the choice swappable — commercial APIs, open-weight models or both. The decision weighs quality on your evaluation set, cost, latency and where your data is allowed to go.

Often, yes. Many systems can run in your cloud account with private model endpoints; some models are only available as managed APIs. See Enterprise & Private AI.

We build an evaluation set of real tasks with known good outcomes during discovery, measure against it before every release and monitor the same measures in production.

Designs include a fallback: low-confidence answers go to a person, actions above a threshold need approval, and every output is logged so mistakes can be traced and fixed.

You do — code, prompts, evaluation sets and configuration. See how we work.
