AI-Powered Apps

    AI features that ship to production — not just demos.

    Copilots, chat assistants, RAG over your data, and autonomous agents — built on GPT, Claude, and open models, wired into your real workflows with guardrails, evals, and cost control.

    Most AI demos break in production. I build the ones that don't.

    A flashy AI demo takes a weekend. An AI feature your users trust takes engineering — retrieval that returns the right context, prompts that hold up under edge cases, guardrails against hallucination, evals that catch regressions, and cost controls so a viral week doesn't bankrupt you.

    I build AI products end to end: the model layer, the retrieval and data pipeline, the product around it, and the measurement that proves it works. Model-agnostic by design, so you're never locked to one provider's pricing or roadmap.

    What's included

    Everything you need, built properly — no shortcuts.

    Chat & copilots

    In-product assistants and copilots that understand your domain and take real actions, not just answer questions.

    RAG over your data

    Retrieval-augmented generation grounded in your documents, database, and knowledge base — with citations.

    Autonomous agents

    Multi-step agents that plan, call tools, and complete workflows with human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

    Workflow automation

    Classification, extraction, summarisation, and routing that removes repetitive ops work at scale.

    Evals & guardrails

    Automated evaluation suites and safety guardrails so quality is measured and hallucination is contained.

    Cost & latency control

    Caching, model routing, and streaming so responses are fast and your token bill stays predictable.

    The full scope

    Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price — you know exactly what you're getting before we start, and you own all of it when we're done.

    • AI use-case discovery & feasibility review
    • Prompt engineering & system design
    • RAG pipeline: ingestion, embeddings, vector store
    • Model integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, open models)
    • Tool-calling, agents, and orchestration
    • Evaluation harness + guardrails
    • Cost, caching, and latency optimisation
    • Full source code + handoff & support

    How it works

    A clear, collaborative process — you always know what's happening and what's next.

    SaaS teams

    You want to add a genuinely useful AI feature that retains users — not a bolted-on chatbot.

    Ops-heavy products

    You have repetitive, language-based work (support, review, extraction) ripe for automation.

    Support automation

    You want to deflect tickets and speed up your team with AI grounded in your own knowledge base.

    Common questions

    Everything founders usually ask before we start.

    I'm model-agnostic — GPT, Claude, Gemini, and open-source models like Llama. I pick based on your quality, latency, privacy, and cost needs, and design so you can switch providers later.

    Retrieval-Augmented Generation grounds the model in your own data so answers are accurate and cite sources. If your AI needs to know about your specific docs, products, or customers — yes, you need it.

    Through grounding (RAG with citations), guardrails, structured outputs, and automated evals that measure accuracy on real cases before and after every change.

    No. I use enterprise API tiers and configurations where your data is never used for training, and can deploy open models in your own environment when privacy demands it.

    Caching, prompt optimisation, model routing (cheap models for easy tasks), and streaming. You get a cost dashboard so spend is always predictable.
