// AI DEVELOPMENT
We build, ship, and operate AI features inside real products. Agents, RAG, voice, vision, automation, engineered with evals, monitoring, and on-call from day one.

// WHEN TO CALL US
You're probably here because one of these is true. Here's what we do about each.
Vapor demos
Prototypes that ship as Twitter clips and never reach a real user. Polished walkthroughs, zero production hardening.
What we doWe build the feature inside your real product from day one: production data, real users, error handling and monitoring. The demo is the first milestone, not the last.
Cost surprises
First million tokens are cheap. The bill is not. Without ceilings, fallbacks, and observability, costs run ahead of revenue.
What we doEvery feature gets a cost ceiling before kick-off, enforced in code with alerts at 50%, 80% and 100% and automatic fallback to a cheaper model. You know the bill before you know the feature.
Hallucinations
Naked LLM calls with no retrieval, no citations, no test set. Trust collapses on the first confidently wrong answer.
What we doWe ground answers in your data with retrieval and citations, write the evaluation set before the prompt, and gate every deploy on it. A wrong answer is a failing test, not a support ticket.
No ops
No drift checks, no rollback path, no on-call playbook. When it breaks at 2am, your users find out before you do.
What we doMonitoring, drift checks, a rollback path and an on-call runbook ship with every feature, so when a model changes or an output looks odd, there is a procedure and a person, not a scramble.
// OUR APPROACH
Your product goes in. Production comes out. No demos, no drift, no surprises in between.
Every feature ships against a measurable target: accuracy, latency, cost. If we can't measure it, we don't promise it.
Retrieval, citations and tool-calls wired into your systems. Hallucinations are a bug, caught by evals before users see them.
Cost ceilings, drift alerts, fallback paths and on-call runbooks shipped with every project. Production-grade from day one.

Three phases. No discovery purgatory. Every step has a deliverable.

Kick-off to launch, in under a minute
01 · PLAN
Week 1
We start with the eval set, not the prompt. What does "correct" mean? What does "too expensive" mean? What's the failure mode we cannot ship with? Once we agree on those, we pick the model, the architecture, and the cost envelope. Then we build.
02 · BUILD
Weeks 2–5
Prompts, tools, fallbacks, and telemetry all live in your repo. Every call is logged, every cost is tracked, every output is validated before it reaches a user. By the time we hand it over, your team can review every line and own every decision. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in.
03 · OPERATE
Launch and beyond
Evals gate every deploy. Costs and drift are monitored. Alerts route to a real person on call, not a dashboard nobody opens. When something changes (a model deprecates, a customer reports weird output), there's a runbook waiting for the team picking it up.
// WHAT'S INCLUDED
One fixed price covers the build and the things other studios bill as extras or skip entirely.
On every Authect project
Specific to AI projects
Everything we build (code, prompts, evaluation sets and any fine-tuned weights) is yours. We don't keep your data after handover.
// PRICING
We scope the work on a 15-minute call, send a fixed quote with a confirmed timeline, and start once you approve it. The price doesn't move unless the scope does, and you decide that.
