# Machine Learning Development Services > Machine learning development: forecasting, recommendations, NLP and computer vision models, built on your data, monitored in production and owned by you. Source: https://authect.com/services/machine-learning Turn the data your business already collects into models that predict, recommend, detect and automate, built and run by a founder-led team with a senior engineer on every project. ## What you get with Authect's machine learning development Machine learning is at its best on questions your data can answer better than a rule of thumb: **which customers are about to leave, how much stock to order, which transaction looks wrong**. We help you find those questions, then build models that answer them reliably, inside the tools your team already uses. You work directly with the founders and a senior engineer who handle the whole path: **data preparation, modelling, evaluation, deployment and monitoring**. We explain how each model reaches its results in terms your team can act on, and we measure it against the way you work today, so you know whether it's really helping. Models, training code and data pipelines live in **your own accounts from day one**, documented so your team can retrain and extend them without us. ## Our machine learning development services From a single forecasting model to a full set of ML features inside your product, we cover the techniques most business problems need. ### Custom ML model development Classification, regression, forecasting and ranking models trained on your data, chosen for accuracy and for how easily your team can understand and maintain them. ### Conversational AI and chatbots Assistants that understand what customers and staff mean, answer from your knowledge base and act on your systems, with a clear route to a person. [Conversational AI](https://authect.com/services/conversational-ai) ### Intelligent automation Workflows where models make the routine judgement calls, such as routing, approving or flagging, and people handle the exceptions. [Intelligent automation](https://authect.com/services/intelligent-automation) ### Natural language processing Models that classify, extract and summarise text from emails, tickets, reviews and documents, in the languages your customers use. ### Deep learning and neural networks Neural networks for problems simpler models can't handle well, such as complex signals, sequences and unstructured data, trained and tuned for your use case. ### Computer vision Models that detect objects, inspect products, read documents and analyse video, running in the cloud or on devices close to where images are captured. > Solve a hard business problem with a model built on your own data.

We check data quality and gaps before promising anything. 2. **Baseline and experiments**: We start with a simple baseline, then test more advanced models against it on held-out data, so every gain in accuracy is real and worth its complexity. 3. **Evaluation with your team**: We walk through results, errors and edge cases with the people who'll use the model, and agree the thresholds and fallbacks before anything goes live. 4. **Deployment and integration**: The model goes into production behind an API or inside your product, with versioning, access controls and the logging needed to trace every prediction. 5. **Monitoring and retraining**: We watch accuracy and data drift in production and retrain on fresh data on a schedule, or sooner when the world your model learned from changes. ## Tools and frameworks we build ML with Proven, open tools your team can hire for and maintain, running in the cloud of your choice. ### Languages and libraries Python with pandas, NumPy and Polars for data work, and scikit-learn, XGBoost and LightGBM for the classic models that solve most business problems. ### Deep learning PyTorch and TensorFlow for neural networks, and pretrained models from the open-source community that we fine-tune on your data. ### Language and vision models Large language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and open-source families for text tasks, and vision models for detection, segmentation and document reading. ### Data pipelines SQL, dbt and orchestration tools such as Airflow or Dagster, feeding clean, versioned data from your warehouse or lake into training and prediction. ### Experiment tracking and MLOps MLflow or Weights & Biases for tracking experiments, model registries for versioning, and CI pipelines that test and deploy models like any other code. ### Cloud and serving AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, with models served through containers, serverless endpoints or on edge devices, depending on latency and cost needs. ## Machine learning FAQs ### What is machine learning development? Machine learning development is building models that learn from your data to predict, recommend, detect and automate. Examples include forecasting demand, spotting customers who are about to leave, flagging suspicious transactions and reading documents or images. We handle the whole path, from data preparation and modelling to evaluation, deployment and monitoring, so the model runs inside the tools your team already uses. ### How do we know if our problem suits machine learning? It suits machine learning if your data can answer the question better than a rule of thumb. In a problem and data review with the founders, we define the decision the model will support, how it will be measured and what data exists, and check quality and gaps before promising anything. We then test models against a simple baseline, so you know whether the extra complexity pays off. ### How long does it take to build a machine learning model? It depends on the problem and the state of your data. We start with a simple baseline, test more advanced models against it, evaluate the results with your team and then deploy and monitor. The baseline tells you early whether the idea is worth pursuing; getting to production takes longer, depending on the integrations and the thresholds and fallbacks you need. ### How much does machine learning development cost? It depends on scope: the problem, how much data preparation is needed, the integrations and how the model is served and monitored. We quote each project individually after a free scoping conversation with the founders, once we've looked at the data you have. For a rough first idea of the development side, try the software development cost calculator on our website. ### How do you keep models accurate after launch? We monitor accuracy and data drift in production and retrain on fresh data on a schedule, or sooner when the world your model learned from changes. Every model is versioned, with access controls and the logging needed to trace each prediction, and models are tested and deployed through CI pipelines like any other code, so accuracy doesn't quietly slip after launch. ### Do we own the models and data pipelines? Yes. Models, training code and data pipelines live in your own accounts from day one, documented so your team can retrain and extend them without us. We build with proven, open tools your team can hire for, such as Python, scikit-learn, PyTorch and MLflow, on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
