AI BUILD STUDIO - EST. 2026

Bring us the problem.We'll build the AI.

Ops, support, and data leaders bring us a workflow that burns time or money. We design, build, and run the AI system that fixes it. We stay on the hook for results after launch. Working products, not research papers.

Founder-led, nothing outsourced. Every number is measured against a pre-launch baseline; the method behind each is in the case studies.

USE CASES - WHAT WE BUILD

What we work on.

Four shapes of AI problem we take end-to-end: strategy, build, deploy, operate. If your problem looks AI-shaped, we should talk.

01 / 04

Data agents

Hand off the work that moves between your systems, without adding headcount. Agents connect to your databases, tools, and SaaS apps, act on what they find, and escalate to a human where it counts.

e.g. nightly invoice reconciliation across three systems
02 / 04

AI insights from your data

Find out what your customers and employees are actually telling you. We process surveys, transcripts, tickets, and calls at scale, then hand stakeholders the briefs and dashboards they'll actually read.

e.g. 80,000 survey responses -> a 6-page leadership brief
03 / 04

Open-source model infrastructure

Cut your model bill and keep your data inside your own walls. We deploy and run open-weights models on your infrastructure, with routing, autoscaling, and monitoring included.

e.g. Qwen3.5 in production under $0.40 / M tokens, blended
04 / 04

Anything else AI-shaped

Most problems don't fit a neat category. If it can be solved, or made meaningfully better, with AI, that's our favorite kind of project.

e.g. contract triage, demand forecasting, doc-heavy back office
PROCESS - HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS

What happens after you email us.

No discovery-call theater, no open-ended hourly billing. Four steps, each with a fixed shape and a concrete deliverable.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    Free · 45 min

    You describe the problem. We tell you honestly whether AI fixes it, and roughly what that costs.

    You get: a written feasibility read.

  2. 02

    Discovery & data audit

    2 weeks · fixed fee

    We look at your data, systems, and constraints before promising anything.

    You get: an architecture, an eval plan, a fixed quote.

  3. 03

    Build to production

    8–12 weeks · fixed scope

    We ship into your infrastructure, with evals gating every release.

    You get: a working system, demoed to you weekly.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Monthly · cancel anytime

    Versioning, regressions, capacity planning, cost control. Or a full hand-off package if you would rather run it yourself.

    You get: weekly reports your CFO will actually read.

If a pilot doesn't deliver, you're out a two-week discovery fee — not six months and a rebuild. That's the deal.

Good fit: you have a real workflow that costs you money and the data it runs on. Bad fit: you want a strategy deck about AI. We don't write those.

SERVICES - WHAT WE SHIP

End-to-end, from first call to ongoing operations.

Every engagement runs the same way: a scoping call, a fixed-scope build measured in weeks, then production with us on the hook for uptime, cost, and quality.

Not sure which of these you need? That's what the scoping call is for.

Talk to something we built.

The voice agent on this site handles support calls in Hindi, Tamil, and English, switching mid-sentence when the caller does. It answers in under a second and hands off to a human when it should.

WRITING - FROM THE LAB

Notes from active engagements.

The receipts behind the numbers we quote. Short, technical write-ups of what we're shipping, including the parts that took us longer than they should have.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The questions buyers actually ask.

Q1What does a pilot cost?

The scoping call is free. Discovery runs two weeks at a fixed fee quoted up front; build phases are fixed-scope and quoted after discovery — typically low-to-mid five figures depending on integrations. You have the exact number before anything starts, and never an open-ended hourly bill.

Q2Who owns the IP, the models, and the data?

You do. Code lands in your repos, models and weights live in your accounts, and your data never has to leave your infrastructure. Sovereign deployment is one of our core services, not an add-on.

Q3What if the AI isn't accurate enough?

We agree on the accuracy bar during discovery and build the evals before the features. A system that fails its evals doesn't act; it escalates to a human. And if we don't believe we can hit the bar, we say so at the scoping call and you've spent nothing.

Q4Can it run entirely inside our infrastructure?

Yes. VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped. Case study 02 covers exactly this: open-weights models operated inside the client perimeter with zero bytes of egress.

Q5Do you replace our team or work with them?

Work with them. Your engineers get the repos, the runbooks, and a weekly working session. Hand-off is a standard deliverable, not an exit fee.

Q6How fast until something is live?

Two weeks to a validated plan. A production system typically follows in 8–12 weeks; the support-analytics build in case study 01 took 14 weeks end to end.

Have a different question? Ask a founder on the free scoping call — you get a straight answer either way.
