Use-case discovery
We pick one or two features with clear value and measurable success criteria instead of sprinkling AI everywhere.
Practical AI inside your existing product: features your users actually use, not demos.
Building an impressive AI demo takes an afternoon. Building an AI feature that answers correctly, stays within budget, respects permissions and doesn't break when the model changes is a real engineering job.
I add AI to existing products: search and question answering over your own documents and data, assistants inside your app, and agents that automate multi-step work. I start from the user problem and the data you already have, then pick the simplest approach that works, which is often not a fine-tuned model.
Because I'm a full-stack engineer rather than a data scientist, the result is integrated into your codebase, your database and your deployment process, not a separate prototype that nobody maintains.
What you get
We pick one or two features with clear value and measurable success criteria instead of sprinkling AI everywhere.
Embeddings in PostgreSQL with pgvector, chunking and retrieval tuned for your content, with answers that cite their sources.
Chat, summarization, extraction and classification built into existing screens, respecting your users' roles and data boundaries.
Multi-step automation with tool calling on top of the OpenAI and Claude APIs, with guardrails and human approval where it matters.
Test sets, quality checks and dashboards for cost, latency and failure rates, so you know when a change makes things better or worse.
FAQ
Almost never. Most product features work well with hosted models from OpenAI or Anthropic plus good retrieval over your data. A data science team becomes useful much later, if at all.
By choosing the right model per task, caching, limiting context to relevant data and tracking cost per request from day one.
Retrieval is scoped to each user's permissions, and the major API providers don't train on API data by default. We review data handling against your compliance needs before launch.
