Custom AI Development Built Around Your Workflow
We scope, build, and ship production AI agents, RAG, and automation that plug into the tools your team already uses, not a generic demo.

Answers in brief
- What it is
- Custom AI development means building AI features around your specific workflow, data, and systems, instead of forcing your process into an off-the-shelf product. Scope can include agents, RAG, and automation.
- Who it is for
- SMBs and founders who have a concrete use case and existing systems to integrate with, and who want production-grade software they own outright rather than a locked-in SaaS subscription.
- Cost
- Scope-based: we quote against your specific use case after a short discovery call rather than from a fixed price list, so you only pay for what you actually need.
- Timeline
- Most engagements reach a first production milestone within a 45-day delivery window once scope is confirmed, with weekly check-ins along the way.
- Risks
- The main risks are unclear data readiness and undefined success metrics. We de-risk both in a discovery call by agreeing on an evaluation target and a measurable first milestone before any build starts.

Where and how we deliver
Our engineering team is based in Hangzhou and led by ex-Alibaba senior engineers who have shipped 20+ projects for 10+ clients.
We collaborate with US and EU teams on a remote schedule, with a 24-hour response commitment on weekdays so timezone gaps never stall a build.
Project communication, source control, and handover documentation stay in English, so distributed stakeholders can follow progress without friction.
Frequently asked questions
What does custom AI development include? +
It covers scoping, data preparation, model and tooling selection, building the agent or RAG pipeline, evaluation, and handover with source code and documentation so your team can run and extend it.
How is this different from buying an off-the-shelf AI tool? +
Off-the-shelf tools fit a generic process; custom development fits your data, systems, and edge cases. You own the code and can change vendors or models later without rebuilding from scratch.
Do we own the source code? +
Yes. You own the source code, deployment configuration, and documentation from handover, with no vendor lock-in on the application layer we build for you.
How do you measure whether the AI actually works? +
We agree on an evaluation set and target metrics during scoping, then measure against them from the first sprint so accuracy is tracked rather than assumed.
What does the engagement timeline look like? +
Most engagements reach a first production milestone within a 45-day delivery window after scope is confirmed, with weekly progress check-ins throughout.
How do we get started? +
