Put AI inside the products you already run

AI Integration & Custom AI Development

AI built into your existing software, or custom models and applications tuned to your data. Practical AI that runs in production, never just in a slide deck.

AI where it moves a number, inside the product you already run.

The model is 5% of the work. The product is the other 95%.

Calling an AI model is easy. Building a product that uses it well is not. The value lives in the software around it: the data that grounds it, the guardrails, the evaluations, and the cost controls.

We add AI to the features that genuinely benefit, ship them into your existing codebase and UI, and instrument them so you can see the lift.

Where it moves a metric

We add AI to the features where it lifts a real number, like activation, retention, or efficiency. Never just for the badge.

Into your stack, not around it

AI features ship inside your existing product and UI, where your users already are.

Measured and controlled

Instrumented so you can see the lift, with guardrails and cost controls in place.

What changes once it is running

The difference shows up in operations. Here's what's true on the Monday after launch.

The feature lands where users already areAI arrives inside the product people already open, so there's no separate tool to drive adoption for.
No rebuild to get thereFeatures ship into your existing codebase and interface rather than alongside them.
You can prove the liftMeasured from the first release, so "did it work?" always has an answer.
You're not married to one modelCommercial or open-weight, swapped when the economics or the quality changes.
Cost has a ceilingBudgets, caching, and routing are part of the build, so growing usage never turns into a surprise bill.
Quality is measured, never assumedEvaluations run against real cases, so a regression shows up before your users find it.

Where this lands hardest

The four situations this practice is asked for most often, and what it is actually doing in each.

SaaS platformsAn assistant, a summarizer, or a drafting step added to a product that already has users and a roadmap.
Document-heavy operationsExtraction and classification wired into the workflow that already handles the paperwork.
Commerce and marketplacesPersonalization and recommendations trained on your catalog and your own customer behavior.
Planning and forecastingDemand, revenue, and capacity models feeding the screens your team already plans from.

What it connects to

It works inside the stack you already run. These are the connections this practice is built against most often.

Your existing codebaseFeatures are written into the app you already ship, in the stack it is already written in.
Commercial model APIsThe leading hosted models, behind an interface that lets you change your mind later.
Open-weight modelsSelf-hosted where data residency, cost at volume, or latency makes it the better call.
Vector and search storesRetrieval over your own content, so answers are grounded in what you actually hold.
Product analyticsThe AI features report into the same funnel as everything else, with no separate dashboard to check.
Billing and usage meteringConsumption tracked per customer where the feature needs to be priced or capped.

Into your stack, not around it

AI features built into your existing codebase and UI, model-agnostic and measured, so the value shows up where your users already are.

How an engagement runs

Four stages, in order, and exactly what happens in each.

Week 1Pick the metricWe choose the feature by the number it should move, and agree how we will read that number afterwards.
Weeks 2-3Prototype against real dataBuilt on your content rather than a sample, so the quality you see is the quality you will get.
Weeks 4-6Ship into the productInto your codebase and interface, with guardrails, evaluations, and cost controls in place from the first release.
OngoingMeasure and tuneEvaluations and product analytics decide what changes next, including whether the model itself should.

You recharge, you don't rebuild

A better model goes into the plant you already have

We build model-agnostic, pick the right model for each feature, and keep you free to switch as providers and prices change, all without rewriting the product it lives in.

6 things that ship with it

An AI feature is easy to demo and hard to keep. These six things separate the two: the capability itself, the metric it was built to move, and the guardrails, measurement, and cost controls that decide whether it's still worth running in six months.

  • AI features inside your existing product
  • Capabilities that move a real metric
  • Model-agnostic implementation
  • Guardrails, validation, and review
  • Instrumentation to measure the lift
  • Cost controls that keep it affordable

Why bring this to us

Six commitments, each one something we actually do differently.

We treat the model as five percentThe product around it is the real work, and it's where AI integrations succeed or quietly fail.
We ship into your stackYour repository, your framework, your deploy pipeline. Nothing arrives as a service you have to bolt on.
We stay model-agnosticThe interface is ours, the model is a choice, and that choice stays reversible.
We instrument before we launchA feature nobody measured is a feature nobody can defend at the next budget meeting.
We treat cost as a design constraintCaching, routing, and spending caps are designed into the build, long before the first invoice arrives.
We evaluate against real casesRegression tests for AI behavior, so quality is something you watch instead of something you hope for.

What people ask before they hand work over

Do we need to rebuild our product to add AI?

No. We integrate AI features into your existing codebase and UI, so the capability shows up where your users already are, without a rewrite.

Where should we add AI first?

Wherever it moves a metric you care about: activation, retention, support deflection, time saved. We start with the feature where the lift is real and measurable.

Are we locked into one AI provider?

No. We build model-agnostic, pick the right model for each feature, and keep you free to switch as providers and prices change.

How do we know it's actually helping?

Because we measure it. Each feature is tracked against the metric it's meant to move, so you can see the lift instead of assuming it.

The other eight practices

One senior team across the whole lifecycle, so the neighboring practice is a colleague, never another procurement exercise.
