Pre-vetted AI engineers + managed infrastructure for RAG, fine-tuning, evaluation and inference. Land production AI in weeks, not quarters โ without rebuilding the plumbing every project.

Your team can wire up an LLM API call in an afternoon. Getting that demo to handle a hundred edge cases, run within latency budget, stay within token budget, and not hallucinate when a customer asks an off-script question โ that's where most AI roadmaps stall.
Build AI bundles the two missing pieces: senior AI engineers who've shipped this before, and managed infrastructure for the parts you don't want to re-invent (vector storage, eval harnesses, observability, prompt versioning, cost monitoring).
Three layers โ staffed and managed together so nothing falls between the cracks.
Managed ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector storage, and hybrid retrieval โ across pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant.
Dataset curation, LoRA / full fine-tuning, eval-guarded training runs, and model registry โ for open-source and proprietary models.
LLM-as-judge, rubric grading, regression tests, A/B testing โ wired into your CI so prompts ship like code.
Per-request latency, token usage, model attribution, cost drift alerts โ surfaced to product and finance both.
Prompts as code โ versioned, reviewed, rolled back if an eval regresses. No more "who changed the prompt at 2am?"
Senior AI engineers who've shipped LLM products before โ embedded in your team, owning the build end-to-end.
Switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-source models per route โ without rewrites. Optimize cost vs quality.
PII redaction, jailbreak filters, content moderation, refusal rules โ configurable per route, audited per request.
Run the entire stack in your VPC if data residency or compliance requires it. SOC 2 + ISO 27001 aligned.
Knowledge-grounded chat for support, sales, internal Q&A โ with citations, eval, and cost controls from day one.
Replace keyword search with intent-aware retrieval across documents, products, code, or tickets.
Structured data out of invoices, contracts, forms, and PDFs โ with confidence scoring and human-in-the-loop fallback.
Multi-step agentic workflows with deterministic guardrails โ for ops automation, ticket routing, or workflow generation.
Take an open-source base model, fine-tune on your domain, ship behind your existing API. We own the training pipeline.
If you already have AI in production but no rigorous eval, we drop in a harness that runs in CI and catches regressions.
One paid week: AI engineer maps your use case, picks a stack, and proposes a scoped pilot with measurable success criteria.
Weeks 2โ3: working pipeline running on managed infra. Eval harness wired in. Cost & latency budgets locked.
Week 4: guardrails, observability, fallbacks, error handling, A/B routing. Ready to take real traffic.
Embedded AI engineer continues to own evals, prompts, and improvements โ or hand over to your team with a documented playbook.
We don't pre-commit you to one provider or framework. The right tool depends on the workload.
Plenty of consultancies will sell you an AI workshop. We staff the build with engineers who've personally shipped LLM products at scale โ and back the build with infrastructure we maintain, not slideware we'll set up later.
Engagements are scoped to a working production feature โ not "we'll bill weekly until you say stop."
RAG, eval, observability, prompt versioning โ managed infrastructure, not a separate vendor procurement cycle.
Eval, monitoring, and guardrails are baked into v1 โ not retrofitted after the demo wins applause and breaks in prod.
Every pipeline ships with runbooks, eval suites, and decision logs โ so your team can own it after we leave.
What founders and engineering leaders ask before they commit a quarter to AI.
Book a Scoping Call โBoth. The platform (managed RAG, eval, observability, prompt versioning) is the product. AI engineers who use the platform to ship features inside your team are the service. Most customers buy them together; you can also buy just one.
No. Build AI is provider-agnostic โ you can route per-feature between OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source, or your own fine-tunes. We help you pick based on cost, latency, and eval scores.
Yes. The default model is embedded engineering โ your repo, your CI, your conventions. The Build AI infrastructure runs in your cloud (or ours) and exposes clean APIs.
Self-hostable in your VPC if needed. We're SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 aligned. We can also restrict which providers handle which data per route to satisfy regional rules.
Two components: a flat monthly platform fee (RAG / eval / observability infrastructure) starting at $1,500/mo, plus AI engineer time billed under our standard talent rates. Discovery is a flat $5,000 paid sprint credited against engagement if you proceed.
You own all code, prompts, eval suites, and fine-tuned models. The platform can be self-hosted or migrated to your stack. We do clean handovers; no vendor lock-in.
30-minute scoping call. Discovery sprint kicks off the next week. Prototype to prod by week four.
