Overview

What this service is

We design AI features around real user journeys: support resolution, lead qualification, document workflows, operator copilots, and internal knowledge search.

Our delivery is production-first: safe tool access, permission-aware retrieval, eval tests, monitoring, and fallback behavior so users aren’t blocked when AI is uncertain.

You get source code + handoff notes and a system your team can extend safely as models, prompts, and content evolve.

Standard

AI delivery standard

Quality and safety practices we ship with AI builds so the system stays measurable, maintainable, and production-ready.

Logging + tracing

Conversation and tool traces with request IDs, error visibility, and debug-friendly runbooks.

Guardrails + safety

Tool allowlists, PII-safe patterns, refusal behavior, and escalation routes for edge cases.

Evals + regression tests

Golden queries, scorecards, and regression checks so quality improves over time instead of drifting.

Cost + latency controls

Caching, prompt discipline, retrieval tuning, and routing so your app stays fast and predictable at scale.

Documentation + handoff

Architecture notes, environment setup, and next-step roadmap so your team can iterate safely after launch.

Security-first integration

Secrets isolation, role-based access, audit-friendly actions, and minimal data retention by design.

Benefits

What you get

Model-agnostic delivery (OpenAI, Claude, Bedrock)

AI workflow automation services German teams use for tickets, CRM, and ops

RAG knowledge bases with citations and permission-aware retrieval

Tool calling + approval gates for safe actions

Document parsing & structured extraction (PDFs, forms, emails)

Voice + vision features when useful

Evaluation, monitoring, and iteration (quality improves over time)

Features

What we deliver

Agents and copilots

Workflow-first assistants that can answer, route, and act via tools—shipped with guardrails and measurable quality.

RAG Knowledge Bases

Retrieval systems that answer from your docs with citations, excerpts, and permission-aware access when required.

Workflow automation and integrations

Automate ops and support tasks using structured steps, approvals, retries, and audit-friendly logs.

Document Intelligence

Extract data from PDFs, forms, and unstructured content—normalize it into clean JSON your systems can use.

Voice & Vision

Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and image understanding for voice notes, call summaries, or visual inputs.

Evals, monitoring, and safety layer

Evals, regression tests, red-team scenarios, and analytics so accuracy improves over time and failures are visible.

Proof

Built for production

Security-first integrations

Tool allowlists, RBAC alignment, audit logs, and permission-aware retrieval patterns—built to reduce leakage and unsafe actions.

Latency + cost optimisation

Caching, streaming, retrieval tuning, and model routing so production usage stays fast and cost-aware.

Enterprise-ready operations

Tracing, evals, feedback loops, and governance controls so quality improves over time and failures are visible.

Use Cases

Who this is for

AI Customer Service Automation

Grounded answers from your docs and tickets, deflection where safe, and clean human handoff when confidence is low.

Internal Knowledge

Search + Q&A across SOPs, wikis, and docs so teams find answers fast—with citations and access control.

Ops Automation

Summaries, routing, tagging, and structured extraction that reduce manual work while keeping reviews in the loop.

Product Intelligence

Natural language queries over product data, dashboards, and events—turning metrics into decisions.

AI Case Examples

Micro case studies (anonymous)

A few safe examples of outcomes we build for real operations—no client names, just results.

Secure Mobile Solution in Australian Defence Ecosystem

Problem: Secure data workflows were required in a regulated environment with strict access controls.

Solution: Hardened architecture with strict auth, encrypted storage, and audit-friendly engineering patterns.

Outcome: Deployed securely within a regulated ecosystem with clear handoff and operational guidance.

AI Knowledge Base Across 2,000+ Pages

Problem: Teams needed fast answers across long PDFs, but search was slow and results were inconsistent.

Solution: RAG with hybrid retrieval and reranking, plus grounded answers and safer fallback behavior.

Outcome: Reliable answers with <10s response times and measurable improvements on real queries.

Ops Automation with AI + n8n

Problem: Manual approvals and CRM syncing created delays and data inconsistencies across tools.

Solution: Event-driven automation with validation gates and AI-assisted classification where it improved routing.

Outcome: Reduced manual workload significantly with more reliable workflows and operator visibility.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Timeline depends on scope. MVPs typically take 8-12 weeks, while larger projects can take 4-6 months. We provide detailed timelines during the estimate phase.

We offer both fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing. Fixed-price works best for well-defined projects, while T&M is ideal for evolving requirements.

Yes, we offer maintenance packages including bug fixes, security updates, and feature enhancements after launch.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (EU)

For Germany/EU delivery, we keep GDPR-first patterns: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and explicit access boundaries.

We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement pragmatic retention/deletion flows when needed.

  • GDPR-first architecture patterns (generic, no legal claims)
  • DPA template available on request
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • Least-privilege access and safe logging defaults
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries

Timezone & Collaboration (EU)

We align to EU working hours with CET-friendly collaboration windows and async progress updates.

We keep delivery predictable: weekly milestones, documented decisions, and clear scope control.

  • EU overlap with CET-friendly windows
  • Async-first delivery with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear change control to avoid surprises
  • Escalation path for blockers and risks

Engagement & Procurement (EU)

We support procurement-friendly engagements with clear scopes, milestone plans, and documentation that stakeholders can review.

For EU teams, we can structure invoices and milestones for EUR-based engagements where appropriate.

  • EUR-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Vendor onboarding documentation on request
  • Transparent change control and approvals

Security & Quality (EU)

We prioritise reliability: reviewable PRs, predictable releases, and tests that protect critical paths.

Performance budgets and clear release discipline keep the product stable as it grows.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
