Application Development · AI Application Studio
Human-led. Agent-assisted. Production-focused.
For focused applications that can be designed, built and validated within a structured 60-to-90-day program. Our engineers use agent-assisted development inside guardrails and highly-trained context — the speed of AI application development with the discipline of real product engineering. Many focused applications reach a working release in approximately eight weeks, followed by production hardening, documentation and optimization during the final month.
How a Studio application fits together: a focused interface, a governed agent layer, and safe connections into the systems where work already happens.
Three Studio Offerings
Build
Turn a spreadsheet, notebook or manual process into a usable application.
Focused internal applications and analytical tools, built on the frameworks your data team already knows:
- Shiny app development (R and Python)
- Streamlit app development
- Gradio app development and ML model interfaces
- Jupyter notebooks productionized into web apps
- Quarto reporting, dashboards and technical publishing
- Data exploration, document processing and decision-support tools
- Model testing interfaces and research tools
Integrate
Connect trusted AI capabilities to the systems where work already happens.
AI wired into your existing applications and business systems:
- Embedded application chat and context-aware copilots
- CRM, ERP and data-platform connectors
- APIs, action tools and application-to-application workflows
- Knowledge retrieval and RAG application development
- Agent-assisted customer and employee experiences
- Human escalation and approval flows
Optimize
Keep your application accurate, governed and economically sustainable.
Ongoing application and AI support after launch:
- Prompt and model optimization
- Context and retrieval improvements
- Guardrail updates and evaluation monitoring
- Cost and latency optimization
- Application enhancements and security updates
- Model-provider changes and production troubleshooting
The 60-to-90-Day Program
When the Eight-Week Build Applies
An application qualifies for the accelerated program when:
- There is one clearly defined primary workflow
- Required data is available
- The first release has a controlled user group
- The project requires only a limited number of integrations
- You provide an accountable product owner
- Compliance and security reviews begin during discovery
- The initial version does not attempt to replace an entire enterprise platform
Projects that don’t meet these conditions move into the Dedicated Product Engineering track — same engineers, sustained capacity.
Responsible AI Controls
Every AI application we ship includes permissions and role-based access, context boundaries, evaluations against representative data, human approval flows for consequential actions, full logging and audit trails, and model governance so provider or model changes don’t break your application. Agents act on behalf of your applications — inside guardrails, never around them.
Proof, Not Promises
- AI-powered talent & employer chatbot with human escalation — embedded chat with approval flows
- AI-powered legal knowledgebase bot — governed knowledge retrieval in production
- AI-powered service review system with live chat & email integration — customer-facing AI with real integrations
- Automating financial data processing with Gemini, DocAI & Python CRM integration — AI-powered document processing connected to business systems
Pricing Guidance
- Build — fixed-scope rapid project; starting price determined after a short application assessment
- Integrate — fixed-scope project priced by integrations and actions
- Production agentic applications — starting around $50,000 for applications with multiple systems, production controls and governed agent actions
- Optimize — monthly support and improvement subscription
