AI-First Startups

Ship AI products,
not AI demos.

AI-first startups need engineers who understand both the model and the system around it — retrieval, evaluation, observability, cost. We ship production AI products with real guardrails, real evals, and real metrics. Not Streamlit demos that break in front of investors.

60-70% manual work reductions across LLM pipelines

What we ship

For AI-First Startups.

Core deliverables we have shipped before in this vertical — not templates, real systems with runbooks.

Agentic workflow architectures

Multi-step agent systems with tool use, memory, and recovery — production-hardened.

RAG + retrieval pipelines

Vector + lexical hybrid retrieval with re-ranking, citations, and chunking strategies tuned to your data.

Evaluation infrastructure

Eval suites, regression tests, and human-feedback loops integrated into CI/CD.

Cost + latency observability

Per-request cost tracking, prompt versioning, and model-routing dashboards.

Compliance & data

Built right.
From day one.

Compliance is an architectural concern, not a checkbox. We scope the regulatory surface before writing a line of code — so you are not retrofitting controls at Series A.

Data isolation

No customer data leaks across tenants in vector stores or LLM call traces.
