AI Engineering

AI that survives production

Demos are easy. What breaks in month three is the data pipeline, the permission model somebody assumed would hold, the absence of any way to tell whether quality dropped, and a bill nobody forecast. That is the work we take on.

AI Integrations

A chat box bolted onto a product gets used twice. What earns its place is a model with real context and one narrow job, sitting inside a workflow people already follow.

Retrieval over your own content

Documents, tickets, policies and records made searchable in natural language, with answers that cite their sources so they can be checked.

Structured extraction

Turning CVs, job descriptions, invoices and free-form submissions into validated structured data your systems can act on.

Drafting & summarisation

First drafts of job specs, review summaries and reports, placed where the work already happens, with a human keeping the final say.

Classification & routing

Tagging, deduplication and triage of incoming volume, with confidence thresholds that hand the uncertain cases to a person.

02

MCP Servers & Agent Skills

MCP is how an assistant reaches a real system instead of inventing an answer. We build the server in between, and we spend as much time on what it refuses to do as on what it allows.

MCP servers for your systems

A typed tool interface over your database, API or internal service, so assistants can query and act through a contract you control, rather than screen-scraping or a shared admin password.

Skills that encode your procedures

Packaged instructions for recurring work: how your team runs a review cycle, prepares a compensation proposal or triages a candidate pipeline. The assistant then follows your method rather than a generic one.

Permissions, limits and audit

Read-only by default, scoped credentials, rate limits and a log of every call. An agent should not be able to do anything the person behind it could not do themselves.

Client-side setup

Wiring the result into the tools your team actually uses, plus the documentation that makes it maintainable once we hand it over.

03

AI Pipelines

A prompt that works once in a playground is a screenshot. Running it nightly against real volume, with failures handled and costs bounded, is a different piece of engineering.

Orchestration

Multi-step flows with branching, retries, partial failure handling and idempotency, so a rerun does not duplicate work or corrupt state.

Evaluation

Test sets and scoring built before rollout, so changing a prompt or a model is a measured decision instead of a hunch.

Observability

Tracing at each step, with inputs and outputs retained under your retention policy, because debugging a bad answer means seeing what the model was given.

Cost control

Caching, model routing by task difficulty, batching and hard budget ceilings, with per-feature cost reporting so spend stays attributable.

Request trace Production, last 24 hours
Request trace with span timings, retrieved sources, quality evaluation, cost and policy results
One request, opened up: how long each step took, which sources the model was given, what the evaluation scored it, and what it cost. Without this view, a complaint about a bad answer is unfalsifiable.

When we say no

A good share of what arrives labelled as an AI problem turns out to be a reporting gap, dirty data, or a process nobody follows. Put a model on top of that and you get wrong answers delivered with more confidence.

When that is what we find, we will tell you and suggest the unexciting fix. It costs you less and it holds up.

Got something specific in mind?

Describe what the system should do and what it would need to read. You will get an approach, the risks worth knowing about up front, and a cost range that accounts for traffic rather than a pilot.
