AI & Generative AI Engineering

Generative AI that works in production, not just in a demo

We build LLM-powered products and workflows around your data and processes, with the evaluation, guardrails and monitoring needed to trust them in front of customers and staff.

Capabilities

What we deliver

RAG & knowledge assistants

Retrieval-augmented systems over your documents and databases, with citations, access control and measurable answer quality.

AI agents & workflow automation

Tool-using agents that handle multi-step tasks such as triage, research, data entry and reporting, with human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

Copilots in your product

Embedded assistants, summarisation, search and content features designed around real user journeys.

Document & data intelligence

Extraction, classification and understanding of contracts, invoices, forms, emails and call transcripts.

Evaluation & safety

Test sets, automated evals, prompt and model regression checks, red-teaming and guardrails.

LLMOps & cost control

Model routing, caching, tracing, latency and spend monitoring across hosted and self-hosted models.

Process

How we work together

  1. 1

    Discover

    We learn your goals, users and constraints, and define what success looks like.

  2. 2

    Design

    Architecture, UX and a delivery plan, with risks surfaced early.

  3. 3

    Build

    Iterative delivery in short cycles with demos, automated tests and CI from the start.

  4. 4

    Launch

    Staged rollouts, monitoring and runbooks so go-live is uneventful.

  5. 5

    Evolve

    Measure, learn and improve, with ongoing engineering support as you grow.

FAQ

Questions about ai & generative ai engineering

What is the difference between RAG and fine-tuning?

RAG gives a model access to your up-to-date knowledge at query time, while fine-tuning changes the model's behaviour or style through additional training. Many business use cases are best served by RAG first, with fine-tuning added where it measurably helps.

Can you keep our data private?

Yes. We can use providers with enterprise data-protection terms, deploy in your own cloud account, or run open models on your infrastructure, depending on your requirements.

How do you stop an AI system from making things up?

We ground answers in your data, require citations, add validation and guardrails, and measure hallucination rates with automated evaluations before and after release.

Which models do you use?

We are model-agnostic and select between leading hosted models and open-weight models based on quality, latency, cost and data requirements for each task.
