AI systems

Assistants grounded in your documents, document intelligence, speech-to-text and LLM features engineered for cost and reliability.

AI features that survive production: evaluated, monitored and priced sanely.

Most AI features fail for boring reasons: nobody measured them, nobody set a budget, and there was no plan for when the model is wrong. We build the parts that make AI work after the demo.

What you get

  • An evaluation set built from your real data before we pick a model
  • Model routing, caching and prompt design that keep costs predictable
  • Guardrails, fallbacks and observability so failures are visible and contained
  • Vendor-neutral architecture: Claude, OpenAI or open-weight models hosted privately

Typical projects

  • Assistants that answer from your documents (retrieval-augmented generation)
  • Document extraction and classification pipelines
  • Speech-to-text, meeting intelligence and transcription at scale
  • AI features inside existing products

Proof

On one production document pipeline we reduced LLM spend by 99% while quality, measured on a fixed evaluation set, went up. A transcription pipeline was rebuilt to run 30 times faster. Both are documented in our insights.

    Voice Cloning Needs Consent, Not Just a Licence

    A voice can be cloned from five seconds of audio. The hard part is consent: what a donator must agree to, what the AI Act makes you disclose, and which records answer the question later.

    Who Owns an AI-Assisted Manuscript in the EU?

    EU copyright protects works of human authorship, so a machine-only manuscript may have no owner at all. The practical question is what record proves your contribution, and what Article 50 asks you to disclose.
