AI features that survive production
Where we sit in our own network
This is the general AI-development shop in a network of specialists: ecommerce implementations live at ecommerceai.org, AI-automation career guidance athub.aiautomation.engineer, and the Austin scene map at atxai.io. If your project is none of those specifics — a product feature, an internal system, an integration — it lands here.
First questions
What kind of AI development do you do?
Custom AI features and systems for businesses: LLM-powered product features (summarization, extraction, assistants scoped to your data), internal automations with review gates, retrieval over your documents done properly, and integration work — wiring models into the systems you already run, including MCP-based tool integration. What we do not do: research-grade model training, or ship anything customer-facing without human review gates and logging.
Do we need to be in Austin?
No — Austin is home base and the flag on the domain, not a service boundary; engagements run remote-first with the same review-gated process either way. Austin-local does buy you working sessions in person and a team that shows up at the same meetups your engineers attend — our sister site atxai.io maps that scene.
What does an engagement cost and how does it start?
Fixed-scope projects quoted after a free scoping call: bring the workflow or feature idea and the systems it touches, and you get a written scope with deliverables, review gates, and handover terms — or an honest "an off-the-shelf tool covers this; here is which." Production AI is mostly disciplined engineering, and we price it like engineering, not like magic.
