Generative AI development services for enterprises

Our generative AI development services turn slow, document-heavy workflows into systems your team uses every day, built on OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and open-weight models. Each build starts from a defined business problem and the workflow it affects.

Definition

What generative AI development services cover

Most GenAI engineering time goes into integration and evaluation, since model access is the simplest part of the build.

What are generative AI development services?
Generative AI development services cover building software that uses large language, image or speech models to create text, answers, images or code from a company's own data and workflows. The work spans model choice, retrieval, fine-tuning, agents, integration with existing systems, and the monitoring that keeps output quality and cost in check.
What we offer

Generative AI solutions we build

We take GenAI from a first proof of concept to production inside the systems your business already depends on.

Model replication

Move a capability from a third-party API to a local model, cutting API limits and availability risk and keeping data private.

Generative AI integration

We wire LLMs, agents, recommendation engines and document intelligence into your existing software, as part of our wider AI development services.

Robotic process automation

AI bots take over data entry, report generation, customer onboarding and document handling for your operations teams.

NLP integration

We add software that understands and replies in human language, in text or speech. Built for staff, it becomes one of our enterprise copilots.

Monitoring and optimisation

We track accuracy, response quality, latency, usage and cost in production, and keep tuning the system as usage grows.

AI models

Models and platforms we work with

We pick per use case on accuracy, context, multimodality, latency, security and cost, and often combine several.

OpenAI GPT

Strong at reasoning, logic and code, with smaller variants when latency matters.

Anthropic Claude

Handles long documents and context-aware product behaviour well.

Google Gemini

Reads text, images, video and audio across long, mixed files.

Meta Llama

Open weights you can customise and run on your own servers.

Embedding models

Turn business data into vectors that capture meaning.

Whisper

Turns calls, voice notes and meetings into text.

DALL-E

Generates images from natural-language prompts.

Stable Diffusion

Image generation you can host and build into products.

Why GenAI pilots stall

Why generative AI pilots never reach production

These four problems stop more pilots than model choice does.

Nobody owns the metric

A pilot built to explore AI has nothing to prove when budget season comes. Every build starts from one workflow and one number someone owns.

The data is not ready

Answers are only as good as the documents and records behind them. We prepare data and the knowledge base before any model work.

Costs scale with usage

A per-call price that looks small in a demo grows fast with production traffic. We size models per task and track cost per request from day one.

Quality is not measured

Without a test set, nobody can say whether a prompt change helped. Evaluations run on every release, offline and in production.

How we work

How a generative AI project runs

A pilot takes 4 to 6 weeks. The process comes from 14 years of delivery, so the first release is ready for production users.

Try Style: diffusion try-on for fashion retail

A diffusion model renders the garment on the shopper's own photo, for single pieces and layered outfits of up to three garments, with fallback models behind it. Image models cut each garment out of the retailer's product photos, and a language model writes a short description of the finished look.

Custom GenAI vs off-the-shelf tools vs a thin API wrapper

Off-the-shelf is the right answer more often than agencies admit. Custom pays off when the workflow is yours alone.

Questions buyers ask

Generative AI FAQs

We will answer anything not covered here on the call.

How much does generative AI development cost?

A generative AI pilot starts at $7,999 and takes 4 to 6 weeks, covering one use case measured against a baseline. It follows a free discovery sprint. The pilot tells you whether the full build is worth funding.

Which generative AI use cases pay back first?

Document-heavy, repetitive work pays back first, such as drafting replies, extracting data from invoices and contracts, summarising long files and answering staff questions from internal knowledge. These workflows have a known volume and a baseline time per task, so the saving is measurable within weeks. Open-ended creative uses take longer to prove. Product descriptions and search are covered under AI for retail.

Which models do you work with?

We work with OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and Meta Llama for text, plus Whisper for speech and DALL-E or Stable Diffusion for images. We test the candidates on your own use case and pick on accuracy, context length, latency, security and cost. Many builds combine more than one model. For high-volume, narrow tasks we also fine-tune small language models that cost less to run.

How do you protect our data when using third-party models?

We use enterprise API tiers whose terms exclude your data from model training, and we mask personal data before a prompt leaves your systems. When data cannot leave your infrastructure, we run open-weight models such as Llama in your own cloud or on your servers. Access controls, audit logs and encryption in transit and at rest apply in both setups.

How do you measure generative AI output quality?

Before the build, we collect examples of past work with the outputs your team would accept, and that becomes the evaluation set. Every release is scored against it for accuracy, format and tone, with automated checks and human review. In production we track the same scores alongside latency and cost per request.

Can you add generative AI to our existing software?

Yes. We use APIs, middleware, enterprise connectors and custom integration layers so AI fits into the systems and workflows you already rely on, with no need to replace them.

How long does it take to build and deploy a GenAI product?

A pilot takes 4 to 6 weeks. The production rollout built on it is scheduled once the pilot passes, with a round of tuning after live user feedback, and AI coding agents help our engineers deliver it faster.

Do you build RAG and enterprise knowledge bases?

Yes. We connect LLMs to your documents, databases, policies and enterprise data so responses are grounded in your own sources and cite them.

Can you fine-tune an existing model for our business?

Yes. We adapt foundation models to your context and goals for consistent, domain-aware output, which costs far less than training a model from scratch.

One team, matched to your working hours

We schedule 4 to 6 hours of daily overlap with US time and a full working day with the UK and Europe, so reviews, demos and fixes happen during your working hours.
