Definition

What AI integration services involve

Most of the engineering sits in the adapter layer, permissions and logging. Calling the model is the smallest part of the job.

What is AI integration?
AI integration is the work of connecting AI models to the software a business already runs, such as CRMs, ERPs and support desks. It covers the adapters that pass data to the model, the access rules and redaction applied on the way, and the step that writes results back into the original system.

Related: RAG development grounds the model in your documents. AI strategy decides which integration to build first.

Integration patterns

Choosing an AI API integration pattern

The right pattern depends on whether a user waits for the answer and whether the AI writes back to your system.

In-screen assistBackground processingKnowledge assistantAgent with tool access
How it worksA user action calls the model and the result appears in the same screenEvents from your system queue up and the model processes them in batchesThe model answers staff questions from your documents and recordsThe model reads and updates records through approved APIs

When answers must come from your own documents with citations, the work moves into RAG development.

What we build

Enterprise AI integration we deliver

Enterprise AI integration that fits the architecture you have, with the adapter, permissions and monitoring built by one team.

AI in your CRM

Call summaries, draft replies and account briefs appear inside Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics and are written back to the record. A fuller assistant becomes one of our enterprise copilots.

SalesforceDynamics

AI in your ERP

We extract invoice, order and supplier document data and post the structured fields into SAP or your ERP for review.

SAPDocument extraction

Support desk integration

Ticket triage, suggested answers and case summaries appear inside the support desk your agents already use.

Knowledge search over your content

Staff ask questions in plain language and get answers with links to the policy, manual or past case they came from.

AI API integration

We connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini APIs through a gateway that handles keys, retries, logging and cost limits.

Open-weight models on your infrastructure

We deploy Llama or Mistral in your cloud or data centre when data cannot leave your perimeter, including small language models tuned for one task.

Machine learning in your workflow

We push forecasts, scores and classifications into the screens and reports where your teams make the decision.

New AI features in your own apps

We add AI to the custom web and mobile software you own, built in your repository and release process.

Evaluation and monitoring

We build evaluation sets from questions your users ask and track quality, latency and cost after launch.

Architecture

How AI fits into your existing architecture

Four patterns keep the AI inside your current systems and rules, so there is nothing to rebuild.

Adapter layer between your system and the model

A small service talks to your system's existing API on one side and the model on the other, so the core application code stays as it is.

Your system→Adapter→Model→Write-back

Permissions carried through

The adapter passes the user's identity, and the AI only reads records that user can already open in the source system.

User→Source permissions→Allowed records→Model

Redaction before the model

Personal and confidential fields are masked before any prompt leaves your environment, and restored only where policy allows.

Record→Redaction→Model→Response

Human approval on write-back

Changes the AI proposes to records, payments or customer messages wait in a review queue, and every decision is logged.

AI proposal→Review queue→Approve+Audit log

Talent Matched: one AI agent integrated across two recruitment products

Tallie, an AI agent, works inside both a multi-tenant ATS and the TM Discover search engine. It reads and acts on data only through MCP servers hosted by each product, and spoken screening answers are transcribed and scored.

How we work

How an AI integration project runs

A proof of concept on one workflow takes 3 to 4 weeks. The production integration plan follows, sized to your systems and compliance scope.

  1. 01

    Systems and workflow review

    We map the workflow, the systems it touches, their APIs and the access rules that apply to each user.

    Discovery
  2. 02

    Integration design

    We agree the adapter, data flow, redaction rules, write-back points and model choice with your architects.

    Discovery
  3. 03

    Evaluation set

    Before the build, we collect questions and records from your own workflow with the outputs your team would accept.

    Build
  4. 04

    Adapter and model build

    We build in your GitHub or GitLab, with automated tests on every change and your CI and project tracker.

    Build
  5. 05

    Staging and security review

    The integration runs in staging against copies of your data, with permission and redaction checks, before production.

    Launch
  6. 06

    Rollout and monitoring

    A first group of users goes live, and quality, latency and cost are tracked before the wider rollout.

Data security

Your data rules apply to the AI

Controls are mapped to GDPR, HIPAA and the EU AI Act where they apply, and built into the integration from the first sprint.

ISOGDPR

Access control carried through

The AI reads only the records the signed-in user can open in the source system.

Field-level redaction

Sensitive fields can be redacted before any model sees them.

Audit logs

Every prompt, response, model version and approval is logged for review.

Human review

Proposed changes to records and customer messages wait for a person to approve them.

Tech stack

Systems and models we connect

Business logic sits in the adapter and stays separate from the model, so changing models is a configuration change.

AI integration services FAQs

We will answer anything not covered here on the call.

Which systems can you integrate AI into?

We integrate AI into CRMs such as Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, ERPs such as SAP, support desks, and the internal tools and custom apps you own. Any system with an API, webhooks or a database we can reach through a secure adapter is a candidate.

Will AI integration change our existing architecture?

Very little. The AI connects through your systems' existing APIs and a separate adapter service, so the core application stays as it is. The usual additions are the adapter, a queue for background work and a panel or button in the screen where users see the result.

How do you keep our data secure?

Access controls from the source system carry through to the AI, so it reads only what the signed-in user can open. Sensitive fields can be redacted before any model sees them, every call is logged, and open-weight models can run on your own infrastructure when data must stay inside it. NDAs are standard and the IP is yours from the first commit.

How long does an AI integration take?

A proof of concept on one workflow takes 3 to 4 weeks. The production timeline depends on how many systems it touches and the compliance scope, and it is fixed in writing after the proof of concept. AI coding agents help our engineers build the integration faster. A 1 to 2 week discovery sprint comes first when the starting point is not yet agreed.

How much does AI integration cost?

AI integration starts with a free discovery sprint. A proof of concept on one workflow starts at $4,999, and the production build is quoted from the design once the systems and scope are clear.

Which AI models do you integrate?

We integrate OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini through their APIs, and run open-weight models such as Llama and Mistral on your infrastructure. We test candidates on your own workflow and pick on accuracy, latency, data residency and cost, and the adapter lets you change models later.

What does an AI integration company need from our team?

We need API access or a sandbox for each system, a technical contact who knows the data model, and someone who owns the workflow and its metric. We work in your GitHub or GitLab, CI and project tracker, so your engineers can review every change. If you want engineers inside your team for the long run, you can hire AI agent engineers.

How do you test an AI integration before it goes live?

We build an evaluation set from questions and records in your own workflow, with the outputs your team would accept. Every change runs automated tests and the evaluation set, and the integration runs in staging against copies of your data before production.

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.
