AI DEVELOPMENT
AI agents that go
beyond the PoC.
We build AI agents on generative AI and LLMs, from business analysis and design to implementation, evaluation and production. We connect them to your existing systems and data so they keep working in day-to-day operations.
Workflow automation agents
Automate labor-intensive routine work such as reading documents, cross-checking records and data entry.
Knowledge search (RAG)
AI that answers questions from internal documents and manuals, citing its sources.
Document & drawing structuring
Read contracts, technical documents and drawings, and turn them into usable data.
System integration
Connect to business systems, databases and SaaS through APIs, and build AI into real workflows.
Evaluation & improvement
Build evaluation data and criteria, and keep improving accuracy, cost and speed.
Security & data governance
Design data handling, access control and policies for using external AI services.
Models and tools: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, LlamaIndex and more
RESEARCH TO MARKET
From the lab to the real world.
We help bring research from any field into practical use: assessing the technology and its market, building the business plan, raising funds, launching startups and partnering with companies. Where software or AI is involved, we also build the prototypes and products.
From research to commercialization, fundraising and startup launch.
What we help with
Technology & market assessment
We clarify the strengths and uses of the research, study markets and competitors, and map a path to practical use.
Business planning
We decide who to serve and with what value, and build the business plan and model.
Fundraising
From investor materials to introductions to investors.
Startup launch
We work alongside founders on early team building, product development and winning the first customers.
Industry partnerships
We connect joint research and collaborations with companies, on both the technical and business sides.
Technical due diligence
We assess the feasibility and competitiveness of technologies to inform investment and partnership decisions.
