AI-Based Applications: Full Products Built Around an AI Core, Not Bolted On

This service is for products where AI is the product, not a feature added to an existing app. We build AI-based applications end to end: the interface, the AI core, the data and the controls that make it dependable.

What an AI-based application actually is

A regular app with a chatbot added is still a regular app. An AI-based application is built around the model: the main value comes from what the AI produces, and the product design, data and pricing all follow from that.

How this differs from our other services: App development builds conventional web and mobile apps. AI development adds AI to a process or an existing product. This service builds a new product where AI is the core.

Examples of what we build

  • AI research assistants that find, summarise and cite information for a specific profession.
  • AI-powered matching platforms that connect people, jobs, suppliers or products.
  • AI content engines that produce drafts in a defined brand voice, with review steps.
  • AI analysis tools that turn raw documents or data into structured answers.

These are product types, not client names.

How this differs from adding AI to an existing app

If you have a working product and want a smarter feature, AI development is the faster route. If the whole idea depends on the AI, you need to design the product, data and costs together from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build an AI-based application?

It varies with product scope and AI complexity. After scoping we provide a range for the first release and an estimate of monthly model costs.

How long does it take?

A focused first version commonly takes a few months. We prioritise a working core so you can test with real users early.

Which AI models and providers do you use?

We choose based on quality, cost, speed and data needs, and we design the system so you can switch providers later if you need to.

What are the ongoing model costs?

Usage-based fees depend on volume and the model chosen. We estimate them during scoping and build in controls to keep them predictable.
