For SaaS Startups
[05]

Make your app AI-ready — without betting the company on it.

We help Series Seed to Series B SaaS teams ship the AI features their users actually want. No moonshots, no research projects — just production work that moves retention, activation, and pricing power.

Why now

Your users already expect AI inside your product.

Two years ago, an AI feature was a differentiator. Today it's the baseline. The startups winning category are the ones turning their product surface into something that thinks alongside the user — answering questions, drafting work, and quietly automating the grind.

But most SaaS teams don't have a research org, a vector database specialist, or six months of runway to figure out evals from scratch. That's the gap we fill. We've shipped retrieval, agent, and copilot features into a dozen production SaaS apps — and we bring the playbook with us.

We're not a body shop and we're not a model lab. We're a small team of engineers who plug into yours, ship the thing, and hand you the keys.

What “AI-ready” actually means

Semantic search & RAG

Turn your docs, tickets, and product data into a retrieval layer your users can ask questions of in plain English.

In-product copilots

Context-aware assistants embedded where your users already work — drafting, summarising, and acting on their data.

Agents & workflow automation

Multi-step agents that take real actions inside your product, with the guardrails and evals to make them trustworthy.

Smart onboarding & defaults

Replace static forms and empty states with models that infer intent and pre-fill the boring parts.

Usage intelligence

Forecasting, anomaly detection, and recommendations baked into the dashboards your customers already pay for.

Evals, guardrails & cost control

The unglamorous infra that keeps an LLM feature from regressing, leaking data, or burning your margin overnight.

How we engage

Sprint 01 · 2 weeks · fixed fee

AI Readiness Audit

We map your product, data, and users to the highest-leverage AI surfaces — and tell you honestly which ones are real and which are demos.

  • Opportunity map ranked by impact + effort
  • Data & infra gap analysis
  • Reference architecture for the top 2 bets
  • Sequenced 90-day build plan
Sprint 02 · 4 — 8 weeks

Prototype to Production

Ship one AI feature end-to-end. We embed with your team, build the retrieval and orchestration layers, and harden it until you can put it in front of paying customers.

  • Production RAG, copilot, or agent feature
  • Eval harness wired into your CI
  • Cost, latency, and quality dashboards
  • Runbook handed off to your engineers
Sprint 03 · 6 — 12 weeks

AI Platform Foundations

The platform layer underneath everything else — vector stores, feature pipelines, prompt versioning, model gateways — so your team can ship AI features without reinventing infra each time.

  • Vector + feature store deployed in your cloud
  • Model gateway with provider failover
  • Prompt + dataset versioning
  • Internal SDK for your product engineers

The process

01

Listen

A working session with your founders and product team. We come back with a one-pager: what's worth building, what isn't, and why.

02

Prototype

A focused build sprint against real user data. The goal isn't a demo — it's something you can ship behind a flag in week three.

03

Harden

Evals, guardrails, observability, and cost controls. The boring work that decides whether an AI feature survives contact with users.

04

Hand off

Documentation, runbooks, and pairing with your engineers until they own it. No vendor lock-in, no perpetual retainer.
