What We Build

The same deep technical work we write about on our blog — MCP, RAG, agent reliability — is what we implement for clients.

RAG Systems

  • Hybrid search (BM25 + dense vectors)
  • Re-ranking with cross-encoders
  • Embedding pipelines with CDC
  • Vector infrastructure (pgvector, Pinecone)

MCP Implementation

  • Custom MCP server development
  • Tool integration patterns
  • Capability negotiation
  • Production deployment

Agent Architectures

  • State management frameworks
  • Reliability patterns (Pydantic, Reviewer)
  • Orchestration systems
  • Error recovery and fallbacks

AI Evaluation & Monitoring

  • Golden dataset creation
  • LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation
  • Drift detection
  • Guardrails and safety

Enterprise Integration

  • ERP/CRM connectivity
  • Data warehouse integration
  • API design for AI systems
  • Legacy system bridging

Knowledge Transfer

  • Your team involved throughout
  • Documentation and training
  • You own the result
  • Ongoing support options

This Is Not Chatbot Consulting

We don't configure off-the-shelf AI tools and call it “implementation.” We build custom AI infrastructure:

RAG That Actually Works

Hybrid search, re-ranking, embedding strategies. Production retrieval engineering, not basic vector search.

MCP From Scratch

We build MCP servers. Tool integration, capability negotiation, production deployment patterns.

Agent Reliability

Pydantic validation, Reviewer Pattern, state management, evaluation systems. Production-grade agents.

Read our blog — MCP series, RAG architecture, RLHF. That's the depth we bring to implementations.

Our Approach

We Build With You

Not a black box. Your team is involved at every step. We're building your capability, not just delivering code.

  • • Regular working sessions with your team
  • • Knowledge transfer throughout
  • • Your team owns the result

We Build AI Systems

RAG pipelines, MCP servers, agent architectures. Custom infrastructure, not tool configuration.

  • • Production RAG with hybrid search
  • • MCP server implementation
  • • Agent evaluation frameworks

Enterprise-Class Standards

18 years of enterprise software experience. Production-ready from day one.

  • • Security-first architecture
  • • Scalable infrastructure
  • • Full documentation

100% US-Based

No offshore handoffs. Direct communication with the team that's actually doing the work.

  • • Atlanta-based team
  • • Same timezone communication
  • • Direct access to engineers

Dedicated Resource Model

$35K+/month per dedicated Senior AI Technologist who builds custom AI systems — RAG, MCP, agent architectures. Fixed monthly fee per resource. AI compute costs (API calls, embeddings, inference) billed separately at cost.

Why We Don't Do Part-Time

After running multiple consulting firms over 25 years, we've learned the hard way: the #1 cause of project failure is resource fragmentation. Developers split across projects, bad estimates, or worse - both. Many firms still do this. We don't. Your resources stay 100% dedicated to your project. No split time, no context switching.

FAQs

What kind of AI systems do you build?

Production RAG pipelines (hybrid search, re-ranking), MCP servers, agent architectures with reliability patterns, evaluation systems. Not chatbot wrappers.

How is the team structured?

A principal technologist leads the build with supporting engineers. US-based, consistent lead throughout. We build with you, not for you.

Do you replace our team?

No. We integrate with your team, transfer knowledge, and ensure you own the AI systems we build together.

What technologies do you use?

MCP, pgvector/Pinecone/Weaviate, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangGraph, Pydantic, Kubernetes. We match tech to your needs.
