The brief

End to End AI Product Development & Model Engineering Services

We take AI products and AI apps from a rough idea to a live, monitored system. That means choosing the right models, designing an API first architecture around them, and standing up the evaluation and MLOps needed to keep quality high once real users arrive.

Without it
  • The demo impressed everyone, then fell apart on real user inputs.
  • Nobody can say whether the latest model or prompt change made things better or worse.
  • Inference cost and latency climb with every new feature.
With Caudify
  • An AI product with an evaluation suite that catches regressions before users do.
  • A model and architecture choice backed by your data, not a leaderboard.
  • Cost, latency and quality tracked side by side from day one.
01

AI feasibility assessment

A short, evidence based answer to whether AI can do the job well enough, before you fund a build.

Capabilities
  1. 1Use case & data review
  2. 2Prototype on your real samples
  3. 3Go / no go recommendation
02

Model selection & training

Frontier APIs, open weight models or fine tuning, chosen on measured quality, cost and privacy.

Capabilities
  1. 1Benchmarks on your task
  2. 2Fine tuning where it pays off
  3. 3Prompt & retrieval design
03

API first AI product architecture

The product around the model, including APIs, retrieval, guardrails and UI, built so models can be swapped without a rewrite.

Capabilities
  1. 1Retrieval & vector store design
  2. 2Guardrails & fallbacks
  3. 3Provider agnostic model layer
04

MLOps pipeline setup

The plumbing that keeps quality high after launch, like evals, tracing, versioning and cost controls.

Capabilities
  1. 1Automated eval suites
  2. 2Tracing & quality monitoring
  3. 3Prompt & model versioning
How we deliver

AI is in the room from day one.

We don't bolt AI on at the end of a project. It's part of how we research, design, build, test and document every engagement, which is how a small senior team moves quickly without cutting corners. A person reviews everything the models produce.

On AI product development

We prototype on your real samples in the first sprint and score every model or prompt change against an evaluation set, so the go / no-go rests on evidence.

  • A person signs off. No model output reaches your users or your codebase without review.
  • Your data stays yours. Zero-retention API settings or private models when your data requires it.
  • Model-agnostic. We pick models by measured quality, cost and privacy, not by vendor.
  1. Discover

    Requirements mapped with LLMs

    With your permission, briefs, tickets, call notes and analytics exports go into a private workspace. LLMs map requirements, edge cases and open questions, so nothing said in a workshop gets lost. People run the workshops; the model keeps the record.

  2. Prototype

    Something real to react to, early

    First-pass screens, flows and copy variants are generated from the spec, then shaped by our designers. Decisions happen on a clickable prototype instead of a document, and the final design system stays human-made.

  3. Build

    AI pair programming, human review

    Engineers work with AI coding assistants for scaffolding, tests and refactors. Every change is read by a person and scanned by Caudilysis, our own static analysis platform, before it merges.

  4. Verify

    Evals and generated tests in CI

    AI features get an evaluation set built from real examples, and every model or prompt change is scored against it. Everything else gets generated test cases that an engineer reviews and keeps in the pipeline.

  5. Ship and learn

    Docs, runbooks and monitoring

    Documentation, runbooks and release notes are drafted with AI and checked by the team. After launch, monitoring and usage data feed straight into the next iteration.

Engagement

How a AI product development engagement runs.

The indicative shape of a first engagement. Phases overlap on purpose, so we start building while discovery is still sharpening the plan.

  1. 01FeasibilityPrototype on real data, define success metrics.
    2 wks
  2. 02ArchitectureModel choice, retrieval, APIs and guardrails.
    2 wks
  3. 03Build & evaluateShip features behind an eval suite.
    6 wks
  4. 04Launch & operateMonitoring, cost controls, iteration.
    3 wks

This is indicative only. Every engagement is scoped with you before it starts.

Fit

Is AI product development right for you?

  1. 01

    You have a use case that works in a demo but not yet in production.

  2. 02

    You need evidence on model choice, cost and privacy before committing.

  3. 03

    You want your team to own and run the system after handover.

Questions

AI product development questions, answered.

What is AI app development?

AI app development is building a web or mobile application where a model does core work, such as answering questions over your data, drafting content or making predictions. On top of normal app engineering it adds model selection, retrieval, evaluation, guardrails and monitoring, which is where most of the risk and effort sits.

Which AI models do you work with?

We are model agnostic. That covers frontier APIs such as Claude, open weight models you can self host, and fine tuned variants. The choice comes from benchmarking on your task, weighing quality, latency, cost and data residency needs.

How do you know an AI feature is good enough to ship?

We build an evaluation set from real examples early in the project and score every prompt, model or retrieval change against it. That gives you a quality number that moves with the product instead of a gut feel.

Can our data stay private?

Yes. We design for your constraints, whether that means zero retention API settings, private deployments of open weight models or retrieval over data that never leaves your cloud, and we document exactly where data flows.
