The temptation with AI is to add a chat box and call it innovation. The products that actually stick do something narrower: they remove a specific, repetitive piece of friction the user feels every day.
Start from the job, not the model
We begin by naming the exact task — summarizing a document, drafting a reply, extracting structured data — and only then choose the model and retrieval strategy that fit. The model is an implementation detail.
Measure before you trust
Every AI feature ships with an evaluation set and guardrails. We track quality, latency, and cost, and we treat regressions like any other bug. Trust is earned with numbers.
