AI + backend engineering studio

AI that actually ships.

An AI + backend studio. We build production RAG agents, integrate LLMs into real software, and keep them reliable — shipped with a measured accuracy rate, not a demo. And we build our own products on the same stack.

Services

Client work funds the studio.

We sell AI + backend engineering: production RAG agents, LLM integration, reliability evals, and the backend systems that make those features hold up in production.

  • RAG agents grounded in real data
  • LLM features inside existing software
  • Evals, observability, and reliability retainers
  • Fixed-fee builds or senior retainer support
Products

We build on the same stack.

Iris and Nous are our proof loop: conversational commerce and channel-agnostic agent infrastructure built with the same retrieval, backend, and reliability patterns we use for clients.

  • Iris for f-commerce storefront conversations
  • Nous as the channel-agnostic commerce engine
  • Spring Boot, pgvector, Gemini, and production deployment
  • Product lessons feed back into service delivery

What we're building for clients today

Practical AI.
Shipped in weeks.

How we work

From scope to shipped system.

  1. 01

    Scoping

    Clarify the user, data, system boundary, and quality bar before we propose work.

  2. 02

    Pilot or proposal

    Fixed-fee pilot when risk is high; direct proposal when the path is clear.

  3. 03

    Build + measure

    Ship in your stack, measure AI behavior, and surface tradeoffs while the work is live.

  4. 04

    Hand-off or retain

    Document the system, train your team, or stay on for reliability and iteration.

Our promise

The fine print, up front.

We work how we'd want to be worked with. No tricks, no lock-ins, no surprise invoices.

  • 30-day pilot

    Try us with real work, not a deck.

  • Cancel anytime

    No annual lock-ins, ever.

  • Fixed-fee or retainer

    Predictable pricing. Never hourly surprises.

  • No setup fees

    We earn from the work, not onboarding.

Questions

Things buyers ask us first.

  • Most audits can start within 5 business days. Fixed-fee builds usually begin with a short scoping phase, then a pilot or implementation plan.

  • Dhaka gives us a deep senior engineering pool and lets us deliver founder-led, without agency layers. You work directly with the engineers building your system, and every build ships with a measured quality bar — that's the advantage, not geography.

  • No. We build RAG agents, eval systems, LLM features inside existing software, automation, MCP servers, voice agents, and full-stack backend work.

  • 20-min scoping call → written proposal → kickoff. You get a shared channel, working demos, measured quality where AI is involved, and clear handover notes.

  • Products keep us honest. Iris and Nous use the same RAG, agent, backend, and reliability patterns we sell to clients.

Founding cohort

Ten client slots.
50% off list.

We're taking our first ten clients at design-partner pricing. You work directly with a senior engineer from scope through hand-off, with no account-manager layer and no handoff to junior delivery teams.

  • Design-partner pricing for the first engagement
  • Weekly working sessions with a senior engineer
  • Permission-based proof points after delivery
  • Standard cancel-anytime terms still apply
