LLM features that actually ship to users.

We ship AI features for founders in Los Angeles — chat interfaces, RAG over your data, agents that do work, evaluations that tell you when the model is broken. Production-ready LLM apps, not demos. We use Vercel AI SDK, AI Gateway for model routing, and the eval tools that work in 2026.

What you get

Concretely, by the time we hand over

Streaming chat or agent UI with proper UX (interrupt, retry, citations)
RAG pipeline over your data — chunking, embeddings, hybrid search, citations
Provider routing via Vercel AI Gateway — Anthropic primary, OpenAI/Gemini fallback
Evals: a real test set, a deterministic CI check that catches model regressions
Observability: tool-call traces, token spend, latency per provider

Why this works for Los Angeles

The local math

LA is the underrated tech hub of 2026. Defense in Costa Mesa (Anduril, Apex Space). Healthcare and media-tech in Santa Monica. Creator-economy products everywhere from Venice to El Segundo. Hiring senior engineers means competing with $250K offers from VCs who won't admit they pay SF-level comp. We don't pretend otherwise — we just ship, flat-priced.

Year-one outlay for a single senior hire in Los Angeles: ~$310K. Our ai product development engagement starts at $8,000.

02
Model-routing day one so you're not locked to one provider's pricing or outages
03
RAG done with hybrid search + reranking, not naive embedding cosine similarity
04
Cost-aware: caching, model tiering (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), budget alerts wired in

FAQ

Common questions about ai product development in Los Angeles

How fast can you start?

Most builds begin within seven days of the first call. We don't sell discovery — we go from problem statement to first deploy on the same day-one timeline.

Is the price really flat?

Yes. After a 30-minute call we send a single number and a scope you can accept or reject. No hourly billing, no change-order games. If we underestimate, we eat it.

Which AI provider do you use?

Default to Anthropic Claude (Sonnet for most cases, Haiku for cost-sensitive paths, Opus for the hard ones). All routed via Vercel AI Gateway so you can switch providers without code changes.

How do you handle hallucinations?

Evals on a held-out test set in CI, citation-required prompts where factuality matters, structured outputs (JSON schema) where the answer must be machine-parsable. Where users see free-form responses, we add 'why this answer' citations to the underlying data.

Who owns the code?

You do, from commit one. The repository is created in your GitHub org. Infrastructure is provisioned in your cloud account. We don't host your stack on ours and we don't lock you in.
