During our initial consultation, we'll provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project needs.

We integrate AI into existing applications through a methodical approach: First, we assess your current system to identify integration points. Then, we select appropriate AI technologies based on your business goals. We develop custom AI modules that connect with your application via APIs, implement data pipelines for training and inference, and optimize the integration for performance. Throughout the process, we ensure the AI functionality enhances rather than disrupts your existing user experience.
