AI assistants & workflow integration

Put AI to work on real tasks, with context, guardrails, and human oversight.

Most corporate AI initiatives produce little more than an ungrounded chatbot that invents facts and terrifies legal counsel. A toy model guessing at your company's records is a liability, not an asset. I build enterprise AI integrations designed around how serious businesses actually function: strictly grounded in your private documents through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), cordoned off by role-based data permissions, and governed by deterministic human-in-the-loop approvals before any permanent change is made to your database or customer accounts.

02 / Scope

What we can deliver

The final scope is agreed around your project.

01 / 08What we can deliver

Pragmatic use-case validation

We cut through the AI hype to identify where language models actually create leverage—extracting invoices, summarizing case files, triaging client inquiries—and where plain deterministic code is safer and cheaper.

02 / 08What we can deliver

Private knowledge retrieval (RAG)

Your assistant references your actual internal manuals, contracts, and operational guides via secure vector search (pgvector). It answers with source citations rather than making educated guesses.

03 / 08What we can deliver

Intelligent document parsing

Transform messy PDFs, customer emails, scanned receipts, and legacy forms into clean, validated JSON records that feed directly into your database without manual transcription.

04 / 08What we can deliver

Sandboxed tool execution

Equip the model with typed, deterministic function calls—allowing it to query inventory, calculate shipping, or draft calendar entries through approved API boundaries rather than freeform text.

05 / 08What we can deliver

Granular roles & access boundaries

Strict tenant and user isolation. A junior employee or external customer chatting with the assistant can never access executive payroll, confidential contracts, or unapproved records.

06 / 08What we can deliver

Human-in-the-loop approvals

High-consequence actions—issuing refunds, sending client-wide emails, updating contracts—are staged as drafts requiring explicit human verification before execution.

07 / 08What we can deliver

Evaluation suites & audit logging

Every prompt, completion, tool call, and human approval is logged with latency and token cost tracking. We benchmark model accuracy against real historical test cases before shipping to production.

08 / 08What we can deliver

Seamless interface integration

Whether an embedded copilot sidebar, an interactive modal, or an asynchronous email processor, the assistant feels like a native, beautifully styled extension of your existing application.

Pragmatic use-case validation

We cut through the AI hype to identify where language models actually create leverage—extracting invoices, summarizing case files, triaging client inquiries—and where plain deterministic code is safer and cheaper.

When this helps

04 / the lego pieces

Choosing the right tools

I engineer AI systems using the right model for the right task—leveraging Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, or local open-weights models (via Ollama or vLLM) based on privacy, latency, and cost requirements. Knowledge is indexed using PostgreSQL with pgvector for fast hybrid semantic search. Tool integrations and agentic routines are implemented using type-safe TypeScript interfaces with strict schema validation (Zod), ensuring the model never passes malformed parameters to your production systems.

05 / FAQ

Questions you may have

Will our company's proprietary data be used to train public AI models?

No. Never. We exclusively use commercial enterprise API agreements (such as Anthropic and OpenAI enterprise endpoints or dedicated self-hosted open models) where data retention is strictly zero and vendor model training on customer payloads is explicitly prohibited by contract.

How do you prevent the AI from hallucinating or making up false answers?

By anchoring the model strictly to your verified documents through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Rather than asking the model to answer from general training memory, we retrieve the exact relevant passages from your private database and instruct the model to answer only using those sources. If the answer cannot be found in your approved files, it is programmed to state that clearly and offer human escalation.

Can the AI perform destructive actions in our database without our knowledge?

No. The system is engineered with strict human-in-the-loop guardrails. Read operations can be automated for instant answers, but any write or mutation operation (updating a customer status, issuing a payment, sending a contract) is staged as a pending action in your dashboard, awaiting a human operator's one-click approval.

How much do the ongoing AI API usage fees cost to run?

Surprisingly little when engineered thoughtfully. By selecting lightweight, fast models for initial document routing and extraction, caching vector embeddings, and invoking heavy reasoning models only when truly necessary, typical business workflows cost pennies per hundred transactions. We build in real-time token budgeting so there are never unexpected monthly surprises.

Can this be integrated into our existing web application or internal dashboard?

Yes. It is designed specifically to integrate into existing platforms. Whether you need an interactive copilot panel inside your current Next.js or React app, an automated webhook worker that processes incoming emails in the background, or a Slack/Teams integration for your internal team, it hooks directly into your current tech stack.

Working together

How much will the project cost?

Every engagement is quoted individually, based on its scope, complexity, and delivery needs. We agree on the work and its cost before development begins.

Who owns the software?

For bespoke projects, you own the custom code, with client-controlled repositories and infrastructure, documentation, and a complete handover. Third-party components and services retain their own licenses and terms. When an existing product fits your needs, I can help you adopt and configure it, avoiding unnecessary development. You receive access under that product's agreed terms; its underlying platform remains with its owner.

What support is included after launch?

One-off projects include 60 days of bug fixing and stabilization after launch for the agreed delivery. Continued support can follow through a maintenance agreement, with additional features scoped separately. Existing-product access follows that product's support terms.
