Applied AI systems

AI that can survive contact with your business.

We design, test, and operate AI systems that answer real calls, use private knowledge, and stay inside clear boundaries.

The model is one component. The product is the boundary, evaluation, interface, and operating evidence around it.

Live proof

Do not take the deck's word for it.

Use the systems. Then inspect what was tested and what remains open.

01Live by phone

Porter

An intake agent you can interrupt.

Call with a messy request, change direction, or ask for something outside scope. Porter is built to clarify, contain, and hand off.

02Live in browser

Custos

Private answers with visible boundaries.

Ask questions against a controlled knowledge base. Custos shows how retrieval, permissions, and citations work as one system.

What we build

Start where the work gets expensive.

Begin with one bounded workflow. Expand after its value, security boundary, and operating cost are clear.

01

Voice agents and intake

Answer calls, clarify intent, capture details, and hand work to the right person or system.

From $1,500 + $449/mo
02

Private knowledge systems

Search controlled document sets with citations and permission-aware retrieval.

Pilots from $5,000
03

Agent workflows

Give models narrow tools for research, drafting, triage, and approved record updates.

Projects from $5,000
04

Production hardening

Add evaluation, observability, cost controls, cloud delivery, and incident-ready runbooks.

From $18,000

The operating system around the model

The model is only one part.

A useful prototype can fail in production if access, actions, evaluation, and ownership remain vague. We make each one explicit.

01

Access

Who can see which source, record, or action.

02

Tools

What the model may do, and where approval is required.

03

Evaluation

Which known failures block a release.

04

Operation

What happens when quality, cost, or a dependency drifts.

How we work

Scope. Build. Prove. Operate.

  1. 01Define the boundary

    Map the users, data, actions, and cost of failure.

  2. 02Build the narrow path

    Ship the smallest useful system against real constraints.

  3. 03Prove what matters

    Test quality, adversarial cases, latency, and cost.

  4. 04Operate or hand off

    Deploy with monitoring, runbooks, and clear ownership.

Starting points

Price the unknowns before the build.

Start with a sprint or pilot. Expand when the first system has proven its value and exposed the real integration work.

01

Architecture sprint

Map one workflow, its data boundary, constraints, and success measures.

from $1,500
02

Voice intake pilot

One call flow, one handoff destination, monitoring, and launch evidence.

from $1,500
03

Private knowledge pilot

One team, one interface, a bounded document set, and permission testing.

from $5,000
04

Production implementation

Identity, integrations, deployment, observability, rollout, and support.

from $18,000
05

Care and hardening

Monitoring, eval maintenance, dependency updates, and incident support.

from $500/mo

Final pricing depends on identity, integrations, deployment, rollout size, and support. No retainer is required to start.

Who builds it

Two senior builders. Directly accountable.

The people in the first meeting design, build, and test the system.

Ben Bolaji

Founder and CEO

Ben Bolaji

Fifteen years turning field data into durable models at Corteva, with production work across geospatial analysis and model evaluation.

Andrew Bolaji

Co-founder and CTO

Andrew Bolaji

Nine years building production software at Vestmark, Veracross, and Honda, plus high-volume warehouse systems and the live demos above.

Bring the difficult workflow

Built around proof, not AI theater.
