AI Services

I build production-grade AI systems for startups and small businesses — from customer-facing chatbots to internal automation pipelines. Every engagement starts with understanding your business problem, not your technology requirements.

AI Chatbots & Assistants

I build conversational AI systems that are genuinely useful to your users — not frustrating chatbots that fail after two questions. Every bot is connected to your real data sources, understands your business context, and knows when to escalate to a human. Built with proper memory, tool use, and fallback logic.

Example use case

An e-commerce store deploys a support bot that answers product questions, tracks orders, and handles returns — cutting support ticket volume by 60%.

OpenAI GPT-4oLangChainNext.jsPostgreSQLVercel

Ideal for

E-commerce stores, SaaS products, service businesses with high support volume

What you get

  • Custom chatbot trained on your data
  • Integration with your existing tools (CRM, Slack, website)
  • Admin dashboard for conversation monitoring
  • Documentation and handoff

RAG Systems

Retrieval-Augmented Generation is the right architecture when you need LLMs to work with your specific data. I design and build end-to-end RAG pipelines — from document processing and chunking strategy to vector retrieval, re-ranking, and response generation — with built-in quality controls to minimize hallucination.

Example use case

A law firm ingests 10,000 legal documents and lets associates query them in plain English — finding relevant precedents in seconds instead of hours.

Ideal for

Companies with large document libraries, internal wikis, legal/compliance teams

What you get

  • Document ingestion pipeline
  • Vector database setup and indexing
  • Retrieval-augmented generation API
  • Search quality evaluation framework

LLM Integration

Not every AI project needs to be built from scratch. Sometimes the highest-value move is adding targeted AI capabilities to what you already have. I integrate LLM-powered features cleanly into existing stacks — with proper error handling, fallbacks, latency management, and cost controls.

Example use case

A project management tool adds AI-powered meeting summaries, task extraction from conversations, and smart priority suggestions — without a full rebuild.

Ideal for

Startups with existing products that want to add AI features fast

What you get

  • AI feature integration into existing codebase
  • Prompt engineering and optimization
  • Cost monitoring and optimization
  • A/B testing setup for AI outputs

AI Automation

Traditional automation handles simple if-this-then-that logic. AI automation handles the messy middle — reading documents, making judgment calls, generating content, and routing decisions intelligently. I build pipelines that would previously require a dedicated human, now running automatically.

Example use case

A marketing agency automates client reporting — pulling data from multiple sources, generating AI-written summaries, and sending formatted reports every Monday morning.

Ideal for

Operations teams, marketing agencies, any business with repetitive data-heavy processes

What you get

  • Automated workflow design and implementation
  • Integration with existing tools (CRM, email, spreadsheets)
  • Monitoring and error alerting
  • Documentation and maintenance guide

Custom AI Web Apps

When you need a complete product built around AI capabilities, I handle the full stack. That means React/Next.js frontends, Python backends, database architecture, API design, authentication, and deployment — with AI woven throughout rather than bolted on.

Example use case

A SaaS founder needs an MVP of their AI writing assistant — from zero to deployed product with authentication, billing integration, and core AI features in 6 weeks.

Next.jsReactPythonFastAPIPostgreSQLAWS/Vercel

Ideal for

Founders building AI-native products, companies needing internal AI tools

What you get

  • Full-stack web application
  • AI/ML feature implementation
  • Database design and API architecture
  • Deployment and DevOps setup
  • Documentation

Internal Tools & Dashboards

Internal tools are often an afterthought — built quickly and painful to use. I build them properly: fast, intuitive, and with AI capabilities that make your team genuinely more effective. Whether it's an analytics dashboard, CMS, or operations panel, the goal is a tool people actually want to open.

Example use case

A logistics company gets a real-time operations dashboard that flags anomalies automatically, summarizes daily performance in plain English, and surfaces the three things that need attention today.

Next.jsRechartsPythonPostgreSQLOpenAI

Ideal for

Operations, finance, and analytics teams who need better visibility and decision support

What you get

  • Custom dashboard or admin panel
  • Data visualization and reporting
  • AI-powered insights and recommendations
  • User management and permissions
