AI Development

Generative AI systems built to ship -
not stay a demo

RAG pipelines, AI agents, custom GPT and LLM integration, and production AI backends - designed with guardrails, fallbacks, and evals so they hold up in real use, not just a notebook.

Why Choose Us

AI systems that work in production, not just in a notebook

Most AI prototypes fail the moment real users touch them. We build for the failure cases first - rate limits, hallucinations, bad inputs, and cost overruns - so your AI feature still works on a bad day.

Guardrails & Fallbacks

Every AI feature ships with input validation, output checks, and a graceful fallback path when the model gets it wrong.

Evals & Reliability Testing

Structured evaluation sets and reliability testing before launch - not vibes-based "it worked when I tried it."

Production-Grade RAG

Vector database architecture, chunking strategy, and retrieval tuning built for accuracy, not just a quick demo.

Full Code Ownership

Every prompt, pipeline, and integration belongs to you - full source code delivery, no vendor lock-in.

Our Process

From prototype to production AI, in a clear 4-step process

Generative AI projects fail when reliability is an afterthought. Our process treats evals, guardrails, and cost control as first-class steps, not a cleanup pass at the end.

Our AI Delivery Flow

Scope · Build · Evaluate · Ship

01
Scope & Data Audit

Define the use case and audit your data

We map your data sources, success criteria, and failure modes before choosing a model, architecture, or vector database.

02
Build

Build the pipeline, agent, or integration

RAG pipelines, agent tool-calling, or LLM integration built with prompt versioning and structured outputs from the start.

03
Evaluate & Harden

Run evals and add guardrails before launch

Structured evaluation sets, edge-case testing, and fallback paths added before any real user sees the system.

04
Deploy & Monitor

Ship to production with cost and quality monitoring

Token cost tracking, latency monitoring, and ongoing eval runs so quality doesn't quietly degrade after launch.

AI Development Services - Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions US & UK clients ask us most.

What generative AI services does DapperSolutions actually offer?

Four specialisations: RAG systems and document intelligence, AI agents and workflow automation, custom GPT and LLM integration, and AI app backend and deployment. As a generative AI development company we scope each project around the specific specialisation your use case needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.

How do I know which AI service fits my project - RAG, an agent, or an integration?

If you need answers grounded in your own documents or knowledge base, that's RAG. If you need a system that takes multi-step actions across your tools, that's an agent. If you just need a chatbot or AI feature wired into your existing app or CRM, that's LLM integration. Most production systems combine more than one - we map this out during scoping, not after you've committed to the wrong architecture.

Do you quote a project cost upfront, or bill hourly?

We scope the use case, data sources, and success criteria up front, then quote a project cost so there are no open-ended hourly surprises. Book a free consultation and we'll give you a number before any work starts.

How long does a typical generative AI project take to go live?

It depends on the specialisation and how much of your data and systems need integration work, but our process always runs through the same four stages - scope and data audit, build, evaluate and harden, then deploy and monitor. Simple integrations can ship in weeks; multi-component systems with agents and RAG take longer because evals and guardrails aren't skipped to hit a date.

What happens after my AI feature goes live - do you just hand it off?

No. Every system we ship includes token cost tracking, latency monitoring, and ongoing eval runs so quality doesn't quietly degrade after launch. You also get full code ownership - every prompt, pipeline, and integration is yours, with no vendor lock-in if you want to bring maintenance in-house later.
