What we do

What our AI development covers

AI agents

Agents that read, decide and act inside your tools: CRM updates, ticket triage, scheduling, reporting and follow-ups.

LLM apps and copilots

Custom apps on GPT, Claude, Gemini or open-source models, connected to your data with retrieval and guardrails.

Chatbots and voice AI

Assistants for websites, WhatsApp and phone that answer, book and hand over to a person when needed.

AI automation

Document processing, data extraction and back-office workflows that remove hours of manual work.

Computer vision

Inspection, counting, safety and document recognition from cameras and images.

AI in existing products

Add search, summaries, recommendations and assistants to the software you already have.

In depth

How we approach AI development

Start from the business problem

We begin with the process you want to improve and the result you want to measure, then choose the simplest AI that achieves it. Sometimes that is an agent, sometimes a well-designed workflow with one model call, and sometimes no AI at all.

AI software, not just a model

A useful AI product needs more than a model: data pipelines, integrations, a clear interface, permissions, logging, evaluation and cost control. We build the whole system so it works reliably for real users.

Your data stays protected

We use providers configured not to train on your data, mask sensitive fields and can run open-source models on your own cloud. For healthcare we build to HIPAA requirements.

Measured after launch

Every AI feature ships with test sets, monitoring and usage reports, so you can see accuracy, speed and cost and we can keep improving it.

Working with us from Japan

Built for Japanese teams

Time-zone overlap

Japan is three and a half hours ahead of India, so our working days overlap for most of your afternoon, with a stand-up and same-day replies.

Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)

We design to the APPI: clear purpose of use, security controls, rules for third-party and cross-border transfers, and data hosted in Japanese cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.

Billing

Invoices in Japanese yen (JPY) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

Sectors · Japan

Built for Japan's key sectors

Japanese companies value careful specifications, quality and reliable schedules. We work with detailed written specs, thorough testing and regular reports, and design to Japan's APPI privacy law.

Automotive

Carmakers invest in connected-car software and factory automation. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Electronics and robotics

Hardware makers need companion apps and embedded AI. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Gaming and anime

Entertainment firms reach global fans through apps and stores. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Retail and convenience

Chains run loyalty apps and cashless checkout. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
