Privacy, quality and clear documentation
European teams tell us they want a partner who treats data protection and quality as the starting point, not an add-on. That is how we work.
GDPR by design
Data minimisation, consent, EU hosting and a signed data processing agreement before any personal data is touched.
Documentation you can audit
Written specifications, architecture notes, test reports and handover documents, so your team or auditors can follow every decision.
Accessible by default
Interfaces built to WCAG guidelines, helping you meet the European Accessibility Act for digital products and services.
Predictable contracts
Fixed scope and price, clear milestones and acceptance criteria, and full ownership of the code and IP.
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.
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.
Built for Portuguese teams
Time-zone overlap
Portuguese and Indian working days overlap by four and a half to five and a half hours, so stand-ups, calls and quick decisions happen during your morning and early afternoon.
The GDPR and Portugal's Law 58/2019
We design to the GDPR and Law 58/2019: data minimisation, consent, access controls, encryption, EU hosting and a data processing agreement signed before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in euros (EUR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Industries we work with in Portugal
Portuguese startups and scale-ups in Lisbon and Porto use us for SaaS products and AI, with senior engineers who work alongside your own team.
Tourism
Hotels and short-term rentals compete for international guests. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Tech startups
Lisbon and Porto hubs attract product companies. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Wine and cork
Producers market and export through digital channels. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Textiles and footwear
Manufacturers build direct-to-consumer brands. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
