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 generative AI development covers
Copilots and assistants
In-app assistants that draft, summarise, answer and take actions for your staff or customers, grounded in your own data.
Content generation
Product descriptions, marketing copy, reports and emails generated in your brand voice, with review steps before anything is published.
Image and media generation
Product imagery, design variations and visual assets generated from prompts or templates, built into your existing workflow.
Document generation
Proposals, contracts, summaries and structured reports drafted from your templates and records, ready for human sign-off.
Fine-tuning
Models fine-tuned on your examples when prompting and retrieval are not enough, with evaluation to prove the gain.
Private LLMs
Open-source models such as Llama, Mistral or Qwen hosted on your own cloud, so sensitive data never leaves your environment.
How we approach Generative AI development
Prompting, retrieval or fine-tuning
Most GenAI products work best with good prompts plus retrieval from your own documents. We only recommend fine-tuning when you have enough quality examples and a clear gap that retrieval cannot close, because it adds training and maintenance cost.
Choosing the right model
We compare GPT, Claude, Gemini and open-source models on your real tasks for quality, speed and cost before committing. The architecture keeps the model swappable, so you can switch providers as prices and capabilities change.
Guardrails and review
Generated output goes through checks for format, tone, facts against your sources and sensitive content. Where accuracy matters, we add a human approval step and keep a log of every generation.
Private by design
We use API providers configured not to train on your data, or host open-source models on your own cloud. For healthcare work, our HIPAA-trained team builds to HIPAA requirements.
Remote, but close to Portugal
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.
Built for Portugal's key sectors
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. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Tech startups
Lisbon and Porto hubs attract product companies. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Wine and cork
Producers market and export through digital channels. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Textiles and footwear
Manufacturers build direct-to-consumer brands. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
