What we do

What we build with LLMs

Custom LLM applications

Assistants, copilots and internal tools built around your workflows, not a generic chat window.

LLM integration

Add GPT, Claude or Gemini to your existing product through secure, well-tested APIs.

Open-source and private models

Deploy Llama and other open models on your own cloud when data must stay in-house.

Fine-tuning and evaluation

Tune models on your examples and measure accuracy with test sets before and after launch.

Guardrails and safety

Input and output filtering, PII masking, grounding checks and human review where needed.

Cost and latency optimisation

Model routing, caching and prompt design that keep responses fast and bills predictable.

In depth

How we approach LLM development

Choosing the right model

There is no single best model. We compare OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and open-source options on your real tasks for accuracy, speed, cost and data handling, and design the app so the model can be swapped later without a rewrite.

Grounded in your data

Most business value comes from connecting the model to your documents, databases and tools. We use retrieval (RAG), function calling and agents so answers come from your information and actions happen in your systems.

Built for production, not demos

We add evaluation test sets, logging, monitoring, rate limits, fallbacks and cost alerts from day one, so the app keeps working well after launch and you can see exactly what it is doing.

Security and compliance

Data minimisation, encryption, access control and providers configured not to train on your data. For healthcare we build to HIPAA requirements with BAAs in place for any service that touches PHI.

Working with us from Melbourne

Built for Melbourne teams

Time-zone overlap

Indian mornings overlap with eastern Australian afternoons, so you get a daily stand-up in your working day and work moves forward the same evening.

The Australian Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles

We build to the Australian Privacy Principles (open handling, security, access and correction), host data in Australian cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.

Billing

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

Sectors · Melbourne

Built for Melbourne's key sectors

Melbourne's healthcare, education and SaaS businesses use us for patient and student platforms, AI assistants and new products, built to the Australian Privacy Principles.

Mining and resources

Remote operations need asset tracking, safety and automation software. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Education

Universities serve international students through digital platforms. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Financial services

Open banking under the Consumer Data Right drives new apps. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Tourism

Operators depend on online bookings and destination marketing. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
