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 Sao Paulo

Remote, but close to Sao Paulo

Time-zone overlap

Brazil is eight and a half hours behind India. We run flexible late shifts for a live daily stand-up in your morning, and the rest of the work moves forward while you sleep.

Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD)

We design to the LGPD: a legal basis for each use of data, data-subject rights, security controls and data hosted in Brazilian cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.

Billing

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

Sectors · Sao Paulo

Built for Sao Paulo's key sectors

Sao Paulo startups and businesses work with us on fintech, marketplaces and AI automation, designed to the LGPD.

Agribusiness

Large-scale farms adopt precision agriculture and logistics tools. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Fintech and banking

Digital banks and Pix reshaped how Brazilians pay. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Retail and e-commerce

Mobile shoppers expect instalments and fast checkout. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Mining and energy

Resource companies digitise operations and safety. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
