RAG development · Houston
RAG development services in Houston
Ship faster with senior engineers at offshore rates, overlapping your morning with a daily live stand-up.
Clarigo Infotech builds retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems: AI search and assistants that find the right information in your documents, databases and knowledge base, then answer with sources. RAG keeps answers accurate and current without retraining a model, and respects who is allowed to see what.
US companies most often hire us for AI agents, HIPAA-ready healthcare software and SaaS MVPs for funded startups.

What we build with RAG
Chat with your documents
Ask questions across PDFs, policies, manuals and contracts and get answers with citations.
Enterprise knowledge assistants
One place for staff to find answers across Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence and more.
Customer support answers
Grounded answers for support teams and chatbots, drawn from your help centre and product data.
Search over structured data
Combine document search with SQL and APIs so answers include live numbers.
Permission-aware retrieval
Users only get answers from content they are allowed to see.
Evaluation and tuning
Test sets that measure retrieval and answer quality, and tuning until they pass.
How we approach RAG development
Why RAG instead of fine-tuning
Fine-tuning changes how a model writes; RAG changes what it knows at the moment it answers. For most business questions RAG is cheaper, easier to update and easier to audit, because every answer points to its source.
Getting retrieval right
Quality depends on how documents are cleaned, split, embedded and searched. We use hybrid search (keyword plus vector), re-ranking and metadata filters, and test retrieval separately from the final answer.
Keeping it current and secure
Connectors keep the index in sync as documents change, and access rules from your source systems are applied at query time so nobody sees what they shouldn't.
Measured, not guessed
We build a test set of real questions with expected answers and track accuracy, citation quality and 'I don't know' rates, so you can see improvement and catch regressions.
Remote, but close to Houston
Time-zone overlap
We overlap with US Central mornings and offer flexible shifts for a daily stand-up, with written updates in between.
HIPAA and US state privacy laws
For healthcare we build to HIPAA requirements: role-based access, encryption, audit logs and HIPAA-eligible cloud hosting, with BAAs in place for vendors that touch PHI. For other products we follow US privacy laws such as CCPA, and we sign NDAs before any work starts.
Billing
Invoices in US dollars (USD). Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Industries we work with in Houston
Houston's energy, healthcare and industrial companies use us for operations software, computer vision for inspection and safety, and AI that turns field data into decisions.
SaaS and enterprise software
Fierce competition rewards fast product iteration and AI features. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Healthcare
Providers need HIPAA-aware portals, scheduling and claims automation. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Financial services
Banks and fintechs modernise onboarding, fraud checks and payments. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Retail and e-commerce
Direct-to-consumer brands live on conversion-focused stores and paid ads. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
