Custom AI Solutions

Custom AI solutions that ship — not just demo.

We build production-grade AI features into real products: agents that complete workflows, RAG systems that answer from your data, and generative UX that feels native — with evals, guardrails, and cost control built in from day one.

Starts at $499 · Typical range $499–$2,999 · Model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source)

What you get

Built to ship, not to sit.

Every engagement pairs senior engineering, product design, and AI expertise on a single small team. No account managers, no sub-contracting — the people writing the code are on your calls.

  • 01Model-agnostic architecture — pick the right model per task, swap without a rewrite.
  • 02Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with proper chunking, re-ranking, and eval loops.
  • 03Agent workflows that actually finish tasks — tool use, memory, human-in-the-loop where it matters.
  • 04Cost + latency instrumented from the first prompt. No surprise $500 OpenAI bills.
  • 05Guardrails, PII redaction, and safety evals appropriate to your industry.
  • 06Deployed on your infra — Vercel, Cloudflare, AWS, or self-hosted.

Outcomes

What changes after we ship.

Outcome 01

Real user value, not demos

Every feature ships behind a metric — time saved per user, task completion, deflection rate. If it doesn't move the number, it doesn't ship.

Outcome 02

Predictable AI economics

Cost per request tracked from day one. We choose model + prompt + caching so unit economics work at scale.

Outcome 03

Defensible AI moat

Your fine-tunes, your evals, your retrieval index — proprietary artifacts that stay yours, not the model provider's.

Process

A calm, weekly rhythm.

01
Phase 1

AI opportunity map

Where AI actually earns its keep in your product — and where it's a $0 ROI distraction.

02
Phase 2

Prototype + eval

Build the sharpest feature. Set up eval harness before shipping. Measure real accuracy, not vibes.

03
Phase 3

Production hardening

Guardrails, cost controls, observability, fallbacks. Load-test the real user path.

04
Phase 4

Launch + iterate

Ship behind a flag. Instrument. Iterate on the eval set weekly until the metric moves.

The difference

The agency way vs. the Augere way.

Typical agency
  • Kick-off decks, weekly status theater, quarterly roadmaps.
  • Junior devs behind an account manager wall.
  • AI demo that dies on real user traffic.
  • Handoff = a Notion doc and good luck.
Augere Labs
  • Shipped surface area every Friday. Loom, not slides.
  • The senior engineers writing the code are on your calls.
  • Evals, guardrails, cost + latency instrumented from day one.
  • Runbooks, dashboards, and a warm 30-day support tail.

Deliverables

Everything you walk away with.

You own the repo, the model configs, the evals, the dashboards. No lock-in, no repo held hostage, no black-box handoff.

  • Production AI feature deployed into your product
  • Model-agnostic architecture (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source ready)
  • RAG pipeline with chunking, embeddings, and re-ranking
  • Eval harness with golden set and regression tests
  • Cost + latency dashboards, per-request tracking
  • Guardrails, PII handling, and safety policy documentation
  • Prompt library and versioned prompt registry
  • Runbook for on-call and incident response

They built a private RAG stack on our own infra. Legal signed off in a week — that alone was worth the engagement.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which AI models do you use?+

We're model-agnostic — GPT-5.x, Claude, Gemini, or open-source (Llama, Mistral) depending on the task, cost profile, and privacy requirements. Architecture supports swapping without a rewrite.

Can you build an AI agent that actually completes tasks?+

Yes — but honestly. Agents work when the task is bounded, tools are well-defined, and there's a human-in-the-loop for the last 10%. We'll tell you when 'workflow' beats 'agent'.

What about hallucinations and safety?+

Every production feature ships with evals, retrieval grounding, and guardrails proportional to the risk. Financial, medical, and legal contexts get stricter treatment.

How do you control AI costs?+

Cost per request is instrumented from day one — model choice, caching, prompt compression, batching. We regularly cut AI bills by 60–80% on inherited codebases.

Do you fine-tune models?+

When it earns its keep — typically for style, structured output, or domain vocabulary. Fine-tuning is a last resort, not a first move. Retrieval + good prompting solves 80% of cases.
