Questions & answers
How do I know if my business really needs AI, or if it's just hype?
“This is one of the most important questions we help answer during our comprehensive discovery phase. Many businesses struggle with determining whether AI will provide genuine value or just add complexity.”
Will AI integration disrupt our existing systems?
“No. Our adapter-based integration approach connects to your existing systems through APIs without requiring changes to your current infrastructure. We support REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and direct database connections, enabling rapid integration within 1-3 days for basic implementations. Your existing workflows continue operating normally while AI capabilities are added seamlessly alongside current functionality.”
How do we handle data security and compliance with AI systems?
“We implement enterprise-grade security including data encryption, secure API connections, and compliance frameworks for GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific regulations. AI processing can be configured for on-premises deployment, private cloud, or hybrid architectures based on your security requirements. We ensure no sensitive data is stored by external AI providers and maintain full audit trails for compliance documentation.”
What are RAG application development services?
“RAG application development services build software that answers questions from your own data by retrieving relevant passages first and generating an answer from them. The work covers data preparation, the retrieval pipeline, answer generation with sources, evaluation, and integration into the apps your users already work in.”
Is ChatGPT a RAG model?
“ChatGPT is an application built on a language model. By default, it answers from what the model learned in training, and features such as web search or file uploads add a form of retrieval.”
Is RAG still relevant, and what could replace it?
“Yes. Larger context windows let a model read more text at once, but sending a full knowledge base with every question is slow and expensive, and it still needs access control.”
What are the main types of RAG?
“The common types are basic RAG, with one search and one generation step; advanced RAG, which adds query rewriting, filters, and reranking; agentic RAG, where an agent decides when and where to search across several steps; and graph RAG, which retrieves through relationships between entities.”
How long does it take to build an AI chatbot?
“A focused chatbot with basic integrations takes 4–6 weeks from kickoff to production. Chatbots with several two-way integrations, custom data preparation, or compliance reviews can take 8–12 weeks and launch in phases. We confirm the timeline at the end of discovery, once the data sources and integrations are known.”
How much does it cost to develop an AI chatbot?
“The build cost depends on the number of integrations, the data that needs cleaning and structuring, and the channels and languages you need. Running cost depends on model usage, and routing simple questions to lighter models keeps it predictable. We give an estimate after discovery, with build and monthly running costs shown separately.”
Should we use GPT or an open-source model?
“Choose based on your data rules, request volume, and budget. OpenAI models perform well on general tasks but charge per token and process data on a third-party platform.”
What is included in your application performance optimization services?
“Our performance optimization services cover regular assessments, load testing, and fine-tuning of your application to prevent bottlenecks and support scalability. We proactively enhance speed, stability, and efficiency, allowing your application to handle increased user traffic seamlessly.”
How do you ensure our application remains secure and compliant?
“We conduct continuous security patching, vulnerability assessments, and compliance checks to protect your web app against emerging threats. By staying up-to-date with industry standards and conducting regular security reviews, we ensure application security, help safeguard sensitive data, and maintain user trust.”
Can you support our legacy systems and assist with modernization?
“Yes, we specialize in supporting legacy systems and guiding clients through modernization. We ensure your application remains reliable and provide solutions to gradually update its infrastructure, integrating new features and technologies at a pace that works for you.”
How do you handle debugging and bug resolution?
“Our debugging services include identifying and fixing root issues rather than temporary fixes. We systematically resolve bugs and conduct root cause analysis to prevent recurring issues, ensuring your application's stability and reliability.”
