AI engineering for production

Your AI system, in production within 6 weeks — fully owned, with source code, models, and a team trained to run it

From prototype to production — on your infrastructure, under your rules.

We build the systems, not the slideware: retrieval platforms, vision inspection, forecasting engines and bounded agents. You get the source code, the weights and a team trained to run it.

6 weeks to first deployable · fixed scope · full source handover

Capabilities

Full-stack AI, not just a model

A model is maybe 20% of a working AI system. We build the other 80% — ingestion, retrieval, evaluation, serving, monitoring and the integration into the workflow where the value actually lands.

Engagement model

From problem to production, clearly

Five phases, six weeks to a first deployable, a named deliverable at every step. You always know what you are getting and when.

  1. Discover

    Find the problem worth solving and the number that proves it.

    Week 1

  2. Architect

    Design the system end to end before writing production code.

    Week 2

  3. Build

    Ship working software in weekly increments you can actually use.

    Weeks 3–4

  4. Validate

    Prove the system works before it touches a customer.

    Week 5

  5. Deploy & Scale

    Put it into production, then hand over the keys.

    Week 6+

Why clients keep the systems we build

  • 6 weeks to first deployable

    Fixed-scope engagements with weekly demos. You see working software in week three, not a deck.

  • Security & compliance first

    Your VPC, your on-prem hardware or fully air-gapped. SOC 2-aligned controls, DPAs, and no training on your data.

  • Owned, not rented

    You get the source code, the weights, the infrastructure-as-code and the documentation. No platform lock-in.

Integrations

We integrate with

We build on the platforms and model providers you already pay for — no new vendor to adopt, no data leaving the boundary you control.

  • AWS Cloud
  • Azure Cloud
  • GCP Cloud
  • OpenAI Models
  • Anthropic Models
  • Hugging Face Models
  • LangChain Tooling

How KODA compares

When you evaluate a custom AI partner, the differences matter

Most firms sell AI. We ship it — on your infrastructure, under your rules, with the source code in your hands in six weeks. Here is how that stacks up.

KODA

  • Six weeks to first deployable, fixed scope
  • Full source code, weights, infra — owned outright
  • Engineers who built production systems, not slide decks
  • Evaluation-first: measured against your metric, not a pitch
  • Your VPC, your on-prem, air-gapped — no data leaves your control

Big consultancies (McKinsey, Accenture, BCG X)

  • Strategy-heavy; you pay for layers of management before engineering
  • Retain IP and frameworks — leaving means rebuilding
  • Juniors staffed on your engagement, seniors in the sales meeting
  • Milestone-based delivery with scope creep built into the fee model

Generalist dev shops

  • Know code, not AI pipelines — no eval harness, no data strategy
  • Deliver code, not a running system with monitoring and training
  • Hourly billing incentivises the wrong thing: more hours
  • One-off builds with no handover; you depend on their team

DIY / in-house build

  • 12–18 months to production for the first system, when it works at all
  • Building the infrastructure team before building the system
  • Hard-won lessons repeated from scratch — no pattern library
  • Full cost of mistakes, false starts and pivots on your books

Not sure which bucket you are in? Read how our engagements work or book a 45-minute scoping call — no obligation, and we will tell you honestly if there is a system worth building.

Your AI system, in production within 6 weeks

Fixed scope, full source handover, on your infrastructure. A 45-minute conversation is usually enough to tell whether there is a system worth building.
