RAG Knowledge Assistants
Chatbots and Q&A assistants that answer from your documents, wikis, tickets, and product data — with citations, not guesses. We handle ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and grounded generation.
We design and ship retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, AI assistants, and agentic workflows that run reliably in production — grounded in your own content, integrated with your existing stack, and engineered to control cost, latency, and hallucination. From first proof-of-concept to scaled, monitored deployment, we own the full lifecycle.
End-to-end engineering across the AI lifecycle — from data pipelines to evaluation and MLOps.
Chatbots and Q&A assistants that answer from your documents, wikis, tickets, and product data — with citations, not guesses. We handle ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and grounded generation.
Semantic and hybrid search for e-commerce and content platforms: natural-language discovery, "more like this" recommendations, and AI merchandising that lifts conversion. Built to plug into Magento, Shopify, and WordPress.
LLM pipelines that read invoices, contracts, forms, and reports and turn them into structured, validated data — with confidence scoring and human-in-the-loop review for the cases that need it.
Multi-step AI agents that take action across your systems — calling APIs, querying databases, and orchestrating tools to complete real tasks. We design the guardrails, retries, and fallbacks that make autonomy safe.
Integrate frontier and open-weight models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Llama, Mistral) with prompt engineering, structured outputs, and fine-tuning where it earns its cost. Vendor-neutral — we recommend what fits your targets.
The unglamorous work that keeps AI trustworthy: evaluation harnesses, regression tests for prompts and retrieval, observability, cost and token monitoring, and CI/CD for model changes. We make AI measurable.
A disciplined path from raw data to a monitored production system.
We map your knowledge sources, data quality, access patterns, and success metrics before writing a line of code.
Document parsing, cleaning, chunking strategy, embedding model selection, and vector index design.
Hybrid (semantic + keyword) retrieval, re-ranking, metadata filtering, and context assembly tuned for your content.
Grounded prompting, citation enforcement, structured outputs, and hallucination controls.
Golden datasets, automated accuracy and faithfulness scoring, and human review loops before launch.
Scalable serving, caching, cost controls, observability, and continuous evaluation in production.

A B2B software company's support agents were spending hours hunting through thousands of help articles, release notes, and internal runbooks scattered across multiple systems. Answer quality varied by agent, onboarding took months, and ticket resolution times were climbing as the product grew.
We built a retrieval-augmented assistant that answers agent and customer questions directly from the company's own knowledge sources, with every answer linked to its source document. A scheduled ingestion pipeline keeps answers current as the product evolves.
Stack: Python, FastAPI, OpenAI + open-weight embeddings, Qdrant vector store, hybrid retrieval with re-ranking, Langfuse for tracing and evaluation, AWS serverless deployment.
| Metric | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Average ticket resolution time | Reduced by ~40% |
| First-response accuracy | Improved, with source citations on every answer |
| New-agent ramp-up | Cut from months to weeks |
| Answer grounding | Traceable to source — near-zero unsupported claims in eval |
An online retailer with a large, fast-changing catalog was losing sales to poor on-site search. Shoppers searching in natural language ("lightweight waterproof jacket for hiking") got weak keyword-only results, and the "related products" widget showed irrelevant items. Search-exit rates were high and conversion from search was below benchmark.
We layered semantic search and embedding-based recommendations onto the existing storefront without replatforming. Product data was enriched and embedded so the catalog became searchable by meaning, and recommendations were driven by genuine product similarity and behavioral signals.
Stack: Node.js, Python embedding pipeline, pgvector + OpenSearch hybrid index, Redis caching, storefront integration via REST API; built to slot into Magento / Shopify front-ends.
| Metric | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Search-to-conversion rate | Increased by ~25% |
| Search-exit (zero-result) rate | Reduced significantly |
| Average order value | Lifted via relevant recommendations |
| Time to deploy | Live in 8 weeks, no replatforming |
A finance operations team was manually keying data from thousands of invoices and supporting documents each month. The documents arrived in inconsistent formats from many vendors, manual entry was slow and error-prone, and exceptions piled up — creating a bottleneck that scaled linearly with volume.
We built an LLM-based extraction pipeline that reads incoming documents, extracts the required fields into a validated structured schema, and flags only genuinely ambiguous cases for human review. Confident extractions flow straight through; only edge cases reach a person.
Stack: Python, document parsing + OCR, LLM extraction with structured outputs and schema validation, confidence scoring, PostgreSQL, queue-based processing, audit logging for compliance.
| Metric | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Manual data-entry effort | Reduced by ~80% |
| Straight-through processing | Majority of documents fully automated |
| Extraction accuracy | High, with confidence-gated human review |
| Processing throughput | Scales with volume without added headcount |
A growing company ran a repetitive, multi-step back-office process spanning several internal tools — gathering information, cross-checking records, drafting responses, and updating systems. The work was rules-based but too nuanced for traditional automation, and it consumed a large share of the team's time.
We designed an AI agent that executes the workflow end to end, calling internal APIs and databases to gather and verify information, then drafting outputs and updating records — with guardrails, approval gates, and full traceability. The agent operates within defined boundaries, escalates anything outside its confidence range, and logs every action for audit.
Stack: Python, agent orchestration framework, tool/function calling, PostgreSQL, secure API integrations, LangSmith/Langfuse tracing, containerized deployment on Kubernetes.
| Metric | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Time spent on the process | Reduced by ~60% |
| Throughput | Higher, with consistent quality |
| Error rate | Lowered via step-level validation |
| Auditability | Every action logged and replayable |
