What we get asked in the first conversation, answered before you have to ask.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope, and we give an estimate after a conversation about what needs solving. A bounded integration is days. An agent working on your own data is weeks.
Which models do you use?
Claude from Anthropic for what needs the most reasoning, Hermes from Nous Research for agents we run ourselves, and open-weight models like Mistral, Qwen and DeepSeek where everything has to stay on your own machine. For search, Nomic comes in on top for embedding and reranking. The model is chosen to fit the task, and we lock no solution to a single vendor, because price and quality move fast.
Can it use our own data?
Yes, that is the whole point. The data stays with you, and we use vendor settings where it is not used to train models.
What about personal data?
A data processing agreement, an EU or EEA region where the vendor offers one, and we do not send more personal data into the model than the task requires. Where the requirements are stricter we can run an open-weight model self-hosted, so that no data leaves the machine.
What if it answers wrong?
It is going to answer wrong. That is why we build with source citation, test sets and a human in the loop on anything with consequences.
What happens after launch?
We stay on. Models change, data changes, and an agent nobody maintains gets worse over time without anyone being told.
