Agentic workflows
Multi-step LLM agents with tool use, function-calling, OpenAI / Anthropic SDK choice, and per-step evaluation.
AI MVP in 2–6 weeks
Fixed-scope AI MVPs from $25k. We evaluate against your real data before go-live.
Enterprise-grade Next.js

Frequently asked questions
Do you have a San Francisco office?
No — our two offices are the Coimbatore engineering hub and the Dubai Silicon Oasis MENA office. Srijith is in the Bay Area about once a quarter for client visits. For Bay Area engagements we run PT-aligned daily syncs and travel for kickoff and quarterly reviews.
Why work with you vs a local SF agency?
SF agencies typically charge $250–$350/hr per senior engineer. We charge $10k/month all-in for a senior engineer at 6–10 years of experience, CTO-supervised. The trade-off: not in your building. The win: same delivery quality at a third the cost, with no body-shop turnover.
AI work specifically?
Most SF engagements with us are AI — RAG, copilots, document intelligence, agentic workflows. We deploy to your AWS / Azure / GCP, evaluate with your data, and instrument production guardrails.
Time-zone overlap?
PT-aligned daily standups (typically 9am PT). The engineering work runs overnight in IST and lands on your desk for the morning review. Most clients prefer this — it's asynchronous by default with a synchronous safety net.
Do you take YC-batch / accelerator-resident engagements?
Yes. We've worked with YC-batch and Techstars-backed founders. We can sign your standard accelerator-friendly MSA and respect the IP-assignment expectations that follow.
