Enterprise AI development that ships in months, not years

An AI development company designs, builds, and deploys AI systems on your data and infrastructure. At EdgeFirm that covers four practice areas:

• 01Custom LLM applications: assistants and RAG systems grounded in your documents and data
• 02Intelligent process automation: customer service, reporting, and document workflows
• 03Decision intelligence: analytics your team can query in plain language
• 04AI agents: systems that plan, use tools, and act across your platforms

The difference from a consultancy is that we write and ship the code ourselves, and you own all of it at the end of the engagement.

Three reasons:

• 01We're technical founders, not a sales team passing requirements to developers. No communication overhead.
• 02We build for production from day one, not endless pilots. Your MVP is scalable code, not a prototype.
• 03We use proven frameworks (LangChain, OpenAI, AWS) instead of building everything custom. We innovate on your business logic, not infrastructure.

Most agencies pad timelines to justify higher fees. We move fast because we can, and because waiting 18 months for AI is how you lose to competitors.

We break it into phases. Example: Instead of an 18-month "AI transformation," we deliver:

• 01Months 1-4: Automate your #1 pain point, measure ROI
• 02Months 5-8: Scale to next 3 use cases based on learnings
• 03Months 9-12: Full enterprise deployment

You get value every 4 months instead of nothing for 18 months. And if phase 1 doesn't deliver ROI, you can stop before phase 2. That's the honest approach.

We integrate with what you have.

• 01Your team uses Salesforce, SAP, and custom internal tools? Perfect. We'll connect to them via APIs.
• 02You have data in 5 different databases? We'll unify it without migrating everything.
• 03You're on AWS but considering Azure? We're cloud-agnostic.

We only recommend "rip and replace" when your existing system is actively blocking progress. And we'll prove it with data before suggesting it.

You own everything: code, data, infrastructure, IP. Three options for ongoing support:

• 01Full handoff: We train your team, document everything, you manage it internally. (30 days post-launch support included)
• 02Retainer support: We monitor performance, add features, handle emergencies. (15-20% of project cost/year)
• 03Full managed service: We run it as your outsourced AI team. (Custom pricing)

Most clients start with option 1 and move to option 2 after 6-12 months when they want to add features.

Security and compliance are built in from week one, not added later. Our standard practices:

For regulated industries (finance, healthcare), we work with your compliance team from day one to ensure we meet your specific requirements. We also sign NDAs and BAAs as standard practice.

Our projects typically range from $50K to $200K depending on complexity. Factors that affect pricing:

• 01Number of systems to integrate
• 02Data volume and complexity
• 03Compliance requirements
• 04Team training needs
• 05Ongoing support model

We provide detailed ROI projections during the discovery phase. Most clients see payback in 12-18 months. Unlike hourly billing, we quote fixed-price for defined scope. You know the total investment upfront.

Yes. Our distributed team provides coverage across all major timezones.

For critical projects, we assign a dedicated engineer in your timezone for real-time collaboration. All communication happens via Slack/Teams (your choice), with daily standups and weekly stakeholder reviews.
