Custom AI builds

A custom AI build is a model or agent designed for one job in your business, trained or fine-tuned on your data, and measured against a definition of done agreed before the build starts. It runs inside your systems and your team operates it.

Start here if
An AI product that needs to ship
You get
An application your team can run
  • Generic tools at 83% that still need a person on every output.
  • Vendor APIs your data cannot legally reach.
  • Pilots that never reach production.

AI workflow automation

AI workflow automation takes a process your team already runs and already budgets for, and runs it with fewer hands and fewer errors, without replacing the systems it lives in. Agents handle the repetitive and judgment-heavy steps; people keep the decisions that need them.

Start here if
Repetitive work filling the queue
You get
Agents handle routine work; people handle exceptions
  • Hundreds of people-hours in data entry and document handling.
  • Integrations that break when a system changes.
  • "Automation" that forces the process to change first.

On-premise and private AI

On-premise AI deployment runs fine-tuned models entirely inside your own infrastructure or private cloud. No data leaves your perimeter, there is no third-party API in the loop, and the model weights are yours to reuse across future projects.

Start here if
Sensitive data inside your perimeter
You get
Models running on your infrastructure
  • Regulated data that cannot go to a vendor.
  • Per-call API cost at volume.
  • Vendor lock-in on the model.

AI consultancy

AI consultancy at Ideolyst is a fixed-fee, one-to-two-week process mapping that tells you where AI genuinely fits in your operation, where it does not, and what the first build should be. You get a written map, use cases ranked by return, and a quote. You can take it to anyone.

Start here if
Unsure where AI will pay off
You get
A ranked shortlist and a fixed-scope plan
  • AI strategy decks with no build behind them.
  • Vendors who say yes to everything.

Where AI does not fit, we say so in writing. That judgment is the first thing we deliver.

What are packaged AI engines?

Some problems repeat across clients, so we package them as engines you deploy in your VPC or on-prem and pay for by volume. Real-time invoice parsing and validation for supply-chain finance: varied invoice layouts and handwritten tier-3 bills, three-way PO/GRN/invoice match, duplicate and tamper checks, sub-second against 30 seconds to 3 minutes for legacy async queues, 50–60% lower cost per invoice than template OCR (benchmarked on representative sets). Bank-statement analysis for underwriting as a companion.

Proof of value on your own documents in under a day → pilot weeks 1–4 → production weeks 4–8 → scale with volume-tiered, pay-per-use minimums.

Frameworks we bring

For hospital outpatient departments we bring a service-design framework: multi-channel access, live queue with position and time, AI scribe, 12+ Indic languages, HL7/FHIR connectors, on-prem or government cloud. Its figures are benchmarks from published literature, labelled as such, until a hospital runs it.

How long does a custom AI build take?

Typically about three months from the start of Advise, depending on scope and data readiness. Advise takes one to two weeks, Prove three to four weeks, and Go live about two months.

One accountable founder on every build.

The person who scopes it signs it off.

Ownership and handover.

Custom-build code, the weights we train for you and your data are handed over in your repositories. Packaged engines are priced by usage; confirm their deliverables and terms separately.

Each phase is quoted after we understand the workflow, data, integrations and deployment needs. Packaged engines use volume-based pricing.

What every build ships with

Observability and an eval set

Every model we deliver comes with an evaluation set, a trace of every decision, and alerting, so your team can see when it drifts. We are packaging this layer as a product; it is currently in build.

Security posture

Deployment inside your perimeter, PII masked before any model, internal VAPT before go-live, NDAs as standard. No certification is claimed.

Straight answers

How long does a typical engagement take?

Typically about three months from the start of Advise, depending on scope and data readiness: Advise one to two weeks; Prove three to four weeks; Go live about two months.

Do you need our data to leave our environment?

No. We build and deploy inside your infrastructure.

Who owns the model and code?

For custom builds, the code, the weights we train for you and your data are handed over to your team. Packaged engines use volume-based pricing; confirm their deliverables and usage terms when scoping the engagement.

What if AI doesn't fit our process?

We tell you in the advisory report and you pay only that fee.

Which industries has the team delivered in?

The six builds published here span insurance, logistics, e-commerce, investment research and consumer-services marketplaces; the wider 18+ solutions span five industries.

What happens after go-live?

Six months included: defects fixed at no cost; changes and new scope are quoted. Documentation and training are included. A retainer after that is optional.
