AI Development & Implementation
Practical AI that ships and scales
We build AI into real enterprise software using Microsoft's AI platform. From RAG-powered search and generative features to autonomous agents and multi-agent orchestrations. Not proofs of concept that gather dust, but production AI that delivers measurable business value.
AI capabilities across the spectrum
From generative AI features and intelligent automation to agentic AI and multi-agent systems. We build AI where it delivers proven value, connected to your data and integrated with your systems.
Generative AI Features
Document generation, content summarisation, intelligent chat interfaces, and natural language querying built on Azure OpenAI Service. We build generative AI that is grounded in your data, not generic model outputs.
Intelligent Automation
Workflow automation, decision support, and document processing powered by AI. Reduce manual effort, accelerate decision-making, and free your teams to focus on high-value work.
AI-Enhanced Applications
Recommendations, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, and smart search embedded into your existing or new applications. AI that improves the software your people already use.
Agentic AI and Multi-Agent Systems
Autonomous AI agents that reason, plan, and execute multi-step tasks across your systems. We build single agents for focused automation and multi-agent orchestrations where several specialised agents collaborate to solve complex workflows. Built on Semantic Kernel and Azure OpenAI with tool-calling, MCP integration, and human-in-the-loop controls.
Copilot Extensions
Microsoft 365 Copilot extensions and custom copilots built with Copilot Studio. We connect Copilot to your enterprise data and systems so it works with your context, not just general knowledge.
Built on the enterprise AI stack you can trust
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we build on the Azure AI platform. Your data stays in your tenancy, your compliance requirements are met, and you get access to the latest models as they ship.
Azure OpenAI Service
Enterprise-grade access to GPT models with full data sovereignty. Your data stays within your Azure tenancy and is never used to train public models.
Azure AI Search (RAG)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation connects your AI to internal knowledge bases, documents, and databases for accurate, context-aware responses.
Copilot Studio
Build custom copilots that integrate with Microsoft 365, Dynamics, and your own systems. Low-code orchestration with enterprise security built in.
Semantic Kernel
Microsoft's open-source SDK for building AI agents and multi-agent orchestrations in C#/.NET. We use it for tool-calling, planning, memory, and agent coordination across complex enterprise workflows.
Azure AI Document Intelligence
Extract structured data from documents, invoices, contracts, and forms. Automate data entry and document processing at scale.
Azure AI Foundry
The unified platform for building, evaluating, and deploying AI models. We use it for prompt engineering, model evaluation, and responsible AI testing.
Responsible AI for real organisations
Enterprise AI must be secure, cost-effective, and reliable. We address the concerns that matter most to CIOs, CTOs, and procurement teams.
Data privacy and residency
Azure OpenAI keeps your data within your chosen Azure region. No data leaves your tenancy, and nothing is used to train public models. For regulated industries, this is non-negotiable.
Responsible AI principles
We follow Microsoft's Responsible AI framework: fairness, reliability, privacy, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability. Every AI feature includes evaluation criteria and human-in-the-loop controls where needed.
Cost management
AI workloads can become expensive without proper architecture. We design for cost efficiency: caching, token optimisation, tiered model selection, and monitoring dashboards that keep spending predictable.
Production-grade reliability
AI features must be as reliable as the rest of your application. We implement retry logic, fallback strategies, output validation, and comprehensive logging so AI failures are handled gracefully.
From assessment to production AI
We follow a structured approach that validates value quickly, then builds production-grade AI features in agile sprints.
AI Opportunity Assessment
We analyse your business workflows, data assets, and strategic goals using a task-based evaluation framework. You receive a prioritised roadmap of AI opportunities ranked by business impact, technical feasibility, and implementation effort.
Proof of Concept
We build a focused proof of concept that validates the approach with your real data. This gives you tangible evidence of value and surfaces any data quality or integration challenges before full delivery begins.
Build & Integration
Production AI development in agile sprints. We integrate AI capabilities into your existing or new applications, with security, compliance, and responsible AI controls embedded throughout. AI-augmented development tools accelerate our own delivery alongside the AI features we build for you.
Launch & Evolve
After deployment, we monitor performance, gather feedback, and iterate. Our model-agnostic architecture means you can adopt newer, better models as they emerge without rebuilding your solution. Managed support keeps your AI features running reliably.

Frequently asked questions
How much does AI software development cost?
AI projects range from £30,000 for a focused proof of concept to £300,000+ for enterprise-wide AI integration. Costs depend on the complexity of the use case, data readiness, and integration requirements. We provide a detailed estimate after the AI Opportunity Assessment. See our pricing guide for more detail.
What is RAG and do I need it?
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) connects an AI model to your own data so it can give accurate, context-aware answers instead of relying on general knowledge. If your use case involves answering questions about internal documents, policies, or data, RAG is almost certainly the right approach. It is how we build most enterprise AI features.
Can AI be integrated into our existing software?
Yes. Most of our AI work involves adding intelligent features to existing applications, not building standalone AI products. We integrate via APIs, so AI capabilities can be added to web apps, mobile apps, internal tools, and enterprise systems without a full rebuild.
What's the difference between Copilot and custom AI?
Microsoft 365 Copilot provides AI assistance within Microsoft apps (Word, Teams, Outlook). Custom AI is purpose-built for your specific business processes and data. They complement each other: Copilot handles general productivity, while custom AI handles domain-specific tasks that generic tools cannot. We build both, and we extend Copilot with your data using Copilot Studio.
What is agentic AI and how is it different from a chatbot?
A chatbot responds to a single prompt and returns an answer. An AI agent can reason, plan, and execute multi-step tasks autonomously: calling APIs, querying databases, making decisions, and coordinating with other agents. Agentic AI is suited to workflows that involve multiple steps across multiple systems, such as processing a claim, onboarding a customer, or generating a report from several data sources. We build agents on Semantic Kernel with tool-calling and human-in-the-loop controls for enterprise safety.
