Your AI demo wowed the room. Production killed it.
Real users, real data and real costs break demo-grade AI. We ship LLM systems that hold — evals, guardrails, and costs you can predict.
Where demo-grade AI breaks
The demo was the easy part. These are the four walls it hits in production.
Real users, real inputs
The demo saw curated prompts. Production sees typos, edge cases, and adversarial nonsense — and answers all of them confidently.
Costs went vertical
Every request hits the largest model with the longest prompt. Finance noticed before engineering did.
Nobody can say if it's better
Prompt tweaks ship on vibes. Without an eval suite, every fix is a coin flip that might break three other answers.
One bad answer from a headline
There's nothing between the model and your customers. Legal has questions; so far, luck is the answer.
From demo-grade to production-grade
The order matters: measure first, then guard, then optimize.
Evals before fixes
We turn 'it seems better' into a scored suite that runs on every change. Regressions get caught in CI, not in support tickets.
Guardrails and fallbacks
Input handling, output validation, graceful degradation — engineered for the path your worst user takes, not your best demo.
Cost architecture
Model routing, caching, right-sizing. Per-request economics you can predict and defend in a board meeting.
Production monitoring
Tracing, drift alerts, feedback loops. You see failures before your users screenshot them.

“Amin was incredible to work with. He paid particular attention to my actual business needs. Investigating the larger context as to why this was needed so that he delivered the right solution to us. Would hire again 100%!”
