Ask the tough questions.
We’ve heard every reason people hesitate to own their AI stack. Here’s the unfiltered truth about cost, support, and what happens if we disappear.
Questions You're Probably Asking
Here are the honest answers. No marketing fluff.
You shouldn't blindly. Here's what you CAN verify: We give you all the source code. You can audit every line. You deploy it on YOUR infrastructure. We have zero ongoing access unless you explicitly grant it. And you can disconnect from us anytime. That's not trust—that's transparency.
We deploy it for you. We document everything in plain English. And because you own the code, you can hire any developer to maintain it—not just us. It's standard Python/Node.js, not some exotic framework.
Yes. Actually yes. It's yours. We include architecture documentation, inline comments, and explanations of why we built it the way we did. Want to add a feature? Change behavior? Integrate with something else? Go ahead. Or hire someone. Or come back to us. Your choice.
Nothing. You have all the code. All the documentation. It keeps running on your infrastructure. That's the entire point. You're not dependent on our continued existence.
Depends how long you use it. If you're only going to use AI tools for 3 months, subscriptions are probably cheaper. If you're going to use them for years? The math is obvious. Our typical break-even point is 6-18 months depending on project size.
You can switch AI providers. The code we write uses standard APIs. Want to move from OpenAI to Claude? Usually takes a couple hours. Want to use a local model? We show you how. You own the integration layer—that's what matters.
No. Here's why: We spend weeks building custom software for your specific problem. If we've done our job (confirmed in the quiz and consultation), it works. If you decide you don't want to use it after we've built it—that's on you, not us. We're honest about fit BEFORE taking your money.
Yes, but we charge hourly. We're not trying to trap you in a support contract. Most clients don't need ongoing support because we document everything thoroughly. But if you want help? We're available. Just not mandatory.
Repetitive tasks where the logic is clear. Email triage. Customer support FAQs. Document summarization. Data extraction. Content generation with templates. What we CAN'T do: Complex human judgment. Ambiguous decision-making. Creative strategy. If your task is 'figure out how to grow our business,' AI can't do that. But if it's 'answer these 15 questions we get asked 100 times/day'—yeah, we can automate that.
Typically 4-6 weeks from payment to deployment. Could be 2 weeks for something simple (email categorization). Could be 8 weeks for something complex (multi-step workflow automation). We tell you the timeline upfront. No surprises.
You need somewhere to run it. Could be a $5/month VPS. Could be your existing AWS account. Could be a computer in your office. We're flexible. We just won't host it for you because that creates the dependency we're trying to avoid.
We show you working prototypes DURING development (not after). You see what you're getting before final delivery. If something isn't working right at launch, we fix it—that's included. But 'I changed my mind about what I want' after we've built it? That's a change request, not a bug fix.
If it has an API or webhook, probably yes. If it's a locked-down proprietary system with no integration options, probably no. The quiz will help us figure out if your specific stack is integration-friendly.
It never leaves your infrastructure (except API calls to the AI provider you choose). We don't see it. We don't store it. We don't have access to it. Unless you specifically want us to for debugging—and even then, only with your explicit permission.
You can! For one-off tasks, that's often the right answer. But if you're copying-and-pasting the same thing 20 times a day, or you need it integrated with your existing tools, or your team needs a simple interface—that's when custom integration makes sense. We're not selling AI. We're selling the plumbing.
