AI Development Services

Matched to the Task, Not the Hype

We use AI tools to build apps and websites faster for Maryland businesses without cutting corners. Different parts of a project call for different strengths, so we match the tool to the job, and every line that ships is reviewed by an experienced developer. If you started a product with an AI builder and hit a wall, we audit it, fix what's broken and get it to launch.

Matched to the Task, Not the Hype

We don't use one AI tool for everything. Different parts of a Baltimore business's project call for different strengths, so we match the tool to the job.

Speed Without Shortcuts

AI development comes with real risks if it's not managed carefully. For Maryland businesses that means knowing where those risks are and designing around them:

AI Services โ€” AI can be confidently wrong icon

AI can be confidently wrong

Hallucinations are real. You still need someone who can look at the code and understand what it does.

AI Services โ€” planning cannot be skipped icon

Planning can't be skipped

A blueprint, not an architect. We focus heavily on the blueprint before a single line of code.

AI Services โ€” over-reliance icon

Over-reliance encourages shortcuts

If you don't understand the generated code, you can't maintain it. Our team must own the logic.

AI Services โ€” not every problem needs AI icon

Not every problem needs AI

Sometimes a simple CRUD app or direct logic is better. We choose the right tool, not the hype.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to reach out to us directly.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

We take on a variety of projects including web applications, mobile apps, prototyping, and AI integration. We specialize in building custom software to address specific business problems.

Do you work with startups, small businesses, or enterprises?

We work with all of them! Our flexible engagement models allow us to build everything from minimum viable products (MVPs) for startup, custom internal tools for small businesses and scalable enterprise applications.

Do you handle website hosting and maintenance after launch?

Yes, we provide optional hosting and maintenance services to ensure your website remains secure, up-to-date, and performs optimally over time. We have flexible post launch agreements called "Do Not Exceeds" budgets. This allows us to set a max amount of hours per month we can work, if you need us, but there's no requirements to "use it or lose it." Any hours left will just roll over to the following month. Our Startup clients love this flexibility.

How much does it cost to hire an app developer?

The cost ultimately will vary based on the features you need. We can tell you we've built very simple apps that take about a week up to extremely complex ones that took +6 months. Most apps we've built typically take a few hundred hours spent over the course of 3-4 months to design and build properly. We offer free consultations to understand your needs and provide a customized quote.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

Similar to web development, it depends on complexity. On average, a mobile app can take 3 to 6 months from initial design to launching on the App Store and Google Play.

Can you takeover my existing mobile app or website?

Absolutely. We often audit existing codebases and can take over maintenance, add new features, or entirely rebuild apps or websites that are struggling with performance issues. One of the things we pride ourselves on is having launched 100% of the projects we've built. Sadly, that's not very true for most other agencies where the project will fall apart before ever going live despite the client having spent 70% of their budget already.

Can you add AI features to my existing app or website?

Yes! We can integrate AI-driven functionalities like chatbots, recommendation engines, and data analytics into your existing platforms to enhance user experience. We've done this for many of our small businesses and startups since they are typically the first groups of companies experimenting with AI features.

Which AI technologies do you work with?

We work with leading AI companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google. We typically integrate their powerful Large Language Models (LLMs) and custom machine learning solutions into our clients' products. As a company ourselves, we are also using AI to speed up the development process for all of our clients via tools like Claude Code, Github Copilot, Cursor, Codex, and Google's Antigravity.

How much do you charge?

I hate to say it but, it depends. We price ourselves based on hourly rate x how many hours we think it'll take to build. If you reach out we'd love to get you a free accurate estimation for your project.

Do you only work with businesses in Baltimore, Frederick, and Providence?

No, those are just where our offices are located. Most of our projects are done remotely, so we work with clients across the country (and sometimes internationally). Our local offices just make it easy to meet in person if you're nearby.

Can you connect my app or website to the tools I already use?

Usually, yes. We regularly connect to tools like payment processors, accounting software, CRMs, email platforms, and scheduling tools. The main thing we check is whether the tool offers an API or an MCP server (standard ways for software, including AI tools, to talk to it), and most popular ones do. We also work with some of the most popular AI tools from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, and can connect them to the tools and data you already have. Tell us what you use today and we'll let you know what's possible.
