Generative AI Development
Let people ask questions, understand documents and prepare drafts inside your software. We build generative AI features around your business information, with source references, access controls and a clear path to human help.
Discuss this serviceYour information is useful only if people can find the answer
A customer receives a detailed report but still needs someone to explain it. An employee searches several folders for a policy. A support team rewrites the same explanation for each enquiry. These are practical starting points for generative AI.
We can add a document assistant to a portal, turn a long report into a readable summary or prepare a draft response for someone to review. Ask Joe is our product example for questions about a user's report.
Connect the answer to the right information
Many of these applications use retrieval-augmented generation, usually called RAG. The application finds relevant material before asking the model to compose a response. That gives us a way to connect an answer to your documents and show where the information came from.
The surrounding application matters just as much. A customer must only retrieve their own records. Outdated documents need replacing. If the available information cannot answer a question, the interface needs a useful next step instead of presenting a guess as a fact.
Test the questions your users will actually ask
We build a test set from realistic questions, including ambiguous requests and questions the system should not answer. We review source accuracy, missing information, response time and the cost of each interaction.
Start with one document type or a defined knowledge collection. It makes the results easier to assess before extending the feature across the business. AI-generated answers still need appropriate checking, particularly when they influence a professional decision.
A typical workflow
- 01Open an approved document
- 02Ask a question in plain English
- 03Review the answer and source
What we would scope together
The exact work depends on your systems and the first useful release.
- ✓Document intake, search and approved knowledge sources
- ✓Assistant or generation feature connected to your application
- ✓Permissions, source references and an escalation path
- ✓Evaluation questions, cost visibility and deployment documentation
Generative AI Development questions
Do we need to train our own AI model?
Usually not for document questions or summaries. Connecting an existing model to the right information is often the first option to test. Fine-tuning is a separate decision for a specific need.
Can users upload private documents?
We first agree the data handling requirements, model provider and access controls. Storage, retention and provider settings must match the sensitivity of the documents.
What happens when the source material changes?
The system needs a defined way to update or remove content from its search index. We plan that process so answers are based on the intended document version, with tests for the important questions.

What information do your users struggle to understand?
Share a safe sample document and a few questions people ask about it. We can discuss whether an assistant, a summary or a simpler search tool fits.
