AI Integration Retainer
Ongoing engineering and advisory support to continuously integrate AI capabilities into your existing systems, keep models up to date, and respond to emerging opportunities.
What this engagement is
AI is not a project with an end date. Models drift. New tools emerge. Your business evolves. Our Retainer keeps your AI systems performing, growing, and integrated with every new capability your team needs — without the overhead of hiring and managing an internal AI team. Most of our retainer clients come to us after completing a project engagement. They've seen what a focused, expert team can deliver, and they don't want to lose that momentum. Others come to us because they have an existing AI system that's underperforming and needs consistent, expert care. Either way, you get a dedicated engineering team that knows your systems, your data, and your business goals as well as you do.
How the engagement works
Sprint Planning
At the start of each month, we review performance metrics, prioritise the next sprint's integration work, and align on business objectives. You decide what gets built — we figure out how.
Engineering Delivery
Our team ships new integrations, model updates, and feature additions on a predictable weekly cadence. All work is tracked in a shared project board with daily async updates.
Monitoring & Maintenance
We monitor model performance, API reliability, and data pipeline health 24/7. Alerts fire to our team first — we investigate before you hear about it.
