The stack behind production AI

We're model- and vendor-agnostic. Every engagement uses the tools that best fit the problem — and leaves your team with code they can read, run, and extend.

What we work with

Six pillars of the modern AI stack

LLMs & Agentic Frameworks

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight models orchestrated with LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and custom agent runtimes to fit each problem.

Retrieval & Knowledge

Vector stores (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate), hybrid search, and structured retrieval so your agents ground answers in your data — not the open web.

Workflow Orchestration

Durable pipelines with Temporal, Prefect, or n8n; tool-calling agents that safely span APIs, databases, and human approvals.

Governance & Evaluation

Guardrails, tracing (LangSmith, Langfuse), red-teaming, and eval harnesses so behavior is measurable before and after launch.

Cloud & Deployment

AWS, GCP, Azure, and Cloudflare Workers — containerized services, serverless functions, and edge-deployed frontends chosen to match your team's stack.

Product Engineering

TypeScript, React, Python, and FastAPI for user-facing surfaces; PostgreSQL and Supabase for data; clean, documented code your team can own.

The full picture

How the pieces fit together

A production AI system is more than a model. It's a stack of specialized layers plus a set of cross-cutting components that keep the system safe, fast, and observable.

Cross-cutting components

Common agentic building blocks

RAG

Retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that inject grounded context into every model call.

Retrieval

Hybrid semantic + keyword search across your documents, databases, and APIs.

Tool Calling

Structured function calls that let the model act on systems, not just describe them.

Planning

Multi-step task decomposition so agents can tackle work that spans several actions.

Orchestration

Durable coordination across models, tools, humans, and long-running workflows.

Memory

Short- and long-term memory for sessions, users, and evolving domain knowledge.

Guardrails

Policy, safety, and schema enforcement on inputs and outputs before they reach production.

Evaluation / Monitoring

Traces, evals, and dashboards that keep quality measurable after launch — not just at demo time.

Prompt Management

Versioned prompts and templates you can test, roll back, and improve without redeploying.

Caching

Response, embedding, and retrieval caches that cut latency and cost at scale.

How we choose

Principles that guide the toolkit

Right-sized models

We pick the smallest, cheapest model that solves the job, then scale up only where quality demands it.

Portable by design

No lock-in to a single vendor. Abstractions and infrastructure-as-code make it easy for your team to swap providers later.

Production-first

Observability, testing, and CI/CD are wired in from week one — not bolted on after a prototype ships.

Curious whether your stack fits?

We meet teams where they are — cloud provider, database, or preferred model. Let's talk through what you already have and where AI adds the most leverage.
