02 — What we do

A full AI studio, shaped to your roadmap.

திண்ணைThinnai (n.) — the porch where ideas are thought out loud

We embed as your team. Scope a single sprint or an 18-month roadmap — senior engineers, ML researchers, and product designers plug into your stack from day one.

S / 01

Agent systems

Multi-step, tool-using agents that actually ship. Planning, memory, guardrails, evals — the boring parts done right.

  • Tool-use
  • Planning
  • Memory
  • Orchestration
  • Guardrails
S / 02

RAG & retrieval

Grounded answers over your corpus. Hybrid search, re-ranking, citations, access control — tuned to your latency and cost budget.

  • Hybrid search
  • Chunking
  • Re-ranking
  • Citations
  • ACL
S / 03

Custom ML models

When off-the-shelf models don't fit — classical ML, fine-tuning, distillation. From research spike to production endpoint.

  • Fine-tuning
  • Distillation
  • Classical ML
  • Evaluation
  • Serving
S / 04

Data pipelines

Ingestion, cleaning, labeling, vectorization — the unglamorous scaffolding that determines whether anything above it works.

  • ETL
  • Labeling
  • Vector stores
  • Streaming
  • Quality
S / 05

MLOps & infra

Observability, drift detection, cost monitoring, CI for models. We give you a spine that survives the second quarter.

  • Observability
  • Evals
  • CI / CD
  • Cost
  • Drift
S / 06

LLM integration

Embed foundation models into real products. Prompt engineering, routing, caching, structured output — wired into your stack.

  • Prompting
  • Routing
  • Caching
  • Structured output
  • Streaming
03 — How we work

From the porch to production, in five moves.

Week 0 — Discovery

We start where Tamil homes do — on the porch, in the open.

Two to three working sessions with your team. No decks, no NDAs-before-hello. We map the problem, name the unknowns, and agree on what “good” looks like — in plain language.

05 — Why outsource

Senior AI craft, without the hiring cycle.

V / 01

Ship in weeks, not quarters

Your first demo is live within 15 working days. We don't do discovery theatre — we do the work.

V / 02

Senior by default

Every engineer on your project has shipped production AI before. No juniors learning on your dime.

V / 03

Scales up and down

Need two engineers for a sprint or eight for a quarter? Same team, same context, different shape.

V / 04

You own the IP

Code, models, evals — yours from commit zero. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes, no licensing games.

V / 05

Evals come first

We don't ship AI without a measurement framework. If we can't prove it works, we don't claim it does.

V / 06

One fixed rate

Flat monthly engagement. No line-item surprises, no “scope change” invoices buried in the PDF.

06 — In their words

Teams who keep us on speed-dial.

They moved faster than our own team — and left us with code we could actually maintain. Rare combination.

The eval harness alone paid for the engagement. We stopped guessing whether our agents were getting better.

Felt like we'd hired four senior engineers on a two-week start date. That's basically what happened.
