AI product development · Built in India for US companies

# An AI product development agency for zero to one

We build AI products from zero to one, which is as much about what to cut as what to build. The most common failure is a product with four AI features that each work at 70%, when one working at 95% would have been the whole business.

Book a 30-min scoping call [See our work](https://foundrysoft.co/work)

No sales script. You talk to the engineers who'd build it.

9+ hrs

Timezone overlap

Our team works a shifted day so you get real-time standups and same-day turnarounds in your time zone, not next-morning replies.

100%

You own the IP

Every line of code, model weight, and prompt is yours from day one. NDAs and clean IP assignment are standard, not an upsell.

Senior

No juniors hidden on the bill

You work directly with the engineers building your system. No account managers sitting between you and the people writing code.

Weeks

To first deployment

We move from scoping to a working system in production in weeks. Most engagements ship something usable inside the first month.

## What we build

Concrete systems we ship, tuned to your data and your stack.

### Scope and cut

Deciding which AI feature is the product and which are distractions. This conversation is worth more than any amount of building.

### Design and build together

AI products live or die on how uncertainty is presented to the user, which is a design problem as much as an engineering one.

### Architecture that grows

Unit economics that still work at a hundred times current usage, since the first surprise bill tends to land during a fundraise.

### Launch instrumentation

The metrics that tell you whether people are getting value, not just whether they clicked the button.

## How we work

01

### Scope & evals

We pin down what success means and build the evaluation set before writing the feature, so quality is measured, not guessed.

02

### Build in the open

Weekly demos against real data. You see progress every week and can change direction before it gets expensive.

03

### Ship & instrument

We deploy with logging, cost tracking, and guardrails in place, then tune against production traffic.

04

### Hand off or stay

Take the keys with full docs, or keep us on for iteration. Either way you're never locked in.

## Questions, answered

### How do you handle AI features that are only sometimes right?

+

By designing for it in the interface. Showing confidence, making corrections cheap, and never presenting a guess with the same visual weight as a fact. Products that hide uncertainty lose trust faster than products that are occasionally wrong.

### How long to a launchable product?

+

For a focused first version, typically three to four months including design. Broader scopes take longer and usually should have been narrower.

### Can you work with our designers?

+

Yes, and we prefer it when the design team knows the domain. What we bring is the specific patterns for representing uncertainty, latency, and correction.

### What if the AI part turns out not to work?

+

We find that out in the first few weeks by building against real data, before it becomes the foundation of a product plan. That is the main reason we start there.

## Let's scope your build.

Tell us what you're trying to ship. We'll tell you honestly whether AI is the right tool and what it would take.
