How long does a custom AI app build take?

Custom builds typically take 4–12 weeks depending on complexity. We handle design, development, training, and deployment. You own the final software.

Do I own the AI app after it's built?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

What if I'm not ready for a full build?

Accepted Answer

Start with an AI Opportunity Audit ($3,500). We'll show you exactly where AI can help, estimate ROI, and create a roadmap. You can then decide if a custom build makes sense for your business.

Do you offer ongoing support after the build?

Yes. We offer Support & Evolution packages starting at $750–$3,000/month. This includes updates, troubleshooting, strategic guidance, and ongoing improvements to your AI system.
