AI Integration

Put AI to work inside the product you already have. We add assistant access, retrieval, and automation on top of your Symfony domain, with evaluation, cost control, and security boundaries that make it safe to ship.

AI Integration

Does this sound familiar?

Every competitor announces an AI feature and the board asks why you have not. The proofs of concept demo well and then stall, because nobody can answer what they cost per request, what they do with customer data, or what happens when the model is wrong.

A proof of concept that impressed everyone and then never reached production
No clear answer to where customer data goes when a prompt is sent to a model
AI bolted on as a separate service that drifts from your real domain
A per-request cost that nobody measures until the invoice arrives
No way to tell whether a prompt change made the output better or worse
Pressure to ship an assistant with no boundary on what it may do

Find the real use case, design the boundary, integrate into your stack

01

Discover

We start with the workflow, not the model. We find where AI removes real effort in drafting, classification, retrieval, and triage, and where it adds risk for no gain, so you invest in the use cases that pay back.

  • Use-case shortlist ranked by value and feasibility
  • Data-sensitivity review of every input a model would see
  • A build-versus-buy call on models and vendors
  • A cost-per-request estimate before a line of code
02

Design

We design the integration as part of your domain instead of a bolt-on. Retrieval over your own data, a clear boundary for what the model can read and do, and an evaluation harness so quality is measured rather than felt.

  • Retrieval over your existing data, not a copy into a vendor you cannot audit
  • A tool and action boundary defined per authenticated user
  • An evaluation set and metrics agreed before launch
  • Fallback behaviour for when the model is unavailable or wrong
03

Integrate

We build it into your Symfony application, reusing the repositories, value objects, and security you already trust. MCP servers where assistants need access, queued workers for heavy calls, and observability from the first request.

  • AI features shipped inside your app, not a parallel codebase
  • An MCP server exposing a small, audited set of tools
  • Heavy model calls moved to Messenger workers with retries and limits
  • Per-request cost, latency, and failure rate on a dashboard

What you walk away with

AI Opportunity Assessment

A ranked shortlist of use cases with value, feasibility, and data sensitivity for each, plus a build-versus-buy recommendation and a cost-per-request estimate. The document that turns board pressure into a fundable plan.

Assessment

Production MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server built on your Symfony domain, exposing a small and audited set of tools with authorisation per user, input validation, and logging, so assistants can act on your systems without a blank cheque.

Build

Guardrails and Evaluation

An evaluation harness with a versioned test set and metrics, prompt-injection and authorisation boundaries, plus cost and rate controls, so you can change prompts and models on evidence instead of vibes.

Quality

Team Enablement

Your engineers paired through the integration, with the patterns, the evaluation workflow, and the security checklist documented as the reference they use for the next AI feature without us.

Common questions

01 Do we need our own model, or can we use an API?

Most teams should start with a hosted model API and only consider self-hosting when data residency, cost at scale, or latency forces it. We make that call with you on numbers rather than fashion, and design the integration so the model is a swappable dependency, not a foundation.

02 What happens to our customer data?

That is the first thing we pin down. We map every input a model would see, decide what may leave your infrastructure and what must not, and prefer retrieval over your own data to copying it into a vendor you cannot audit. The data boundary is a design input, not an afterthought.

03 How do we know the AI output is actually good?

We build an evaluation set before launch, a versioned collection of real inputs with expected outcomes, and measure every prompt or model change against it. You stop arguing about whether the output feels better and start seeing whether it scored better.

04 Is this just chatbots?

Rarely. The highest-value work is usually quieter, in classification, retrieval, drafting, triage, and giving an assistant safe access to your systems through an MCP server. A chat window is one interface, and often not the one that pays back first.

05 Can you work with our existing Symfony application?

Yes, that is the point. We build AI features inside your app, reusing your repositories, value objects, and security, so the integration shares the code you already trust instead of drifting as a separate service that nobody maintains.
