AI agents that leverage your business data for contextualized, sourced answers
Why AI chatbots fail without a RAG and data strategy
Deploying an LLM without anchoring it in your business data is investing in a well-spoken parrot that makes up answers. The failures are predictable:

What AI infrastructure for your RAG system?
The choice of model and infrastructure depends on your constraints: data confidentiality, inference volumes, budget, and desired level of control. We design the most suitable architecture — often hybrid.
OpenAI / GPT
- Top-performing models for content generation and reasoning (GPT-4o, o3)
- Complete ecosystem: API, fine-tuning, assistants, function calling
- Native multimodal (text, image, audio, vision) — ideal for document analysis
- High-performance embeddings for RAG vector databases (text-embedding-3)
- High costs at scale (per-token pricing, inference + embeddings)
- Data sent to OpenAI servers (unless enterprise opt-out or Azure OpenAI)
- Strong vendor lock-in on proprietary APIs
- Variable latency under load — problematic for real-time agents
Claude / Anthropic
- Very large context window (200K tokens) — ideal for RAG with long contexts
- Safety-first approach, reliable responses with low hallucination rate
- Excellent at document analysis, complex reasoning, and structured synthesis
- Claude Agent SDK for orchestrating multi-step AI agents in production
- Narrower integration ecosystem than OpenAI
- No publicly accessible fine-tuning (prompt engineering only)
- More recent enterprise adoption (but growing rapidly)
- Third-party embeddings required (Cohere, Voyage AI, or open-source)
Open-Source (Mistral / LLaMA / Qwen)
- Full control over model and data — no data leaves your infrastructure
- Fine-tuning possible on your business data for specialized performance
- On-premise deployment, private VPC, or sovereign cloud
- Predictable costs at scale (no per-token cost, fixed GPU)
- Requires ML/MLOps expertise and GPU infrastructure (A100, H100)
- Lower performance than proprietary models on some general tasks
- Complex and costly fine-tuning and RLHF (compute and annotated data)
- Model maintenance and updates are your responsibility
Cloud AI (AWS Bedrock / GCP Vertex AI)
- Integrated with your existing cloud infrastructure and data pipelines
- Managed services: scaling, monitoring, enterprise security, native audit trail
- Certified compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR) — essential for sensitive data
- Multi-model access via unified API (Claude, Mistral, LLaMA, Titan, Gemini)
- Tight coupling with chosen cloud ecosystem (platform lock-in)
- Inference costs sometimes higher than direct APIs
- Available models lag behind direct releases
- Complex initial configuration (IAM, VPC endpoints, KMS)
No technology dogma. We recommend the solution best suited to your context, constraints and ambitions. Every choice is documented and justified.

Each phase produces concrete deliverables. You maintain visibility and control at every step.
AI, Data & Maturity Audit
Assess your organization's AI maturity and especially your data quality. 80% of a RAG system's success depends on upstream data quality. We map everything: available data, silos, formats, volumes, and internal capabilities.
- AI maturity diagnostic for the organization (levels 1-5 per domain)
- Complete data source mapping (ERP, CRM, CMS, PIM, tickets, logs, document repositories)
- Data quality audit: completeness, freshness, structure, duplicates, formats
- Exploitable document assets evaluation for RAG (PDFs, docs, wikis, FAQs, procedures)
- Business interviews to identify high-potential AI automation processes
- Inter-system data flow analysis and silo identification
- Industry benchmark: what are your competitors doing with AI and RAG?
- Internal skills assessment (data engineering, ML, prompt engineering)
- Diagnostic report with maturity matrix and data remediation plan
Data Engineering & Data Pipeline
Build the data foundation that will power your AI systems. Extraction, cleaning, transformation, and structuring of your business data. Without a robust data pipeline, no performant RAG. This is where data science comes into play.
- Data pipeline architecture: ingestion, transformation, indexing (ETL/ELT)
- Connectors to your data sources (APIs, SQL/NoSQL databases, files, controlled scraping)
- Data cleaning and normalization pipeline (deduplication, enrichment, validation)
- Document chunking strategy optimized by content type (semantic, recursive, by section)
- Vector embedding generation and storage (OpenAI, Cohere, or open-source models)
- Vector database setup (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector depending on context)
- Incremental data update pipeline (real-time or batch depending on sources)
- Data quality metrics: coverage, freshness, consistency, source traceability
- Documented data catalog: schema, origins, refresh frequency, owners
RAG Architecture & AI Agent POC
Design and prototype the complete RAG system: multi-source retrieval, reranking, augmented generation, and contextualized conversational agent. The POC is tested with real business data and real users — not a PowerPoint demo.
- Complete RAG architecture: query understanding > retrieval > reranking > generation > guardrails
- Hybrid retrieval pipeline: vector search (semantic) + BM25 (lexical) + metadata filters
- Reranking system to optimize result relevance (cross-encoder, Cohere Rerank)
- Advanced prompt engineering: system prompts contextualized by business/project type
- Conversational agent with conversation memory and persistent user context
- Source citation mechanism: every response references the original documents
- RAG evaluation framework: faithfulness, relevance, answer correctness, latency, cost
- Testing with real business users on representative scenarios
- Comparative LLM benchmark on your data (GPT-4o vs Claude vs Mistral)
- Argued go/no-go with quality metrics and measured ROI
Industrialization & Business AI Agents
From POC to product: scalable production architecture, multi-agent orchestration, IS integrations, guardrails, monitoring. Deploy business-contextualized AI agents that leverage all your data — e-commerce, application, and document data.
- Production architecture: API gateway, agent orchestrator, semantic cache, high availability
- Specialized AI agents per business domain (support, sales, HR, finance, ops) with dedicated prompts
- Multi-agent orchestration: intelligent routing of queries to the most relevant agent
- Integration with existing systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS, business tools) via API/webhooks
- Unified multi-source RAG: cross-leveraging e-commerce, application, and document data
- Contextual response personalization by user profile, role, and history
- Guardrails and quality control system: filtering, hallucination detection, audit trail

- Dedicated ML/AI CI/CD pipeline (MLOps): prompt versioning, A/B testing, rollback
- Business team training on AI agent usage and feedback
- Technical and operational documentation and business user guide
Data Science, Optimization & AI Governance
Leverage data science to continuously optimize your AI agents' performance. Conversation analysis, fine-tuning, knowledge base enrichment, and sustainable AI governance. This is where the value loop closes: usage data feeds continuous improvement.
- Data science analysis of conversations: query clustering, knowledge gap identification
