AI Product Development Services

Generative AI product development is the process of building an actual product (an app, feature, assistant, or agent) powered by generative AI and taking it all the way to production. It covers product strategy, model selection, RAG and data grounding, guardrails, integration, and the MLOps needed to run it reliably for real users.

There are three different jobs:

• AI product development builds the product or feature end-to-end.

• AI Development focuses on custom models: training, customization, and fine-tuning. 

• AI Integration adds AI into your existing systems and workflows. Many projects use two or three of these together, and we'll tell you which you actually need during scoping.

By treating it as an engineering effort rather than a demo. A senior architect designs the system, data flow, and guardrails before any code is written; we ground outputs in your data with RAG, measure quality with evaluation suites, and wire in monitoring from the first sprint.

We build model-agnostic. Your product works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Llama, and Mistral, with the provider abstracted away by our architecture, so switching models is a configuration change. We run our own products this way, routing across multiple providers in production.

Per industry averages, a focused GenAI feature or proof of concept typically runs from $20,000 to $80,000, while a production-grade AI product usually lands between $70,000 and $300,000+, depending on data readiness, model choice, integrations, and compliance scope.

Custom work doesn't fit a fixed price list, so rather than quoting a misleading number, we scope your project and provide a tailored estimate after an initial consultation. Our scope generator can give you a quick ballpark in the meantime. We favor an MVP-first approach to control upfront cost.

It depends on scope, but our architect-led, AI-accelerated delivery gets you a working proof of concept in about 1 week and a functional MVP in roughly a month, then iterates to production. The first step is a Scope & Design Document that turns your idea into a build-ready plan.

Each has trade-offs. In-house gives you control but is slow and expensive to staff; big consultancies bring brand and strategy but often stop at the pilot; freelancers are cheap but rarely own the whole build.

A product partner like DBB gives you a vetted senior team that ships a live product, owns the architecture, stays model-agnostic, and transfers full IP to you, available now, at a fixed scope.

Yes, completely. You own all the source code, models, prompts, design assets, and intellectual property, with full rights transferred to you. You're free to host, extend, or move the product to another team whenever you want with no vendor lock-in.

We follow SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR practices, design for EU AI Act requirements, and can deploy open models in your own cloud or on-prem, so sensitive data never leaves your environment. Every AI product ships with prompt-injection defenses, output validation, and audit logging, the same discipline behind the multi-layer security stack on our own AI product.

Our teams do not default to the biggest model for everything. We right-size models, using Small Language Models where they win, which can be 10–30x cheaper to serve, and add caching, batching, and RAG so you pay for accuracy. Cost predictability is part of the architecture.

Absolutely. We build apps tailored to your existing infrastructure and seamlessly integrate them with your systems and third-party services via documented APIs, webhooks, and SDKs.

Yes. We add AI features (copilots, RAG assistants, generation, search) into your existing app through documented, secure APIs, without disrupting what already works. If the goal is to connect AI across your wider systems rather than build a product feature, that's our AI Integration service (page coming soon).

Yes. We've shipped AI and software for a variety of regulation-heavy industries:

• Healthcare (DispatchHealth, Doctify, RetinaRisk)

• PropTech (Plaace)

• Legaltech (LegalFly)

• Retail (Renovai).
