How we build AI into your products

  1. Use case discovery

    We assess your data, workflows, and goals to find where AI creates real value. Not everything needs it — we'll say so.

    • Data and workflows assessed
    • Real value identified first
    • Honest about what needs AI
  2. Architecture and prototyping

    We design the system architecture, select the right models, and build a working prototype you test with real data.

    • The right models selected
    • Architecture designed
    • A working prototype early
  3. Build and integrate

    Production development with proper error handling, rate limiting, and integration into your stack via APIs or MCP.

    • Error handling and rate limits
    • Integrated via APIs or MCP
    • Production-grade engineering
  4. Deploy and monitor

    Launched with logging, feedback collection, and performance monitoring. We iterate based on real usage, not assumptions.

    • Logging and feedback built in
    • Performance monitored
    • Iterated on real usage

AI automation FAQs

The questions we hear before an AI build — what we make, how RAG keeps answers accurate, data privacy, and what you need ready before we start.

Still have a question?

Cost & getting started

How much does AI automation cost?

There's no fixed price — every build is scoped and quoted individually, based on the use case, the data involved, and how deeply it integrates with your stack. We validate the idea with a working prototype before you commit to a full build, so you know it works before the bigger investment.

How long does an AI automation build take?

A focused AI feature like a RAG-powered chat agent is a much shorter build than a multi-agent system or an AI-powered SaaS feature. We scope every project carefully and deliver working prototypes early so you can validate the approach before committing to a full build.

Do we need to have our data organised before starting?

Not perfectly, but you do need data. We help you assess what data you have, identify gaps, and structure it for AI consumption as part of the discovery phase. Messy data is normal. Part of our job is building the pipeline that cleans, chunks, and indexes your data so the AI can use it effectively. We'll tell you exactly what's needed during the scoping call.

What we build

What types of AI can you build?

Production-grade AI systems, tailored to your specific use case — built primarily with Claude and OpenAI models on Supabase, Next.js, and custom API infrastructure.

  • Chat agents and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines.
  • Content generation and classification systems.
  • LLM-powered workflow automations.
What can actually be automated with AI?

The repeatable, judgement-light work your team does in volume — the honest test is whether a task has clear inputs and a checkable output.

  • Answering common support questions and routing enquiries.
  • Drafting, classifying, and summarising documents.
  • Enriching CRM records and moving data between tools.
  • We assess your workflows in discovery and tell you which qualify — not everything does.
What is RAG and why does it matter?

RAG stands for retrieval-augmented generation. It's a pattern where an AI model retrieves relevant information from your own data before generating a response. This means the AI answers questions based on your actual documents, knowledge base, or product data instead of making things up. RAG is essential for any business AI that needs to be accurate and grounded in your specific context.

Can you build AI agents that learn and improve over time?

Yes. We build agents with memory systems and feedback loops that allow them to learn from interactions and improve their responses over time. Our own internal platforms use this architecture, so we understand the patterns deeply. These agents can handle support tickets, research tasks, sales workflows, and operational processes with increasing accuracy.

Trust & results

How do you handle data privacy and security with AI?

Data privacy is built into our architecture from day one.

  • Tenant-level isolation and row-level security in Supabase, with secure API connections throughout.
  • Your data is never used to train third-party models unless you explicitly opt in.
  • Private-environment deployment is available if your compliance requires it.
Will AI replace my staff?

That's not what we build for. The AI we ship takes the repetitive volume off your team — the triage, the drafting, the data entry — so the people you already have spend their time on judgement, relationships, and the work that actually needs a human. Your team stays in the loop, with oversight of what the AI does.

How will we know if the AI is actually working?

It's measured from day one. Every system ships with logging, feedback collection, and performance monitoring, so you can see what it handled, where it struggled, and how it improves — and we iterate based on that real usage, not assumptions. You'll know what it's doing, not just trust that it's doing something.

Let’s take your AI from idea to production.

We'll help you figure out what's worth building, what's not, and how to ship it.

    We had an outstanding experience working with Pinecone Agency on our recent Webflow project, with Richard as our point of contact. The team was fairly priced, demonstrated excellent communication throughout the process, and delivered everything on time. Richard's professionalism and reliability made the entire experience seamless, and we're thrilled with the final result.

    Richard and his team have been essential partners for our organization. Not only did they rebuild our site to match our updated branding, they have implemented custom code solutions and been creative partners on new web projects. They work quickly, efficiently, and provide immense value to our team at RSA. I am grateful we found Pinecone Agency!

    Sydney Ward Redd Summit Advisors
  • ★★★★★

    I'm a sole trader who built my own site using Webflow — but I was concerned about how that would impact my SEO when I transitioned from my old site. Richard at Pinecone helped me sail what I expected to be a turbulent sea as if it was a calm lake with a pleasant breeze at our backs. Generous with his knowledge, he outlined all the steps I'd have to take, explaining clearly the process at each juncture and then jumping in when either my lack of time or technical know-how got the better of me. A true partner who places the needs of the customer first and foremost in the process, and is as personable as he is knowledgable, I couldn't recommend him enough. He's a keeper, for sure.

    Building a website with Pinecone felt more like a team project than a client-contractor relationship. They listened to our ideas, collaborated on every decision, and gave us an outstanding final product. Would definitely use them again on the next project.

    I reached out to Pinecone Agency late last year to discuss building a new website for my company, Southside Engineering. From the very start, they knew their stuff and were professional and easy to work with. They captured our brand perfectly and made a website that not only looks great but we're now getting more visits and leads through it! I highly recommend them.

    I have been running a hair salon in Portishead, UK for the past 5 years and I can't say enough about how much my experience with Pinecone Agency has enhanced that. They designed an all-new website to better showcase what we do here at ABHairDesign and we are thrilled not only with its appearance but because it's generated plenty more business as well. Since working together on this project several months ago, our inquiries from clients who found us through Google searches or local advertising channels saw a massive increase. I highly recommend them!

    We first worked with Richard in 2019 to develop and design our website, and have seen consistent SEO results, and consistent quality service from Pinecone. They are super easy to communicate with, and great at coming back to us with the specialised requests and additions we have.
