Custom Solutions

Custom solution pricing for AI applications, integrations, internal tools, and workflow systems.

Pricing for custom AI builds, internal tools, API integrations, workflow interfaces, knowledge systems, and business software that does not fit a standard package.

Pricing decision map

Choose by workflow complexity, not by guesswork.

Pricing logic

Price follows implementation depth.

Custom work is useful when the business problem is specific enough that a standard chatbot, agent, automation, or website package would create awkward compromises. The goal is not to build software for its own sake. The goal is to reduce manual work, connect scattered tools, and give the team a system that fits how the business actually operates. Discovery stays intentionally accessible because many custom projects only become clear after the workflow, data, users, and constraints are mapped.

Scope transparency

Listed prices are starting points. Final scope may change based on complexity, number of workflows, integrations, data access, governance, testing depth, and support needs. Software subscriptions, AI API usage, hosting, CRM tools, and third-party platform costs remain client-managed unless agreed separately. Additional work beyond approved scope is billed at $40/hour.

How we evaluate fit

Custom solutions create value when they replace repeated manual work, unclear ownership, or disconnected systems.

The right scope depends on workflow complexity, user roles, data access, integrations, and how much support is needed after launch.

A practical custom build should start narrow enough to ship, but structured enough to extend later.

Pricing should follow the business process being improved, not a random list of features.

What is included

Every engagement includes the practical layers that keep AI implementation grounded.

Onboarding

Process walkthroughs, tool access, sample data, user roles, and a clear implementation plan.

Implementation

Chatbots, agents, automations, integrations, knowledge systems, or custom builds shipped against scope.

Support

QA, prompt updates, fixes, documentation, review cadence, and practical improvement after launch.

Add-ons

Extra integrations, advanced API work, custom software, data cleanup, training, and additional scope.

Delivery roadmap

A clear path from requirements to useful system.

Phase 1

Discover

Review the workflow, tools, users, data, constraints, and manual work that should be reduced first.

Phase 2

Plan & Design

Define the implementation scope, system logic, integrations, knowledge structure, and support expectations.

Phase 3

Build & Deploy

Implement the chatbot, agent, automation, integration, or custom software system with practical QA.

Phase 4

Optimize & Maintain

Improve prompts, data quality, routing, documentation, reliability, and user experience after launch.

Questions

Pricing clarity before a first call.

Short answers for the questions that usually decide whether a plan is ready to discuss.

Quick answer

You can start small. Most teams begin with one useful system, then expand once the workflow proves value.

01What counts as a custom solution?+

A custom solution can be an internal tool, AI workflow, API integration, dashboard, workflow interface, knowledge system, automation layer, or software build designed around a specific business process.

02Does it make sense to pay for discovery?+

Yes, when the output is practical. Discovery should not be a sales call. It should produce workflow clarity, requirements notes, risks, and a build recommendation. For custom solutions, the discovery fee can be credited toward an approved build started within 14 days.

03How is custom solution pricing decided?+

Pricing depends on requirements clarity, number of workflows, integrations, user roles, data access, design complexity, QA depth, documentation, and support needs.

04Can we start with a small custom build?+

Yes. A focused build is often the best starting point when one workflow is painful enough to justify custom implementation.

05Do you build custom AI applications?+

Yes. Custom AI applications can include agents, assistants, document workflows, internal search, workflow automation, data routing, and tool-connected systems.

06Can this connect to our existing software?+

Usually yes. Custom solutions can connect with CRMs, forms, APIs, databases, automation tools, websites, support systems, and internal workspaces when access and documentation are available.

Recommended next step

Custom Solution Discovery

Starts at USD $350

When the workflow is not fully clear, a short paid discovery protects both sides: the buyer gets a practical scope, and the build avoids vague assumptions.
