Madgeek

AI application development that ships to production — not a proof of concept that impressed once.

Madgeek builds custom AI applications that run inside real business operations — ML models, LLM integrations, agent systems, and computer vision deployed into your existing workflow. We have three production AI systems running today. The gap between "AI can do this" and "AI is doing this in our company" is engineering. That is what we build.

Most AI projects die between proof-of-concept and production.

The demo worked. The model hit 92% accuracy on test data. The team was excited. Then production happened — messy real-world data, edge cases the training set never saw, an integration with a system that was never designed for real-time ML calls — and the project stalled. Six months later the prototype is still a prototype.

Consultancies deliver architecture diagrams and "AI strategy" decks. They scope beautifully. They don't ship. When you need an AI application that actually runs inside your operations — that handles the 5% of cases where the model is wrong, that degrades gracefully when data quality drops, that retrains itself as your business changes — you need an engineering team that has done it before.

Internal teams often have the domain knowledge but lack ML infrastructure experience — model serving, monitoring, retraining pipelines, fallback handling. Building that infrastructure from scratch adds 6-12 months before the AI application is operational. That is time your competitors are using.

Describe your use case

How Madgeek builds AI applications.

We don't sell AI as a technology layer. We build AI into the specific business process that generates revenue, reduces cost, or eliminates manual work in your operation. The model is one component. The system around it — data pipelines, monitoring, error handling, retraining, integration — is what makes it production-grade.

Every engagement starts with an Agent Design Sprint — 5 to 7 days where we evaluate your data, map the process, and produce a build specification with architecture, model selection, and realistic cost. If AI is not the right answer for your problem, we say so before you spend $50K.

AI is included in every Madgeek engagement — it is not charged as a separate line item. We build with the assumption that AI software development is a standard part of modern applications, not a premium add-on. Production architecture from day one: monitoring, fallback handling, confidence scoring, and model-portable design so you are never locked to one vendor.

What we build.

Custom ML models — cost estimation, scoring, forecasting, classification
LLM integration — document processing, content generation, conversational AI
Agent systems — autonomous workflows, multi-step task execution
Computer vision — quality inspection, document digitisation, visual classification
NLP and document processing — contract analysis, email classification, extraction
Production monitoring — accuracy tracking, drift detection, automated retraining
Retraining pipelines — continuous model improvement with fresh production data
API and system integration — ERP, CRM, operations platforms, data warehouses

AI applications running in production today.

AI call quality monitoring platform

Situation: A contact centre scaling from 50 to 80+ agents needed to review every call for quality — not a sample. Manual QA could not keep pace with hiring.

What we built: AI application that listens to call recordings, scores against quality criteria, flags compliance issues, and generates coaching summaries. Fully automated. Runs continuously across every call.

Manufacturing cost estimation engine

Situation: A coatings manufacturer spent 2-3 days per quote, manually calculating costs from product specifications in spreadsheets. Sales cycle was bottlenecked by engineering time.

What we built: ML model trained on historical cost data that generates accurate cost estimates from product specifications in real time. Deployed into the existing operations workflow.

Custom AI application vs AI SaaS vs internal ML team.

Three paths to AI in your business. Each fits a different situation.

Concerns we hear from every AI buyer.

“Our last AI project never made it to production.”

That is the most common outcome with AI vendors who build for the demo. We start every engagement with a 5-7 day Agent Design Sprint that produces a production architecture — not a slide deck. The sprint identifies data gaps, integration complexity, and deployment requirements before the build begins. If the use case does not justify the build, we say so during the sprint, not six months and $80K later.

“We don’t have enough data.”

No company has perfectly clean, perfectly labelled data on day one. The Agent Design Sprint evaluates what you have, identifies what is missing, and scopes the AI application to work with the data that exists today — with a pipeline that improves over time. Some AI applications need 50 examples to start. Others need 50,000. We define the minimum viable dataset during the sprint and build the data pipeline as part of the application, not as a separate project.

“How do you handle model accuracy and monitoring?”

Every AI application ships with continuous monitoring — accuracy tracking, drift detection, confidence scoring, and automated alerts when performance drops below defined thresholds. Low-confidence decisions escalate to a human. The monitoring retainer covers retraining, model updates, and infrastructure management. Production AI without monitoring is a system waiting to break silently. We do not ship without it.

How an AI application engagement works.

Every engagement starts with the Agent Design Sprint. If the use case does not justify the build, we tell you before you commit to a full project.

Common questions about AI application development.

We build production AI applications across four categories: ML-powered decision systems (cost estimation, lead scoring, demand forecasting), LLM-integrated applications (document processing, content generation, conversational agents), computer vision systems (quality inspection, document digitisation), and multi-agent platforms where multiple AI components work together on complex workflows. Every application is built for production — monitoring, error handling, and retraining pipelines included.
An AI SaaS tool gives you a general-purpose capability with their data model and their workflow. A custom AI application is built around your specific process, trained on your data, and integrated into your existing systems. The SaaS tool works when your process fits its assumptions. Custom AI works when it doesn't — complex pricing logic, industry-specific classification, multi-step approval chains, or anything where the AI needs to understand your business context to be accurate.
Every engagement starts with an Agent Design Sprint — $3,500 to $5,000 over 5-7 days. That produces a build specification, architecture, and realistic cost estimate. From there, a focused AI application typically runs $40,000 to $80,000 for the initial build. Complex multi-agent platforms or enterprise integrations run higher. Ongoing monitoring retainers are $2,000 to $5,000 per month.
The Agent Design Sprint takes 5-7 days. A focused AI application — one model, one integration, one workflow — takes 8-14 weeks from sprint to production. A multi-component system with multiple models and enterprise integrations takes 16-28 weeks. Timeline depends on data availability and integration complexity. You see working AI in staging at the end of each two-week sprint.
Every AI application we build includes continuous monitoring — accuracy tracking, drift detection, and automated alerts when performance drops below your defined thresholds. When accuracy degrades, the monitoring retainer covers retraining with fresh data, model updates, and deployment. This is not optional. Production AI without monitoring is a system waiting to fail silently.
Yes — that is where most AI applications deliver the most value. We have integrated AI systems into Salesforce, SAP, custom ERPs, procurement platforms, and operations software. The AI layer sits on top of your existing data and workflows. You do not replace your systems. You make them smarter. Integration architecture is defined during the Agent Design Sprint.
We use the model that fits the task. OpenAI and Anthropic for general reasoning and language tasks. Fine-tuned models for domain-specific accuracy. Open-source models (Llama, Mistral) for on-premise deployments or cost-sensitive inference at scale. Architecture is always model-portable — you are never locked to one vendor. Model selection is a technical decision made during the sprint, not a sales conversation.
