What does "AI & Data Systems" mean at Devsinc?+
A dedicated team that builds the data foundations and the AI systems that run on them, not just a model bolted onto whatever data you already have.
Do you build the data platform too, or only the AI layer on top?+
Both, usually in that order. Most AI initiatives fail because the data underneath isn't ready, so we build or shore up the pipelines first.
Our data is a mess. Can we still do AI?+
Usually yes. Most use cases need a thin, well governed slice of data, not a finished lakehouse. We build the pipeline for the use case and grow it from there.
How do you prevent hallucinations in production?+
Retrieval grounding, structured outputs, evaluation suites with golden datasets, and human in the loop for high stakes actions.
Build or buy, when should we build?+
Buy for commodity capabilities, build where AI touches your differentiation. The readiness assessment gives you that map.
How do you keep our data private?+
Private deployments (VPC or on premise), zero retention API agreements, PII redaction in pipelines and audit logging, compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR requirements.
What does an engagement cost and how fast is value visible?+
A readiness assessment runs 2-3 weeks. First production use case typically ships within a quarter, with its business metric instrumented from day one.
