RAG development. Answers from your documents.
We build a knowledge assistant for one team. It searches your approved company documents before answering and links to the sources. This approach is called retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG.
From $6,000 USDOne-time project. Software and usage billed separately.
30 minutes with the co-founders. Check fit, tools and the next scoping step.
Is this the right
first project?
Your team keeps answering the same policy and process questions because finding the current document takes work. A knowledge assistant brings the relevant passages into an answer your team can check, with a clear response when the approved sources do not cover the question.
A good fit when…
One team repeatedly searches the same company documents for answers.
You have an approved knowledge collection and someone who keeps it current.
You want source-linked answers before considering actions in other systems.
Your first project, priced.

Included in the starter scope
- One assistant role, one user interface, and one agreed user group.
- A prepared knowledge collection with agreed document volume, file types, and refresh method.
- Answers linked to source material and a clear response when the evidence is missing.
- Evaluation on representative questions, restricted requests, and known difficult cases.
- A working assistant, source-maintenance instructions, and an owner handoff.
- Quoted separately
- Large-scale content cleanup, multiple permission groups, and actions that change records in other systems require additional scope.
- A larger project
- $12,000–$30,000 — Add approved tool actions, more business systems, role-based access, or additional assistant workflows. This is an alternative scope, not an add-on to the starter price.
- Optional ongoing support
- Optional: $750–$2,500/month for agreed monitoring, evaluation, and maintenance. Usage fees and major new features are separate.
- Timing
- We set the delivery plan after reviewing source readiness, access rules, and the tests needed for your assistant.
All prices are in USD. Third-party software, API usage, hosting and any telephony charges are separate. Support is optional; its coverage and limits are agreed separately. New workflows need a new scope.

- 01
Choose the questions and sources
Agree one user group, the assistant's job, and the prepared knowledge collection. Confirm provider handling and access.
- 02
Build and test the answers
Test ordinary questions, conflicting information, missing evidence, and requests outside the agreed source collection.
- 03
Hand it to the team
Review the results against the agreed criteria. Name the owner for sources and failures before introducing the assistant.
Agree the scopeAgree the scope
Agree the scope
and the limits.
The starter answers questions from approved knowledge for one user group. Multiple permission groups, record updates, external messages, and other tool actions need a separate scope. Source access, provider handling, retention, and continuing maintenance are agreed before work begins.
Security and data questions ↗A few useful answers
Before we begin.
How much does a first project cost?
Internal AI assistant starts at $6,000 USD for the starter scope shown on this page. We confirm access, scope, exclusions, timing and a written price before work begins. Third-party software and usage charges are separate; ongoing support is optional.
What happens on the free scoping call?
In 30 minutes, we discuss one task, your current tools and the result you need. We check whether the starter fits and what is needed for a written proposal. If paid discovery is needed, we explain its scope and price first. You do not need a prepared brief or a paid assessment to book the call.
How will we judge whether the project is useful?
We agree a baseline and acceptance checks with the person who owns the work. Answers meet the agreed question-set criteria, cite their sources, and handle missing evidence as tested. Where relevant, we also compare manual effort, correction work and operating costs. These checks guide the handoff; they are not a promise of revenue or savings.
What does a RAG development project include?
The starter covers one team, one interface, and a prepared knowledge collection with agreed document volume, file types, and refresh method. We build source retrieval and answers, test representative questions and unsupported requests, and hand over the source-maintenance instructions.
Can it use private company documents?
Yes, subject to agreed source access, provider handling, and retention. We check the collection's condition and coverage before quoting. Large-scale cleanup is separate.
Can different teams have different access?
The starter covers one agreed user group. Multiple permission groups require additional access design and testing, which we quote separately.
What happens when it cannot answer?
It should explain what is missing or route the question to a person. We test that behavior alongside questions with supported answers.
Can it also take actions in our business tools?
The knowledge-assistant starter, from $6,000, answers from approved documents. Agents that update records, send messages, or connect additional systems are expanded projects scoped at $12,000–$30,000 with their own permissions, approval rules, and tests.
