AI Development Company in New York

The best AI Development Company in New York, at the best available price.

$0 upfrontPay per accepted checkpointSenior engineer, no agency markup

Most of what gets sold here as AI development is a team of five with one person who has shipped, and a bill that reflects the other four. This is the opposite arrangement: the engineer who scopes it is the engineer who builds it, the price is fixed before anything starts, and you pay nothing until a checkpoint is delivered and you accept it.

New York buys software the way its biggest industries do: carefully, with procurement, security questionnaires and a lawyer in the loop. Finance, media, adtech and large hospital networks set the tone, so even a twelve-person startup here is often selling into a bank or a health system and inherits their review process.

The AI work New York companies ask for is usually document heavy: contracts, filings, claims and research notes, where retrieval over your own corpus with citations matters more than a clever chat interface.

What you get

  • One senior engineer end to end: the person on your first call architects it, writes it and hands it over
  • LLM features, retrieval over your own documents, agents that call real tools, and voice where it earns its place
  • Deployed in your own cloud account in a regional data centre, or on your own hardware where residency demands it
  • Fixed price and fixed scope agreed in writing before work starts, invoiced per accepted checkpoint
  • Code and infrastructure in your repository and your accounts, written to make us replaceable on purpose
Working builds from $1,000. Full production systems from $12,000.

Nothing payable upfront. You hold every dollar until a checkpoint is delivered and accepted, and thirty days of defect correction is included. Final scope and price are settled on a call before any work begins.

Invoiced in USD, payable by Wise or bank transfer.

On-Premise LLM Deployment

Banks, insurers and their vendors here are the buyers most likely to refuse a shared model API outright, so keeping inference inside your own account is often what gets an AI feature through a DFS-style vendor review.

Architecture diagram of orchestrated AI agents with an MCP harness: a product on web, mobile or Slack sends a request to a central orchestrator that runs the flow step by step, consults a model router across Claude, GPT, Gemini and open-weights models, and hands work to a research agent, an action agent and a review agent. Every tool call passes through one MCP harness that enforces permissions, retries and logs before reaching the CRM, the database, email and calendar, or your internal API. Evals, tracing and replay, and cost per request run alongside.
One orchestrator runs the flow, and every tool call goes through the same MCP harness, so permissions, retries and logs live in one place.
How you pay

Get it built at $0.

That is not a discount. It is when you pay. The work is split into checkpoints with acceptance criteria written down before anything starts, and each checkpoint is invoiced only after you have seen it and accepted it. No deposit.

$0 to start
You hold every dollar until a checkpoint is delivered and you accept it. No approval, no invoice.
Fixed cost, unlimited features
Or hire the team outright: one fixed monthly cost, unlimited feature development, any stack.
The engineer takes your call
The person on your first call is the one who architects and writes it. No account managers, no bench time.

A US agency quotes $50,000 to $150,000 for the same build and asks for 40 to 50% of it before a line is written. Account managers, project managers, sales commission and bench time. None of it appears in your product.

How it works

Three stages, nothing hidden.

01

Twenty-minute call

You talk to the engineer who will build it. We scope the problem, and if this is the wrong fit for you, you get told so on that call rather than three weeks into a proposal.

02

Fixed proposal in 48 hours

Fixed price, fixed timeline, defined deliverables, in writing. No hourly billing, no open-ended scope, and no change-request business model.

03

Checkpoints until it ships

Working software at each checkpoint, with acceptance criteria agreed before that checkpoint starts and an invoice only after you accept it. Direct access throughout, not a ticket queue.

Working in New York

What actually applies here.

Regulation and data

Financial firms regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services fall under its cybersecurity rule, 23 NYCRR Part 500, which was tightened in 2023 with stricter access control, MFA and asset inventory requirements, and their vendors are pulled into that scope through due diligence. New York City's Local Law 144 requires a bias audit and candidate notice before an automated tool is used in hiring or promotion decisions. The SHIELD Act sets data security duties for anyone holding New York residents' private information, wherever the company is based.

Contracting and payment

You contract with an individual consultant based in India rather than a US entity. Invoices are issued in USD and paid by Wise or bank transfer, with no payroll and no benefits load on your side. Whatever documentation your finance team or counsel needs from an overseas contractor is provided before work starts.

Working hours

Four or more hours of daily overlap with Eastern time, calls in your morning, and same-day replies on working days.

Can you work under a vendor security review from a New York bank or insurer?

Yes. Expect to complete their questionnaire and to work with named, limited-privilege access in accounts you own. Where they need it, inference and data stay inside your own cloud account so nothing goes to a third-party model provider.

Do you meet in person in New York?

The work is remote, with calls in your morning Eastern time. The documentation and recorded handover are written so that nobody needs an in-person meeting to understand what was built.

Why would we use an overseas engineer rather than a local integrator?

Often you should use both. An integrator holding the prime contract and the local relationship, with a specialist doing the AI and data layer underneath, is a common and sensible structure here. What you should not do is pay integrator rates for engineering that one person is actually doing.

Can the system run entirely inside our own infrastructure?

Yes, and in this region that is frequently the requirement rather than the preference. Model serving on your own hardware or in your own cloud account in a regional data centre, with no outbound calls, up to fully air-gapped.

Who owns the code?

You do, entirely. It ships into your repository on your own cloud accounts, documented so your team or your next hire can carry it without us, and all our access is removed at handover with written confirmation.
