AI Architecture

Design the decision layer: models, retrieval and agents.

AI architecture is deciding where a language model belongs in a system and building it safely: grounding answers in your own data, letting agents act through narrow tools, and keeping cost, speed and risk under control.

Best for
Assistants, document search and agents that read a request, decide what it needs and act on it.
Example
Read a refund request, check the order and the policy, then draft the reply for a person to approve.
