AI Software Development

Production AI software, built to pass a security review.

We design, build, and deploy software with artificial intelligence at its core: predictive models, generative-AI features, AI agents, and the data and infrastructure that make them work in production. A senior Sthenos team is accountable from first call to launch.

What we buildAI in production

Software with AI at its core: predictive models, generative-AI features, AI agents, and the data and infrastructure that make them work in production.

SecurityBuilt in from the first commit

Role-based access, audit logging, encryption, human review, and the documentation vendor security reviews require.

Who it is forBuyers who answer to auditors

Government and regulated commercial teams that need AI that is accurate and safe, not a demo that hallucinates.

IntegrationInside your software

Added to your existing web and mobile apps, ERP, CRM, and workflows, not bolted on as a separate, disconnected tool.

Capabilities

AI software development solutions we deliver

Production-grade engineering that takes AI well beyond a prototype, into systems you can run, monitor, and trust.

Production AI features

Predictive scoring, document and image processing, search, and recommendations, built to run reliably at scale, not as a demo.

Generative AI & AI agents

Assistants and autonomous agents with the guardrails, monitoring, and human review that production actually requires.

Custom models & data pipelines

Training, fine-tuning, and the data engineering that feeds them, on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

AI integrated into your software

Added to your existing web and mobile apps, ERP, CRM, and workflows, not bolted on as a separate, disconnected tool.

From prototype to production

Hardening AI proofs of concept into secure, monitored systems that survive a real security review.

Security first

Built to pass a security review

AI fails in regulated environments when security and governance are an afterthought. We build them in from the first commit.

Role-based access controlsLeast-privilege access across every layer.
Comprehensive audit loggingEvery action traceable and reviewable.
Encryption in transit and at restData protected end to end.

How we keep AI accurate and safe

Figure 1. How the AI is kept accurate and safe

How the AI is kept accurate and safe: grounded in your data, guarded, reviewed by people for sensitive decisions, logged and testedYour datathe real sourcesRetrievalgrounds the modelAI modelGuardrailsOutputbased on real sourcesHuman review for sensitive decisionsLogging everythingTesting

Restates the answer in the questions below: grounding in your data with retrieval, guardrails, humans in the loop for sensitive decisions, logging and testing, so output is based on real sources, not guesses.

A prototype or demo

The risk
  • Impressive and unreliable
  • A demo that hallucinates
  • Bolted on as a separate, disconnected tool
  • Security and governance as an afterthought

Production AI

What we build
  • Grounded in your data and controlled
  • Human review for sensitive output
  • Integrated through real APIs and pipelines
  • Secure, monitored systems that survive a real security review
Who we build for

FAQ

AI software development questions

What does AI software development include?

Designing and building software with AI at its core: predictive models, generative-AI features, AI agents, and the data and infrastructure behind them, then making it accurate, secure, and reliable enough for production.

Can you build AI for regulated industries?

Yes. We build with the access controls, audit logging, encryption, and documentation that government, financial, healthcare, and legal buyers require, designed to pass vendor security reviews.

Can you add AI to our existing product?

Yes. We integrate AI into your current web and mobile apps, ERP, CRM, and workflows through real APIs and pipelines, rather than shipping a separate, disconnected tool.

How do you keep AI accurate and safe?

By grounding it in your data with retrieval, adding guardrails, keeping humans in the loop for sensitive decisions, logging everything, and testing, so output is based on real sources, not guesses.

Tell us what you want it to do, and we will tell you how to make it accurate and safe.

A senior Sthenos engineer will scope your AI use case and the path to production.
