Questions.
Senior engineers build and run your product — usually taking an AI-built prototype to production. Trained assistants take on the operational work around your business: calls, follow-ups, scheduling, billing, marketing and admin. Many clients have both.
Yes. Our AI engineers work forward deployed with your team, building LLM features and agents into your product. We’ve built a legal AI product that uses vision to process documents, and AI agents for sales and healthcare. AI engineers start at $7,500 a month.
No. Our people join your team, work in your tools, and you direct the work. We handle vetting, training, payroll and replacements.
A senior engineer costs about $66–78K a year with us, versus roughly $160–200K+ for a US senior hire once benefits, taxes and recruiting are added. Assistants run about $1.6–2.5K a month, versus roughly $5–5.5K a month for a US administrative assistant all-in.
Latin America, Sri Lanka, Palestine and the Philippines. Everyone works your US business hours, so they’re available for calls and check-ins.
They use AI tools to get more done — drafting, summarizing, researching — and know when not to trust them. We don’t sell people to do what software already does well.
Tell us and we replace them quickly, with a handover so your work doesn’t stall.
