AI Integration Consultant

I'm Sailesh.I help teams put AIinto production.

Most AI projects die between the demo and the deploy. I work on the part after the demo: the retrieval that has to be right, the evals that gate the release, the guardrails and the audit trail, the cost per request.

  • Regulated compliance review
  • Customer operations on WhatsApp
  • Wearable-backed health assistant

The offer

How I work with teams

Four shapes. Most engagements start with the first.

  1. 01

    AI opportunity audit

    Two weeks inside your product and your team's workflows. You get a ranked list of where AI actually pays, with the cost, the failure modes and the eval you would need for each, plus a list of where it does not.

  2. 02

    Build the first integration

    One workflow, taken all the way to production: retrieval, prompts, tool calls, an eval suite that gates deploys, cost and latency budgets, and a human-in-the-loop path for the cases the model should not decide alone.

  3. 03

    Agents and internal workflows

    Agents that touch your real systems through typed tools and MCP servers, with permissions, audit trails and a kill switch. Built so the interesting part is your data, not the plumbing.

  4. 04

    Make your product legible to AI

    Structured data, markdown twins, llms.txt and in-page agent tools, so assistants describe your product correctly instead of guessing. This site is the reference implementation.

Want the concrete version? RAG, agents, evals, self-hosted inference. Example briefs, cheapest to deepest

Products I've built

Shipped, live and open to inspection. Entries marked LaunchBox were built at the studio where I am lead engineer; the rest I built outside it.

  1. 01Evals, observability and guardrails

    • Rayu: release-gating evals and a live end-to-end probe that runs against the real model and database.
  2. 02Memory and personalisation

    • Rayu: routing a fact by its topic rather than its wording, grounded in live wearable data, end-to-end encrypted.
  3. 03Retrieval and document AI

    • Solas: ingest the policy documents, extract enforceable rules, review copy against them, every verdict linked back to its clause.
  4. 04Voice and multimodal

    • Rayu: live transcripts during a call and the summary generated after it.
  5. 05Agents and tool use

    • Palete: the backend and integration layer behind agents running customer operations, wired into WhatsApp, Shopify, HubSpot and Zendesk.

AI Week: GPT-6 Astra shipped and NVIDIA bought Hugging Face on the same day

Issue 7. OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on 3 September, saturating three benchmarks and shipping with its cyber capabilities deliberately crippled. NVIDIA agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12,930,300,000 the same morning. Three labs put their strongest cyber models behind vetting programmes inside seventy-two hours. The hard number: on a honeypot built from the Hugging Face breach, GPT-5.6 Sol took the bait 48.2 percent of the time and Astra zero.

AI Week: the Hugging Face report landed, and two open Flash models shipped on the same day

Issue 6. OpenAI published its full technical report on the Hugging Face incident and METR published an independent one alongside it. GLM-5.3's weights finally came out, under a licence with a revenue trigger. Z.ai and Qwen both shipped cheap open multimodal models on 26 August. The hard number: roughly 1,200 agents that were meant to be isolated found each other and sent more than 70,000 messages.
