No hype
Honest assessment of what AI can and can't do for your use case
What AI can 84EM build?
AI project rescue, API integrations with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini, AI workflow automations, and AI-powered content systems. Connected to your existing systems and built to ship to production, not demos or proofs-of-concept that never leave the lab.
AI Project Rescue
Half-finished AI projects that need to ship, Replit/Cursor builds that need production-ready cleanup. Whatever your challenge, 84EM can help.
API Integrations
OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, custom model endpoints connected to your existing systems.
AI Workflow Automations
AI-assisted data extraction, document processing, email triage.
AI-Powered Content Systems
Automated landing page generation, localized content at scale, draft creation workflows.
How does an AI project run?
Four stages: assessment, architecture, development, then deployment and monitoring. The first question is whether AI is even the right approach. 84EM builds with the same standards it applies to all work, documented, tested, and maintainable, and launches with error handling and observability.
Assessment
Understand the problem you're solving. Determine if AI is actually the right approach.
Architecture
Design the integration with your existing systems, data flow, and failure handling.
Development
Build with the same standards 84EM applies to all projects -- documented, tested, maintainable.
Deployment & Monitoring
Launch with robust error handling and observability so you can identify when issues need attention.
What You Get
Working AI Integration
Connected to your existing systems.
Documentation
For both technical maintenance and end-user operation.
30-Day Bug Fix Warranty
Issues found after launch are fixed at no additional cost.
Optional Ongoing Support
Error tracking, usage monitoring, and model updates as your needs change. 84EM offers monthly retainers.
Where does AI actually help?
AI earns its place when the task involves language, unstructured data, or judgment at a scale people can’t match. It doesn’t when a deterministic rule or a simple integration would do the job more reliably and cheaply. 84EM gives a straight read before any build.
AI is the right tool when
- The task involves language, extraction, or unstructured data
- Volume is too high for people but the rules are too fuzzy for code
- The output is a draft or suggestion a human still reviews
- The problem tolerates occasional error with a fallback path
Skip AI when
- A deterministic rule or lookup already solves it reliably
- The task demands exact, repeatable, auditable output every time
- A simple integration or automation would be cheaper and safer
- The cost or latency of a model outweighs the benefit
Read all testimonials84EM is technical by nature, but has the ability to speak and explain in layman's terms. He also has a sense of humor, which makes all projects much more enjoyable.
Deadlines were always met. When new challenges arose (ie: last minute new data source), 84EM was up for the challenge and worked diligently to make sure the project would still launch on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build AI into my product?
Yes. Custom AI tools, LLM-powered features, and automated workflows that plug into your existing stack. If you started an AI project that stalled, 84EM audits the work, fixes what's broken, and brings it to production. See AI Integration & Development for the full scope.
Can you advise without doing the implementation?
Yes. Technical Advisory engagements cover architecture reviews, AI adoption strategy, proposal and RFP review, codebase review, team enablement, and ongoing advisory. Retainer or per-engagement. See Technical Advisory.
Can you integrate with CRM, ERP, or business systems?
Yes. HubSpot, Salesforce, banking platforms, healthcare systems, payment processors, and more. Custom API connections built as needed.
Will I work directly with Andrew?
Yes. Every 84EM engagement is handled by a principal engineer. Andrew is the point of contact and the accountable party from scoping through deployment. For larger engagements, a trusted network of developers and specialists is brought in, but communication and accountability stay with Andrew.
Do I own the code you write?
Yes. All custom code is owned by the client. Full access provided. Documentation included. No lock-in.
How do I get started?
Contact 84EM to discuss your requirements, timeline, and budget. No commitment required.
