Build and run production AI
your team can own.
We design, develop, secure, and operate AI applications and workflows, and we hand you a codebase and a team that can keep running them. Built on eight engineering capabilities under one senior team.
What we do.
We build the AI agents themselves (planning, tool use, RAG, integrations) and the software, security, cloud, and data foundation that makes them production-grade.
This is where SDEN's eight engineering capabilities come together: AI and machine learning at the core, on a foundation of software and mobile development, cybersecurity, cloud, data, design, DevOps, and embedded systems. One accountable team, no coordinated seams between vendors.
Every build ships with the evals, guardrails, and cost ceilings that keep AI honest in production, and with the operational artifacts (runbooks, monitoring, on-call playbooks) your team needs to run it after we step back.
Monthly retainerOn request
Build phase, then run, handed over to your team.
Build & Run is a build phase then a run window, quoted from the scope, not a fixed catalogue price. The first phase is a paid, time-boxed scoping that produces the architecture and the number we commit to.
What moves the quote
- The surface to build: one workflow, an agent, a RAG assistant, or a full app
- Which of the eight engineering disciplines the build draws on
- The length of the run window and the SLAs you need during it
- Integration depth with your existing stack, data, and security requirements
Eight capabilities, one senior team.
Build & Run draws on every engineering discipline at SDEN. No seams between vendors: one accountable team.

What you walk away with.
- A production AI application or workflow, live and monitored
- Code in your repositories from day one, with IP transfer in the contract
- Evals, guardrails, and cost ceilings wired in
- Runbooks, monitoring dashboards, and an on-call playbook
- Documentation written for the next engineer who joins your team
- A defined support window, then a clean operating handover
Who it's for.
Organizations ready to implement on at least one prioritized use case, whether you arrive with a roadmap from our Audit & Consulting offer or already know what you need.
Horizontal and global: any sector, any size, anywhere. The one constant is that you want to own what gets built.
Decided already? Skip to the brief.
Tell us where you are and we will come back with a scoped plan, not a sales deck.
How this makes you autonomous.
This is the strongest statement of the autonomy promise: code in your repositories from day one, documentation written for the engineer who inherits it, and a support window during which we operate the system jointly with your team so the knowledge transfers, not just the code.
We run it until your team can, then we step back. No staff augmentation, no black box, no dependency dressed up as a retainer. If you want your team to run it confidently, that's where the Training offer comes back in.
The proof.
We operate our own AI products in production (Real Estate, Lead Manager, Beauty, University Portal), which is why we can build yours and hand it over cleanly.
Consulting teaches you what to recommend; operating production software teaches you what survives. Every build inherits that operational scar tissue, and every handover is judged on whether your team is still running it a year later.
Proof from real engagements.
Residential brokerage / valuations
Days of manual comparative market analysis became explainable estimate ranges at a residential brokerage, once Real Estate's AI-assisted valuation went in, cutting the time spent on each valuation by 70%.

Clinical operations / telemedicine
A multi-site North American clinical network needed a patient portal, a clinical workflow, and an end-to-end-encrypted telemedicine surface: with the HIPAA posture and audit trail built from the schema out, not retrofitted before the next inspection.

Payments / regulated finance
A regulated North American fintech's payments ledger had grown into a single-database approximation the regulator would not accept. We rebuilt it as a typed, append-only, auditable system, and the product never went offline.

What changes with
a real engineering partner.
Organizations that wanted software worthy of their ambition, and a partner that delivers what it says.
“SDEN took over a project that had gone off the rails, laid down a sound architecture, and shipped to production what others had been promising us for a year. The engineering is the real thing.”
“A partner that says no when it needs to and ships what it promises. The code is clean, documented, and holds up under load. That's rare.”
“From architecture to deployment, everything was scoped and delivered. SDEN worked like a genuine in-house engineering team, not like a vendor.”
