## AI integration and automation

[AI integration service](https://mecanik.dev/en/services/ai-integration/)

The service connects AI capabilities to existing or new websites, web applications, desktop software and server applications. Publicly described capabilities include:

- LLM and chat integration with hosted providers or open models.
- Retrieval-augmented generation and search over business knowledge.
- Customer-facing and internal assistants.
- Structured outputs and response validation.
- Evaluation and prompt regression testing.
- Usage monitoring, caching, rate limiting and budget controls.
- Access controls, data handling and security considerations.
- Source code, documentation and handover.

### Business workflows

Document processing extracts and classifies information from invoices, forms, PDFs and emails, validates the fields and routes uncertain results to a person before preparing records for existing systems. Internal knowledge assistants retrieve permitted company information and provide draft answers with source references. Repetitive-request workflows classify incoming messages and prepare responses or tasks, keeping sensitive decisions and unusual cases with the customer's team.

### A scoped first engagement

The AI service page describes a pilot covering one defined workflow, named source and target systems, representative sample inputs, expected results and a repeatable evaluation set. Deliverables include a focused integration with validation and review paths, visibility into model usage and running-cost assumptions, and source code with documentation and a handover. Price and schedule are agreed after reviewing the workflow and before development begins.

The invoice-processing example on the page illustrates reading an invoice, having a person check unclear information and creating a draft accounting entry. It is an explanatory example, not a live connected demonstration or a measured customer result. Payment approval stays with the customer's team.

### Delivery and enquiries

The company is based in London and available for remote projects worldwide. Before starting, agree time-zone overlap, communication and review arrangements, ownership and access requirements, commercial terms and responsibility for operation after handover.

Use [the AI project enquiry form](https://mecanik.dev/en/services/ai-integration/#request-quote) to describe one workflow and the systems involved. An NDA can be requested before discussing sensitive details. The service page also describes discovery, solution design, integration, testing and deployment; the agreed quotation defines the engagement's scope and terms.
