Fixed-fee AI readiness consultation
Use-case workshop, risk review, architecture sketch, and a written plan — chatbot vs agent vs RAG — before you commit to a full build.
We help companies put AI to work where it matters: customer support, internal ops, and product features — with retrieval over your data, tool-using agents, clear guardrails, and human handover when confidence is low. Not sure where to start? Begin with a fixed-fee AI readiness consultation.

In short
DebuggedSoftware builds production AI agents and chatbots — RAG over your docs, safe tool use, evals, and escalation — integrated into Django, Laravel, or Node products. We also offer a fixed-fee AI readiness consultation when you need a written use-case plan before a build.
Use-case workshop, risk review, architecture sketch, and a written plan — chatbot vs agent vs RAG — before you commit to a full build.
Web widget, Slack/Teams, or email triage grounded in your knowledge.
Tickets, CRM notes, order lookup, and workflows via controlled APIs.
Docs, FAQs, and private KBs with citations and refusal when unsure.
Golden sets, cost controls, PII handling, and human escalation paths.
Admin assist, search, and extraction embedded in SaaS — not only chat UIs.
A plain answer up front — we would rather not sell you something you do not need.
Many teams know they need AI but not where to start — chatbot, agent, copilot, or RAG over internal docs. Our AI readiness consultation is a fixed-fee engagement: we review your use case, data sources, risk, and stack, then deliver a written plan with recommended architecture, phased milestones, and ballpark effort.
You get a clear go/no-go on the first slice — support inbox, sales assist, internal search, or in-product copilot — without committing to a multi-month build blind.
We build support and sales assistants grounded in your docs, help center, policies, and product data (RAG) so answers stay accurate instead of inventing policies. Channels can include your website widget, Slack/Teams, or email triage.
Every bot ships with conversation logging, escalation to a human, and tunable tone so brand and compliance stay intact. For retrieval depth and eval harnesses, see our RAG development service — we often combine both under one roadmap.
Beyond Q&A, we design agents that call tools: create tickets, look up orders, draft CRM notes, schedule follow-ups, or kick off workflows via your APIs. Permissions, audit trails, and approval steps keep automation from becoming a liability.
We integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or open models behind your stack (Django, Laravel, Node) so AI is a feature of your product — not a fragile side script.
Production AI needs more than a prompt. We add eval sets for common questions, rate limits and caching to control spend, PII redaction where required, and monitoring so quality regressions show up before customers complain.
Engagements start with a narrow use case (one workflow or inbox), prove ROI, then expand — the same milestone discipline we use for SaaS and mobile builds.

The AI readiness consultation is a productized entry offer — fixed fee, written recommendations, no obligation to continue. Full agent/RAG builds are quoted separately after you see the plan.
The people you meet in discovery stay involved through architecture, delivery, and launch — not a junior bench swap after the sale.
Scope, tradeoffs, and progress live in writing. You see working software in milestones inside our client portal with live chat.
Repos, infra, analytics, and documentation live in your accounts from day one. No agency lock-in at the end of the engagement.
English-first delivery, overlap hours where needed, NDA-friendly collaboration, and remote teams used to North American and European product standards.
