AI development company for Austin SaaS, fintech, gaming & govtech.

We do not operate a separate Austin office, but our Frisco, TX office is roughly 200 miles north up I-35 — a three-hour drive. For Austin clients that want regular in-person presence, kickoff days, milestone reviews, and security walk-throughs happen on-site at your downtown ATX office without anyone booking a coast-to-coast flight. Twice-weekly demos run on Zoom in Austin business hours from the same time zone, and the senior engineer on your kickoff is the senior engineer through launch.

It is the strongest US city overlap in our portfolio. Our Frisco, TX pod runs Central Time — the same time zone as Austin. Your 9am is our 9am, your 5pm is our 5pm, your standup is our standup. There is no late-CT shift to engineer, no Pacific Time rotation to staff, no London-style afternoon overlap to plan around. The senior engineers on your build are on Zoom in your business hours by default. Our Mohali team adds a late-afternoon overlap with Austin late-afternoon for ad-hoc deep work after the US standup, but the primary delivery model runs natively in Central Time.

Yes. The TDPSA came into force in July 2024 and applies to any business processing the personal data of Texas residents above the statute's thresholds. Our engagement defaults are aligned with TDPSA: DPAs are signed before any personal information is shared, data-subject rights workflows (access, deletion, correction, opt-out) are mapped at scope, and audit logs on every model and tool call are exportable for a Texas AG inquiry. For Austin SaaS clients with multi-state customer bases, we map the TDPSA controls in parallel with CCPA + CPRA (California), NY SHIELD (New York), and the Colorado, Virginia, and Connecticut state privacy obligations — one audit-log schema, multiple regulator-facing exports.

Your call. We default to AWS US-East-1 (N. Virginia) for Austin SaaS clients with East-coast customer concentration, US-East-2 (Ohio) as a second region option for redundancy, or US-West-2 (Oregon) when California customer concentration argues for west-coast latency. We will run inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP account in any US region you specify. For inference, Claude (Anthropic) and GPT-4o (Azure OpenAI) have US-region endpoints we route to explicitly; for clients with strict no-third-party-API positioning, we self-host Llama 3 on vLLM inside your VPC with zero data egress to non-customer endpoints. Your DPA spells out the exact data path.

Yes. We work with MSA-plus-SOW structures for ongoing engagements and single-document fixed-price agreements for pilots. Standard terms cover IP assignment (your code, your IP), limitation of liability tuned to scope, indemnification, data handling under TDPSA and CCPA-parallel obligations, breach notification, and a 30-day production warranty. NDAs are mutual and signed before any technical detail is shared. BAAs are signed before any PHI is shared. We are a registered Indian entity (Aiinfox Pvt. Ltd.) invoicing US clients in USD via wire transfer as a foreign corporation — no W-9 or 1099 entanglement on your side.

Yes — takeover audits are routine. Step one is reading the code, the data pipelines, the eval results (if any exist), the prompts, and the cost telemetry. Step two is shipping the smallest valuable change to prove we understand the system in a way the previous vendor did not. Step three is the longer-term plan — incremental stabilization, a parallel rewrite, or shutting it down. We will be honest on the first call. Most Austin takeovers we have seen did not need a full rewrite; they needed evals, guardrails, observability, and a senior engineer who stayed on the build past the discovery phase.

Senior engineering rates at Aiinfox are roughly 40 to 60 percent lower than equivalent downtown Austin, East Austin, or Domain-area AI consultancies — real, but it is not the headline. Austin consultancy rates have crept toward Bay Area territory for senior-only billing as the local talent market tightened. We bill shipped systems on a fixed-price six-week scope; the senior engineer on your kickoff call stays on the build through launch; the overrun cost is on us if we miss for reasons on our side. Austin clients typically save 50 to 70 percent on equivalent scope while getting the senior engineer in every standup and an on-site presence available without coast-to-coast flight costs.

A working v1 in production six weeks after kickoff, with evals, guardrails, observability, and audit logs wired in from week one — not retrofitted after launch. For ATX SaaS scale-ups, success is typically a shipped AI feature embedded in the product that moves a customer metric and survives security review at enterprise buyers. For Austin fintech, success is a measurable lift on a regulated workflow (KYC throughput, fraud signal precision, compliance copilot deflection) at audit-defensible quality. For gaming studios, success is an LLM pipeline that runs at production cost and latency without breaking the host engine. We measure against your acceptance criteria, written into scope before kickoff.
