AI development company for US teams that ship.

Honest answer: our Mohali team runs IST, which gives a native two-to-three-hour window with US Eastern late afternoon. For US clients that need full US-business-hours coverage, we run a dedicated US-hours pod out of our Frisco, TX office and a tech-lead-on-call rotation that covers 9am to 6pm Central — not a junior support shift, the same senior engineers building your system. Twice-weekly demos run in US business hours; written updates land before your standup. If your engagement genuinely cannot survive without same-zone synchronous coverage at all hours, we will tell you on the first call so you can pick a US-only consultancy instead.

Our engagement controls are SOC 2-aligned and HIPAA-aligned. We sign BAAs before any PHI is shared, we pin LLM inference to a US region (or your chosen region) when the engagement requires it, and we will run the entire build inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP account if your security team requires customer-managed encryption and a zero-egress data path. Audit logs on every model and tool call are exportable for SOC 2 evidence and HIPAA forensic review. Self-hosted Llama 3 on vLLM is supported for clients with strict no-third-party-API requirements.

Data-handling defaults are written for the strictest applicable US state framework. CCPA-aligned data subject access and deletion workflows for California residents, NY SHIELD-aligned breach notification and reasonable security controls for New York residents, and CA AB-2273 (Age-Appropriate Design Code) data-minimization patterns for any product touching users under 18. We do not collect or retain data we do not need; PII is masked in non-production environments; access is role-scoped through your identity provider. For multi-state SaaS, we treat CCPA as the floor.

Your call. We default to AWS US-East-1 or US-West-2 for US clients, but we will run inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP account in any US region you specify. For clients with strict data-residency requirements (federal, healthcare, defense-adjacent), we run a single-region deployment with no cross-region replication and no data egress to non-US LLM endpoints — Claude and GPT-4o have US-region endpoints we route to explicitly, or we self-host Llama 3 on vLLM inside your VPC for zero third-party inference.

Senior engineering rates at Aiinfox are roughly 30 to 50 percent lower than equivalent Bay Area, NYC, or Boston AI consultancies — that is real but it is not the headline. The headline is the delivery model: senior engineers only, fixed-price six-week scopes, overrun cost on us if we miss for reasons on our side. Most Bay Area AI consultancies bill timesheets, run discovery-then-discovery-then-build phases, and either burn a junior pool behind a senior nameplate or churn senior staff onto bigger accounts mid-engagement. We bill shipped systems; we keep the same engineers on your build through launch.

Yes — takeover audits are routine, and we run them every month. Step one is reading the code, the data pipelines, the eval results (if any), 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 rebuild plan if one is needed. We will be honest on the first call about whether the right move is incremental stabilization, a parallel rewrite, or shutting it down and starting over. Most takeovers we see did not need a rewrite — they needed evals, guardrails, and a senior engineer on the build.

Yes. We work with MSA-plus-SOW structures for ongoing relationships and single-document fixed-price agreements for one-off pilots. Standard terms cover IP assignment (your code, your IP), limitation of liability, indemnification, data handling, and a 30-day production warranty. Net-30 invoicing is standard for established engagements; pilots are typically 50 percent upfront, 50 percent on acceptance. We are a registered Indian entity (Aiinfox Pvt. Ltd.) invoicing US clients in USD via wire transfer — no W-9 / 1099 entanglement because we are a foreign corporation.

Healthcare (HIPAA-aligned chatbots, medical RAG, ambient scribing), fintech and digital lending (KYC, fraud, compliance copilots), SaaS (in-product AI agents, semantic search, agentic features), insurance (outbound voice agents, claims processing), retail and e-commerce (Shopify-native shopping agents), legal and professional services (citation-grounded research agents), and EdTech (adaptive tutors, interview practice). 50+ production systems shipped across 12 verticals — see the documented case studies for the engineering and business outcomes we can show publicly under NDA-cleared writeups.
