AI consulting and development for Dallas companies

Your AI pilot worked on a sample, and nobody's sure it'll survive the permissions and data in your real systems. A two-week readiness assessment comes first, then our senior engineers build the agents, cited retrieval and evals that score every change on the platform you already run. In Dallas that's a telecom, bank or insurer headquartered in Las Colinas or Legacy West, and a hospital system or a logistics firm near DFW Airport too.

Serving

Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving

Dallas and Fort Worth hold one of the densest headquarters concentrations in the country, weighted towards telecom, banking, insurance and the logistics that follow a central location. If you're one of them, you own a large estate already, and that estate decides which AI use cases will work.

What ai consulting and development covers

Agents that hold state

A task that runs for three days, calls six systems and waits twice on a person cannot live in a request handler. We build agents on a durable runtime, so a deploy in the middle of a run does not lose the run, and a retry does not send the same email twice.

Retrieval that cites what it used

An answer nobody can trace is an answer nobody can defend. Retrieval is built so every response carries the documents behind it.

Evaluation, before and after

Without a score, every prompt change is a matter of opinion. We put deterministic scorers and model-based judges in front of the thing so a change ships with a number attached rather than with a feeling.

Human approval where it belongs

Some actions should stop and wait for a person. That gate is part of the system rather than a policy document, so an agent that wants to issue a refund pauses, the approval is recorded, and the run picks up where it left off.

Cost you can see

Model spend, retrieval infrastructure and the review time a system still needs are the numbers that decide whether it stays live after the first quarter. They get instrumented at build time, not discovered on an invoice.

Governed data access

An agent reads through the same grants a person would. On Databricks that is Unity Catalog, so a model that tries to reach a table it has no grant for fails the way any principal fails, rather than because the prompt asked it nicely.

AI consulting in Dallas

AI consulting in Dallas starts with the estate you already own. Telecom, banking and insurance headquarters here have years of data and permissions in place, so our two-week readiness assessment tells you which use cases that estate supports today and which need groundwork first.

Every acquisition brought its own customer

Dallas-Fort Worth is where large companies put a headquarters, Toyota's North American one in Plano and McKesson's in Irving among them, and a headquarters estate is rarely one system. It's a decade of acquisitions and reorganisations, each bringing a CRM, a billing platform or a warehouse with its own idea of a customer. In our view the risk sits in the seams, where a failure is usually an integration failure under another name.

The common response is another integration layer that copies data in every direction and hopes the copies agree. They won't. We'd settle one question before writing code, which system is allowed to write each record, and have every other system read from it or subscribe to its changes. An estate with two writers for the same customer is an estate that disagrees with itself.

We'd draw every system that touches the customer and the order, who writes to each, and where the copies diverge today, measured on real records instead of guessed at. That map then decides what gets retired, what gets wrapped behind an API, and which single piece we'd build first.

Clients we have done this for

Orders processed rose 100% and accounts grew 29% after LOSExpress, SWBC's lending platform for credit unions, was rebuilt from the user experience and design system through to the front-end architecture. Loan officers spent half as long on each order, the measure a bank or insurer running a lending platform for many institutions would judge its own by.

SWBCSWBC

Credit union loan officers quote and book vehicle protection in SWBC's LOSExpress alongside a member's auto loan, but quoting was slow and new staff took too long to learn it. After gathering feedback from SWBC's staff and customers, our engineers and designers rebuilt one of its modules as a single-page application on a new design system. Orders processed doubled, and each loan officer now spends half as long on an order.

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Two weeks, fixed fee

    An AI Readiness Assessment reads what you already run, names the use cases that will survive your data and your permissions, and puts a number on what each will cost to operate. It ends in a written document that is yours either way.

  2. 02

    One system, named

    We pick the first thing to build with you and say what done looks like before starting. A first system that reaches production beats three that reach a demo.

  3. 03

    Build it with your team

    Your engineers are in the repository with ours from the first week. The pattern has to be one they can extend after we leave, which does not happen if they meet it at handover.

  4. 04

    Run it, then hand it over

    We stay on the pager while it settles, because the design decisions look different when the person making them is the one being woken. Handover happens when it is boring, not when the invoice is due.

Two weeks, fixed fee, and a written plan whether or not you build it with us.

Tell an engineer what you want to build

A senior engineer reads it and replies within one business day, usually with the questions that decide the first two weeks.

A sentence or two is plenty, such as what it should do and what stands in the way today.

Goes straight to a senior engineer. By sending this you agree we can contact you about your enquiry, and occasionally about our work. Tell us to stop at any time and we will.

Around Dallas

Demo nights across Dallas-Fort Worth

AI Tinkerers Dallas-Fort Worth holds demo nights and hackathons every month or two, often at Kiln's co-working space in Dallas, where builders show agents and conversational systems that already work. Dallas AI, a nonprofit, runs roughly monthly evening talks on applied AI at hosts such as Dallas College Brookhaven and UT Dallas's Richardson IQ, and GDG Frisco holds build nights on AI apps up the Tollway.

Dallas AI's evenings at Brookhaven and Richardson IQ are pitched at professionals working out where AI fits their company, which makes them a good first night out for the manager who'll own an agent's results. The Tinkerers nights at Kiln belong to people already building, and what holds up there shows how far a demo still is from an agent on a telecom or insurance estate.

FAQ

AI consulting and development in Dallas: common questions

Do you work with Dallas companies?

Yes, and with companies across the United States. Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so we are one hour behind you from November to March and two hours behind from March to November. A morning standup on your clock is still early afternoon on ours.

Do you have an office in Dallas?

The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.

We have systems from four acquisitions. Can you work with that?

That is most of what the work is. The first question is which system is allowed to write, because an estate with several answers to that is an estate that disagrees with itself. We would rather read what exists and tell you honestly what is worth keeping.

What kind of AI development do you do?

Agents that carry state across a long task, retrieval that cites what it used, workflow automation that survives a restart, and the evaluation that tells you whether any of it got better. The common thread is that it has to run unattended and be explainable afterwards, which is a different problem from getting a good answer once.

How does an AI engagement start?

Usually with something short and fixed so the cost is known before you commit. The AI Readiness Assessment runs two weeks for a fixed fee and ends with a written deliverable that is yours whether or not you continue.
