Custom AI Development
Start with the problem. Build the right solution.
Assess, prototype and develop AI-supported tools around a specific workflow, with evaluation, integration and ongoing ownership planned together.
What we can work on together.
Start with the areas that matter most to your organisation. We shape the following capabilities into a defined project or an ongoing scope, with clear priorities and responsibilities.
Discovery and feasibility
Define the task and available data, then assess whether AI is suitable and what a useful first version would involve.
Solution design
Compare existing models, services and custom components against your requirements, costs and operational constraints.
Prototype and integration
Develop the agreed solution and connect it to the required systems, with testing focused on real tasks and failure cases.
Release and support
Agree monitoring, human oversight and support responsibilities, including the limits and dependencies of third-party services.
Part of your wider digital picture.
Custom AI Development works best when it connects to the rest of your business. Through Cornerstone Partnerships, we can coordinate this work with the relevant brand, website and marketing priorities in one ongoing programme.
A clear process, from brief to delivery.
Your specialists work from the same brief, with priorities and review points agreed with your team.
Understand the context
We discuss the business, review the available material and clarify what the work needs to achieve.
Agree the scope
We define deliverables, responsibilities and review points so your team knows what is included and what we need from you.
Deliver together
We coordinate the agreed work with your team, share progress and raise decisions or dependencies as they arise.
Review the next steps
We review the delivery and relevant feedback, then agree whether further improvements or ongoing support would be useful.

What can this service include?
Assess, prototype and develop AI-supported tools around a specific workflow, with evaluation, integration and ongoing ownership planned together. The scope can cover discovery and feasibility, solution design, prototype and integration, release and support. We agree the priorities with you before starting.
How do you assess whether AI is appropriate?
We start with a specific problem, the available data and a way to evaluate usefulness. The first step may be a feasibility review or limited prototype. We discuss uncertainty, human oversight and alternatives before a wider build.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. We are based in Cape Town and work with organisations internationally. We agree communication, review points and delivery arrangements around the people involved.
How are cost and timing agreed?
The schedule depends on the scope, inputs, integrations and review process. We agree milestones after understanding the brief and identify dependencies that could affect delivery. We prepare a proposal around the agreed deliverables and responsibilities. Relevant platform, media or third-party costs are identified separately where they apply.
Can this be part of an ongoing partnership?
Yes. Cornerstone Partnerships brings strategy, brand, websites and marketing into an ongoing relationship. We agree the work included and review priorities as your needs develop.
