Home/AI Application Development and Maintenance

AI Application Development and Maintenance

Integrate AI into your actual business processes, rather than just building a chatbot demo. We build small tools and automated workflows that run long-term and are genuinely useful to your colleagues — writing code, scraping data, organizing reports, batch-processing documents, and adding model capabilities to internal systems.

We handle the entire process from requirement analysis and technology selection to development, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. Our responsibility doesn’t end at delivery; we also manage issues that arise after the program goes live.

Applicable Scenarios

Document and Content Batch Processing

Extract key information from hundreds of contracts, quotations, invoices, and inspection reports for system entry. Using models for structured extraction is much faster than manual review and more adaptable to format changes than pure regular expressions.

Internal Knowledge Base Q&A

Create a searchable knowledge base from product documentation, operation manuals, and historical tickets so new employees don’t have to ask questions repeatedly. Based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), answers include source citations.

Automated Scripts and Ops Tools

Batch reconciliation, log analysis, initial monitoring alert filtering, scheduled task orchestration, and natural language log queries. We use these same tools to manage our own servers.

Data Collection and Cleaning

Compliant collection and cleaning of public data requiring login, pagination, or handling anti-scraping measures. We strictly adhere to compliance and explicitly avoid data that requires bypassing authorization.

Customer Service and Sales Assistance

Provide real-time reply suggestions for customer service agents, compile customer backgrounds and follow-up recommendations for sales teams, and automatically route repetitive inquiries.

Mini-Program and Lightweight App Backends

API encapsulation for AI capabilities, rate limiting and billing, authentication, and integration with existing systems.

Technical Capabilities

Direction Specific Capabilities
Languages & Runtime Python (primary), Node.js / TypeScript, Go; script-based requirements can be delivered directly
Model Integration Mainstream domestic and international APIs and locally deployed models (vLLM / Ollama, etc.); multi-model routing, cost control, and fallback strategies
Retrieval-Augmented Generation Document chunking strategies, vector databases (Milvus / Qdrant / pgvector, etc.), re-ranking, citation tracing, and hybrid search
Agents & Workflows Task decomposition, tool calling, multi-turn planning, failure retry mechanisms, and human-in-the-loop confirmation nodes
Data Processing Structured extraction, cleaning, deduplication, format conversion, and batch text processing
System Integration Integration with existing systems (databases, APIs, enterprise internal systems); Webhooks, scheduled tasks, message queues
Deployment & Ops Dockerization, CI/CD, logging and monitoring, cost and latency optimization, gray releases, and rollbacks
No vendor lock-in. The same program typically includes an abstraction layer, making models interchangeable. If a provider has issues, raises prices, or discontinues a model, the entire system won’t go down.

Development Process

  1. Requirement Analysis (Free)

    We first understand how the task is currently performed, how much time it takes daily, and the cost of errors. Many requirements discovered at this stage turn out to not need AI at all — a simple script suffices — and we will tell you directly.

  2. Solution & Prototype

    We provide a technical solution, data flow, cost estimate, and timeline. Key steps are validated with small prototypes using real data to avoid discovering the wrong approach after full completion.

  3. Development & Self-Testing

    Developed module by module with clear acceptance criteria for each. Code, configurations, and documentation are delivered together; we do not deliver “black boxes” only the author can maintain.

  4. Deployment & Trial Run

    Deployed to your environment or assisted by us; monitoring and cost alerts are set up; a limited trial run is conducted before full rollout.

  5. Handover & Training

    Documentation clearly covers architecture, deployment methods, how to add features, and how to troubleshoot common issues. Training continues until your team can take over independently.

  6. Ongoing Maintenance

    Model upgrades, dependency updates, API changes, performance tuning, and fault handling. These can be included in a maintenance contract or billed per incident.

Pricing

Type Billing Method Typical Range
Small Tools / Automated Scripts Per Project 3,000 – 12,000 CNY
Knowledge Base Q&A / Document Processing Systems Per Project 12,000 – 50,000 CNY
Business System Integration / Backend Services Per Project Evaluated based on workload
Ongoing Maintenance & Iteration Monthly 2,000 – 8,000 CNY / month (depending on complexity)
Technical Consulting Per Day 2,000 – 4,000 CNY / day

Additionally, there is a model invocation fee (pay-as-you-go, charged by the model provider). An estimated monthly usage volume and cost magnitude will be provided during the solution phase, and cost alerts will be built into the program to prevent situations where “it works but the bill is shocking.”

Low-cost validation in the prototype phase. If you just want to know “can this be done?”, start with a small prototype around 3,000 CNY. Validate with real data before deciding to invest further. The cost of cutting losses early is low.

Post-Launch Maintenance

Model and Dependency Upgrades

Model versions update frequently, and API behaviors may change. We monitor invocation anomalies; if issues arise, we rollback to a stable version first, then evaluate the upgrade.

Cost and Latency Monitoring

Thresholds and alerts are set for call volume, token consumption, request latency, and failure rates. Abnormal usage is detected immediately, rather than waiting for the end-of-month bill.

Performance Tuning

Prompts, retrieval strategies, and model combinations can be continuously optimized. Most projects still have significant room for improvement after launch.

Fault Response

Incidents affecting business operations are handled within agreed response times; purely internal tools are scheduled on a per-case basis.

What to Do and What to Avoid

Situation Recommendation Reason
Daily repetitive rule-based work Worth doing, and likely doesn’t need LLMs If a script can solve it, adding a model introduces unnecessary uncertainty
Extracting unstructured data into formats Worth doing Models offer the best cost-performance ratio for such tasks
Quickly locating information in large document sets Worth doing RAG is currently the most practical application direction
Having AI make decisions directly Not recommended Errors are uncontrollable with no safety net. The viable approach is “AI suggests, humans decide”
Very small data volume and vague requirements Wait Streamline the process first. When processes are unclear, AI only amplifies chaos
Expecting “install a plugin and it’s done” Unrealistic Successful AI projects require a certain degree of custom development

FAQ

How is data security handled?

Sensitive data can stay entirely within your server — using locally deployed open-source models or model services supporting private deployment. When external APIs are needed, data flow is explained upfront. Deployment can be on our servers or yours; data does not fall into third-party hands.

Will it become obsolete quickly?

Yes, which is exactly why we offer “ongoing maintenance” rather than just delivering and walking away. The model layer is abstracted and replaceable, while the business layer and your data processing logic remain relatively stable. In practice, a single program lasting two to three years with multiple upgrades is the norm, not an exception.

Do you build products?

We do not develop or promote products for end-users. We build internal enterprise tools, automated workflows, and system integrations — solving specific problems within your own business.

Can I see a prototype first?

Yes, and we recommend it. Run a key process with your real data to validate feasibility before committing resources. Costs are typically around 3,000 CNY.
