Generative AI Development Services

Put models that write, summarise and create to work.

Generative AI development is building products that create new text, images, code or summaries using models trained on large amounts of data. NetOfficials helps you pick the right use case, ground the model in your own content, add safety checks and ship it inside your product or workflow. Conversational products built on this are covered by our AI chatbot development services.

What We Build

What Is Included in Our Generative AI Development Services

Getting a demo to work is quick. Making it dependable enough to ship is where the work lies.

  • Use Case Selection

    We test which ideas a generative model can do well, and which need a different approach.

  • Retrieval from Your Content

    The model draws on your documents and data, so answers are based on facts you control.

  • Prompt and Output Design

    Instructions and output formats shaped so results are consistent and usable.

  • Guardrails and Review

    Rules, filters and human review steps for what the model may say or do.

  • Evaluation

    Test sets that score answers, so changes can be checked before release.

  • Product Integration

    Generation built into your app, with usage limits and cost controls.

Who It Suits

    Digital marketing
  • Knowledge heavy businesses

    Search and summarise your documents

    Let staff ask questions across contracts, manuals and reports and get sourced answers.

    • Answers cite the source passage
    • Access follows user permissions
    • Works over your own files
    AI integration
  • Software product teams

    Ship AI features to customers

    Add drafting, summarising or assistant features to a product people already use.

    • Cost and usage controls
    • Evaluation before each release
    • Fallbacks when the model fails

Approach Choice

Ground the Model in Your Data or Fine Tune It?

There are two main ways to make a general model work for your business. You can feed it your content when it answers, or you can train it further on examples. We recommend an approach after testing both on your use case.

Grounding on your content is usually the better start when

  • Answers must come from documents that change often
  • You need to show the source of each answer
  • You have few labelled examples of ideal output
  • You want to start with the least setup

Our Process

How We Deliver Your Generative AI Product

Every project moves from a written scope to agreed review points, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

  1. Frame the Use Case

    What the model should produce, who checks it and what a good result looks like, in a scope you approve.

    Signed scope
  2. Prototype and Test

    A working prototype run against real examples to learn what the model does well and badly.

    Tested prototype
  3. Build the System

    Retrieval, prompts, guardrails and integration built in sprints, with a demo each time.

    Working product
  4. Evaluate and Harden

    Score answers on a test set, tighten safety rules and review risky cases.

    Scored results
  5. Release and Monitor

    Launch with usage limits, then watch quality and cost and improve.

Cost

What Affects the Cost of Generative AI Development

We do not quote from a price list, because generative AI projects vary so much. Most of the cost comes from the points below, which we settle with you at the start.

  • Use case complexity

    Summarising a page is simpler than drafting long, structured documents that must be accurate.

  • Your source content

    Large, messy or fast changing document sets take more preparation to search well.

  • Safety and review needs

    Stricter rules, approval steps and audit trails add design and build work.

  • Model usage fees

    Hosted models charge by use, so volume and the model you pick shape the running cost.

  • Evaluation depth

    More thorough test sets and human review cost more, and reduce the risk of poor output.

  • Integration

    Connecting to your product, identity system and data stores adds build and test work.

FAQ

Generative AI Development FAQs

What is generative AI?

Generative AI is software that creates new content, such as text, images or code, from a prompt. It does this using models trained on very large collections of examples.

Can generative AI use our private data?

Yes. We can connect a model to your documents so it answers from them. We agree in discovery which data it may see and who may ask.

How do you deal with made up answers?

We ground the model in your content, ask it to cite sources, add checks for answers it cannot support and test on a scored set of questions. Some uses also need human review.

Which model will you use?

We recommend a model after testing options against your use case, looking at quality, cost, speed and where your data may be processed.

Do I need to fine tune a model?

Often not at the start. Grounding a general model in your content is usually quicker, and we test whether fine tuning would add enough to justify it.

Who owns what you build?

You do. Ownership is settled in the contract before the build begins, and handover includes the full source code and documentation.
