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 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.

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
| Consideration | Ground on your content | Fine tune the model |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping up with new information | Update the documents | Needs retraining |
| Showing sources | Possible | Difficult |
| Data needed | Your documents | Many good examples of ideal output |
| Changing style or format | Helped by prompts | Stronger and more consistent |
| Effort to start | Lower | Higher |
| Best for | Q&A and summaries over company knowledge | A fixed tone, format or specialist task |

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We do not quote from a price list, because generative AI projects vary so much.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.

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.
