Natural language processing

Natural language processing services that turn your text into working features

Our natural language processing services turn your support tickets, documents, emails or chat into features that classify, extract, search or summarise inside your own product or workflow. One India-based team builds to a written discovery scope, with a review each sprint. Send a short brief and we'll tell you what fits.

What you get

From language data to a working NLP feature

Scoped use case and data review

We start with the text you already hold, such as support tickets, contracts, emails or chat logs, and the decision you want it to support. Together we agree what the feature should classify, extract, search or summarise, and which languages it must handle. If a rules-based or off-the-shelf tool would serve you better, we will say so after scoping.

Model and pipeline engineering

Our cross-functional team builds the NLP pipeline and connects it to your product or workflow through APIs. A technical architect is accountable for system design, technology selection and code quality, so the approach is chosen for your requirements rather than for novelty. You see the working result at each sprint review.

Acceptance criteria and handover

Before the build begins, we write down how the feature will be judged: the sample texts, the accuracy you expect and the edge cases that matter to you. Our QA work tests against those criteria. At release you receive documentation and deployment access, and IP assignment is already confirmed in the contract.

Who it suits

NLP for teams with text to put to work

  • Support, sales or operations teams sorting tickets, emails or chats by topic, urgency or intent
  • Product teams adding search, summarisation or data extraction to documents inside their own software
  • Businesses with an existing platform that want a language feature added to it, not a rebuild

How an NLP project runs

From text problem to working NLP feature, one reviewed stage at a time

  1. Discover

    We work with you on the language task, such as classifying, extracting, searching or summarising text, and on the data sources, languages and accuracy you need. You review the written scope and the open questions before anything is built.

    You receive
    • Written discovery scope
    • Open data questions
    • Initial estimate

    You agree the written discovery scope

  2. Design

    We map how the NLP feature sits inside your product or workflow, from data intake to the output your users see. You review the approach and the architecture, including how model quality will be measured and how privacy is handled.

    You receive
    • Text pipeline design
    • Evaluation plan
    • Architecture notes

    You review the design before the build starts

  3. Build

    We build the NLP pipeline and connect it to your systems in Agile sprints. You test working builds and see results on your own text samples as the work progresses.

    You receive
    • Staging builds
    • Sprint review demos
    • Model evaluation results

    You review at the end of every sprint

  4. Validate

    We test the feature against the acceptance criteria agreed in discovery, including accuracy on your own text and how it handles unusual inputs. You review the QA results and the open issues before release.

    You receive
    • Acceptance criteria checklist
    • Accuracy and QA report
    • Error and issue log

    You sign off the results against the agreed acceptance criteria

  5. Release

    Netofficials deploys the NLP feature into your product or workflow and prepares the documentation and deployment access your team needs to run it. You review the handover pack and confirm your team can operate the feature.

    You receive
    • Production deployment
    • Handover documentation
    • Deployment access handover

    You confirm the handover of documentation and deployment access

Decisions before estimates

What shapes the scope of an NLP project?

Language data and accuracy

Your text sources set the scope: support tickets, contracts, emails, chat or call transcripts, the languages involved and how clean the data is. We agree what a correct output looks like for your team, such as the right label, the right extracted field or a usable summary, before design starts. That keeps accuracy expectations written down instead of assumed.

Integrations and privacy

Your NLP feature has to work inside the systems your team already uses, such as a helpdesk, CRM, document store or internal API. We map where text comes from and where results go, and what personal or confidential data is involved. If you need a mutual NDA before sharing samples, we put it in place first. Each of these points affects cost, so we settle them before estimating.

Fit, release and support

Some problems need a language model, and others are served better by rules-based matching, search or an off-the-shelf service. If a simpler approach suits you, we will say so after scoping. We also plan testing, deployment, documentation and handover with you, so you know how the feature will be reviewed and supported after release.

Ways to work with us

Three ways to run your NLP project

Project delivery

A fixed-price engagement for one clearly bounded language task, such as classifying support tickets or extracting fields from documents, where you want the scope settled before the build.

  • A written discovery scope that fixes the text sources, the language task and the acceptance criteria
  • A sprint-end review where you see how the NLP feature performs on your own examples
  • A change request for new languages, data sources or tasks that fall outside the agreed scope

Dedicated team

An India-based team that keeps improving your NLP features over time, suited to products where models, languages and data sources will keep changing.

  • Specialists matched to your NLP stack and the language problem you are solving
  • Sprint reviews with your product owner, where you check NLP output on your own text before the next sprint is planned
  • Source code and IP assignment confirmed in the contract before the build, covering the text-processing pipelines and integration code we write

Staff augmentation

Context-only field; not returned.

  • NLP engineers added to your team to extend an existing search, classification or text-extraction feature
  • Engineers work in your repositories, ticketing and code review process rather than a parallel setup
  • Communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence agreed with you before the first task starts
Technology around your NLP build

NLP technology chosen to fit your text, not a template

Before the build starts, your written discovery scope names the NLP approach for your language, volume and accuracy target. That might be a pretrained language model, a fine-tuned classifier or a retrieval pipeline. You also see how each choice affects cost, privacy and upkeep. Our technical architect is accountable for technology selection and code quality, so you aren't handed a fixed stack. If a simpler method would serve your text better, we recommend it after scoping.

Before you enquire

Questions before you send an NLP brief

What drives the cost and timeline of an NLP project?

Cost and timeline follow the scope, not a fixed rate card. The main drivers are your text sources (tickets, documents, emails or chat), the languages involved, the accuracy the task needs, how many systems the output must feed, and any privacy limits on the data. A written discovery scope sets these out, with an initial estimate and open questions, before the build starts. We then agree review milestones and commercial terms, and you can choose fixed-price project delivery, a dedicated team or staff augmentation.

Who owns the code, models and IP we pay for?

You do. Netofficials confirms IP assignment in the contract before the build begins, so ownership of the NLP code is settled up front rather than at handover. At release we hand over documentation and deployment access, so your team can run and extend the work. If sensitive text is involved, we can sign a mutual NDA before you share details.

Will you tell us if NLP is not the right fit?

Yes. If a rules-based approach, a search upgrade or an off-the-shelf tool would solve your text problem more simply, Netofficials will recommend it after scoping. A named delivery lead manages progress and communication, and a technical architect is accountable for design and technology choices. You see working results at a client-facing review at the end of every sprint. Send a short brief and we will reply with questions and a proposed scope.
