AI Integration That Works With Your Existing Systems, Not Against Them

Document processing, intelligent search, and content generation typically deliver the fastest returns because they automate high-volume, repetitive knowledge work. Predictive analytics follows closely when sufficient historical data exists. We assess your specific use case during the AI Adoption Discovery program to identify where AI will have the most measurable impact.

We follow data minimization principles - only the data required for the AI feature is processed. For sensitive environments, we deploy models in your cloud environment or use private endpoints. Unico Connect is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and we map projects to GDPR, HIPAA, and other regulated workload requirements as part of discovery. Data never leaves your control unless explicitly configured to do so.

Data quality is the foundation of useful AI. We build data pipelines that clean, transform, and enrich your data before it reaches AI models. We are also candid about when data quality is insufficient for a proposed use case - assessing data readiness is part of our AI Adoption Discovery.

We integrate with all major providers: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini/Vertex AI. We also build custom ML models using TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn when off-the-shelf solutions do not meet accuracy or performance requirements. Provider selection is based on your specific needs - latency, cost, accuracy, data residency - not our preference.

A single-feature integration, such as adding semantic search to an existing application, takes 4-6 weeks. Multi-feature AI augmentation of an existing platform runs 8-16 weeks. Our AI Adoption Discovery program (3 weeks) helps scope the right integration points before committing to a full build.

Yes. Most of our clients are in the USA, and we maintain a US presence for contracts and billing. Engineering is delivered from our Mumbai hub with a guaranteed overlap of up to 4 hours with your US business hours, and full US hours coverage is available as an add on. Invoicing is in USD, with euro and INR invoicing also available, and every engagement includes full IP assignment, NDAs before discovery, and delivery under our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified information security management system. US clients include Highlands Community Charter in California, ABC Carpet and Home in New York, Deep Meditate, and Choice Digital.

Our USD rates for AI integration run $25 to $50 per hour depending on seniority and stack, a fraction of the $150 to $300 per hour US specialists typically bill for comparable scope. We work on both fixed scope and retainer models. Fixed scope projects get an estimate before work starts, and most clients choose a retainer, which keeps the team building against your current priorities as requirements change.
