AI engineering for companies

AI in production.Built inside your team.

Tide places a forward deployed engineer for your company — one senior engineer who sits with your team, learns your data and your systems, and builds AI your people will use every day.

The gap

Most AI projects stall after the demo. Tide's job is to get yours into daily use.

01
The demo worked on clean data

Real companies have several systems, a shared drive and rules that only live in people's heads. We learn how your data really looks before building anything on it.

02
Nobody owns it after the project ends

Everything Tide builds goes into your repository and runs on your infrastructure, with tests, documentation and a proper handover. Your team can maintain it without us.

03
Quality was never measured

Early on, we sit down with your domain experts and write real test cases with expected answers. Every change is checked against them, so you can see how well the system performs.

Services

What Tide builds

01
Forward deployed engineer

A senior engineer who joins your team and takes an AI initiative from first conversation to production and handover. This is the main way we work.

02
Agent pilot

We pick one workflow, build an agent for it and put it in front of real users. A small, clearly scoped first project to see whether it works for you.

03
RAG pipelines

Ingestion, chunking, hybrid search, reranking and evaluation over your documents, tickets, repositories and drives. Answers come with sources and respect your permissions.

04
Knowledge base your team can ask

One place to ask questions across policies, contracts and internal documentation, available in Slack, in your own tools, or through Claude Code, Codex and MCP.

05
AI product, end to end

From idea to paying users: backend, agent logic, interface, billing and operations. Built so it can be run and maintained after launch.

06
Claude Code, Codex & MCP for dev teams

Connect your repositories, documentation and internal tools to the coding agents your engineers use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), with memory, hooks and guardrails set up properly.

07
AI audit & roadmap

A short engagement to find where AI would pay off in your business, where it wouldn't, and what to build first. You get a written plan you can share internally.

How we work

We work from inside your team.

Tide joins your Slack and your stand-ups, works in your repo and with your data, and ships to your main branch every week. You talk to the engineer doing the work, not to an account manager.

01
Sit with the people who do the work

We shadow the workflow, look at the real data and find where the time goes. The result is a short shared document of what we found.

02
Agree what good looks like

Together with your experts we write a set of real cases with expected answers. Every change afterwards is checked against it.

03
Put a first version in front of real users

A working version on your infrastructure, used by a few people early. We then improve it based on how they use it.

04
Hand over, or stay embedded

Everything is in your repository with documentation, runbooks and tests in CI. Your team can run it without us, or we stay on and take the next workflow.

Who you'll work with
“I've spent my career across very different software businesses, building systems that can't fail. I bring the same discipline to AI: measured, in production, and useful to the people who run the business.”

Questions

Common questions.

Which model or vendor do you use?

Whichever fits the task and your constraints. Recent work runs on Claude and OpenAI models, and the system is designed so the model can be swapped without rewriting the rest.

Where does our data go?

It stays in your environment. Tide builds on your cloud or on your own servers, with proper access control. Your data is never used to train models.

How do we know it works?

Every engagement starts with a set of real test cases written with your domain experts. Retrieval and answer quality are measured against them on every change, so you can see the results rather than take our word for it.

Is this one person or a team?

One senior engineer, working with you directly. If a project needs more people, Tide brings in engineers we have worked with before, and we tell you beforehand.
