LLM Integration & AI Development

This is the AI development page — we integrate LLMs into your product or internal workflows, from RAG-powered search to fine-tuned models and generated-content pipelines.

What this means

AI in your product, not bolted on the side.

Most LLM integrations are shallow — a chat window calling the OpenAI API with a basic prompt. That works for demos. It doesn't work for products that need accurate, grounded responses from your specific data.

RAG systems change this. Your documents, database records, and knowledge base become the model's context. Responses are accurate because they're grounded in your data — not the model guessing from training data.

We build production LLM integrations — with proper evaluation, cost controls, streaming, and observability. AI features that your users trust and your finance team doesn't fear.

This page is for adding AI into a product — RAG, search, summarisation, generation, and other LLM features. Autonomous agents that take actions are covered on AI Agent Development. Phone conversations are covered on Voice Agent Development. Fixed or AI-enhanced pipelines across existing tools are covered on AI Workflow Automation. Broader buyer questions: how to choose an AI development company.

Problems we solve

Where LLM integration actually belongs in a product.

This is AI development for a defined job inside your product or workflow — not an agent that runs on its own, and not a generic chatbot dropped on the side.

A chat window is not a product feature

Most LLM integrations are shallow — a chat window calling an API with a basic prompt. That works for demos. It does not work for products that need accurate, grounded responses from your specific data.

The model does not know your business

RAG systems change this. Your documents, database records, and knowledge bases become the model's context so answers can be cited and kept up to date — instead of the model guessing from training data.

Cost and quality have to be managed

We implement caching, prompt optimization, model routing, token budgeting, and usage monitoring so spend stays predictable and output quality is measured — not hoped for.

The feature has to live in the product you already have

We add AI features directly into existing Next.js, React, or Node.js applications — chat interfaces, AI search, document summarisation, and content generation — without a product rewrite.

Services

What's included in every LLM integration project

From architecture to deployed feature. One team, no subcontractors, end to end.

RAG System Development

Retrieval Augmented Generation pipelines that ground LLM responses in your own documents, databases, and knowledge bases — accurate, cited, and up to date.

Included on all projects

LLM Provider Integration

OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and open-source model integrations — including streaming, function calling, structured outputs, and multi-modal capabilities.

Included on all projects

AI Features in Existing Products

AI-powered features built directly into your existing Next.js, React, or Node.js application — chat, search, summarisation, generation — without a product rewrite.

Included on all projects

Prompt Engineering & Evaluation

Structured prompt design, evaluation frameworks, and automated testing pipelines to measure output quality, catch regressions, and improve performance over time.

Included on all projects

Cost Optimisation & Model Routing

Caching strategies, prompt compression, and intelligent model routing so you use the cheapest model that meets quality requirements — costs stay predictable at scale.

Included on all projects

Observability & Usage Monitoring

LLM call logging, cost dashboards, latency tracking, and alerting. You always know what your AI is doing, what it costs, and when something is wrong.

Included on all projects

Use cases

What these LLM integrations are built to do.

These are example use cases for LLM integration — not published client case studies. This site does not currently have a dedicated AI case study.

Your knowledge base, made searchable

RAG · Citation · Instant answers

Internal Knowledge Base AI

RAG System — Professional Services

A RAG-powered AI assistant built on 5 years of internal documentation, SOPs, and client records — allowing staff to find accurate answers in seconds instead of searching through hundreds of documents.

Example use case

Search that understands intent

Semantic · Ranked · Explained

AI-Powered Product Search

LLM Feature — E-commerce SaaS

Semantic search built into an existing product catalogue — customers describe what they need in natural language and the system returns accurate, ranked results with AI-generated explanations.

Example use case

Contracts reviewed in minutes

Ingest · Extract · Summarise · Flag

Document Summarisation Pipeline

Document Summarisation — Legal Tech

An automated pipeline that ingests legal documents, extracts key clauses, generates structured summaries, and flags risk indicators — turning a 4-hour review into a 10-minute task.

Example use case

How it works

A defined process. No surprises.

LLM integrations that skip the evaluation phase ship features that hallucinate under load. We prototype and measure before we commit to production — every time.

Everything in-house. Architecture, development, evaluation, and deployment — all delivered by the Nextelligentia team. One team, kickoff to launch.

01

Use Case Definition

We define exactly what the AI needs to do, what data it needs access to, what good output looks like, and what failure modes are unacceptable.

02

Architecture Design

We design the retrieval pipeline, embedding strategy, model selection, and integration architecture. You review and approve before development starts.

03

Prototype & Evaluation

A working prototype against your real data. We measure accuracy, relevance, hallucination rate, and latency before committing to a production build.

04

Production Build

Full implementation with streaming, error handling, cost controls, caching, and observability. Built to run reliably at the query volumes your product demands.

05

Deploy & Iterate

We deploy, set up monitoring, and run an ongoing evaluation cycle. AI systems improve with iteration — we build the feedback loops that make that happen.

How we build it

Architecture, integrations, evaluation, and deployment.

The process above is the sequence. These are the parts of an LLM integration a buyer should be able to inspect before a build starts.

Architecture

We design the retrieval pipeline, embedding strategy, model selection, and integration architecture before development starts. You review and approve that plan. Production builds include streaming, error handling, cost controls, caching, and observability.

Integrations

Providers already used on this work: OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Gemini, and open-source models such as Llama 3 — including self-hosted when data privacy requires it. Retrieval and embeddings: LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, OpenAI Embeddings, Cohere, and HuggingFace. Application layer: Next.js, Node.js, Python, and FastAPI.

Evaluation and reliability

A working prototype is measured against your real data for accuracy, relevance, hallucination rate, and latency before a production build. We also implement output validation, citation grounding for RAG systems, fallback logic for edge cases, and evaluation frameworks that catch regressions.

Deployment

We deploy, set up monitoring, and run an ongoing evaluation cycle. Observability already included: LLM call logging, cost dashboards, latency tracking, and alerting — so you know what the AI is doing, what it costs, and when something is wrong.

Fit check

We build LLM integrations for some products.
Not all of them. Deliberately.

We'd rather tell you now than waste 30 minutes on a call.

We're probably right for you if…

  • You have a product or workflow where AI could replace or augment a significant human task.
  • You have proprietary data — documents, records, knowledge bases — that you want AI to reason over.
  • You want AI features that are accurate and grounded, not prone to hallucination.
  • You need someone to manage the full integration, not just hand you an API key.
  • You understand AI requires evaluation and iteration, not just a one-time deployment.

We're probably not the right fit if…

  • You want an off-the-shelf chatbot with no custom integration — there are cheaper options.
  • You have no data or context to give the model — generic LLM access is already available to you.
  • You expect 100% accuracy from day one without any evaluation or iteration cycle.
  • You need the feature live in under 2 weeks without a defined use case — that produces poor results.
  • You want AI for the sake of AI without a clear problem it is solving for your users.
