Services & Tools
AI Development Services & Tools
Most of the time an offshore AI ML company will provide:
AI agents
Software that plans, uses tools and completes tasks within your CRM, calendar, email and store.
Chatbots
Bots that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand users and provide answers 24/7.
RAG
Retrieval augmented generation allows bots to answer questions from your own documents.
Custom LLM Apps
Large language models and fine tuned models that are trained on your data to complete one task.
AI Integrations
Integration with HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack and WhatsApp Business often using Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Machine Learning Models
Offshore ML engineers train models on your own data to forecast sales, score leads and spot unusual activity.
Most of the time the first tasks will be cleaning up messy data. Removing duplicates and formatting text for fast searching.
They’ll also reduce token usage by filtering, summarizing and caching frequently asked questions. This means you won’t pay more in API costs as your users increase.
Engineers will choose tools based on your setup and compliance:
AI Frameworks
- LangChain
- LlamaIndex
- LangGraph
- CrewAI
- AutoGen
LLMs
- OpenAI (GPT-4o)
- Anthropic (Claude)
- Google (Gemini)
- Meta (Llama)
- Mistral
Vector Databases
- Pinecone
- Weaviate
- Milvus
- Qdrant
- pgvector
Languages & Back-end
- Python
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- FastAPI
- Docker
- Kubernetes
ML
- TensorFlow
- PyTorch
- Scikit-learn
Cloud
- AWS
- Google Cloud
- Azure AI Studio
Testing & Monitoring
- LangSmith
- Phoenix
Closed models like GPT-4o and Claude are great for complex logic. Open models like Llama and Mistral are great for data privacy and large volumes. They’ll test both to find the best fit for your data.
Why Offshore
Why Hire Offshore Artificial Intelligence Developers?
If your local talent pool is limited or slow, Hiring Offshore makes sense.
Specialist skills
Finding someone with RAG, agents, computer vision and MLOps skills can be difficult to find in one local hire. By widening your search you’ll find a match quicker.
Flexible team
Start with 1 engineer and add more as your roadmap expands. Reduce team size when work is completed.
Faster time to start
You’ll receive 1-3 profiles within a few days. Whereas searching in house can take months.
Cost savings
In house AI engineers can cost $300,000+ per year including salary, benefits and fees. Offshore engineers from $35 per hour. The final cost will depend on the role, scope and duration so we can’t guarantee savings.

FAQ
FAQs
What is the difference between an AI agent and chatbot?
A chatbot will answer questions from your documents/data. An agent will plan out steps, use external tools and complete complex tasks such as updating your CRM post call.
Can engineers work with my CRM?
Yes! Engineers can integrate AI with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho or your own database. Clean API integration and MCP. Your chatbot data will sync.
How quickly can an offshore AI developer start working on my repo?
You’ll receive 1-3 profiles in 48- 72 hours. Most engineers will start coding within 2 weeks once you’ve interviewed and chosen one.
Do I need to be technical to hire an offshore AI engineer?
No! Our lead will handle the technical side and explain everything in simple terms. You’ll just decide what is most important for your business.
How is this different to a freelance marketplace?
With a marketplace you’ll have to source and manage one contractor. With us you’ll have a vetted engineer, lead, seat fill and contract with our US LLC.
