FDE for small businesses
New to AI, or tried it and got stuck? We work with small companies, independent businesses and freelancers who know their field, finding practical improvements and building the tools they need.
No finished brief needed. Start with what is getting in the way.
Does this sound familiar?
Knowing your work is enough to start. Finding the technical approach is something we can do together.
We look at your work to see where AI could help and where existing tools are enough. You do not need to arrive with a product specification.
For example · inquiries, documents, organizing information
Show us the tools, prompts and results that fell short. Together we check whether the missing piece is context, the workflow or how tools connect.
Start with what you tried · prompts, chatbots, automation
Entering the same information twice. Moving and organizing files. We look at the tools and steps you already use, then connect or build only what is needed.
Small frictions · duplicate entry, reporting, repeated tasks
What you tried, what did not work, or just an unfinished thought. Start with a free phone conversation of around 30 minutes.
Client work / Anonymized
A client asked for a prompt. We asked how their users would actually work with it, then proposed and built a browser-based document assistant.
See the request and what we built ↗From a request to everyday use
Help users express ideas through a complex form.
A browser, with no separate LLM account required.
Contextual questions, saved progress and a completed document.
Client identity and identifying details are withheld.
Expertise on both sides
You explain the work, make business decisions and verify the result. We find the technical approach and implement it, checking the direction with you throughout.
This is our approach to FDE: a Forward Deployed Engineer understands the work and builds the solution. We do not take over your business decisions.
How we work together ↗
From conversation to implementation
The person responsible for implementation is part of the conversation. We agree on scope and cost before building.
01Start with a conversation.
Tell us what gets in the way and what would change if it were solved. You bring the knowledge of your business.
02Use the simplest approach that fits.
We check the request, explain hidden difficulties and agree on the work and its cost. Existing tools may be enough.
03Keep checking the direction.
We talk throughout the work, put results in your hands and check them against your expertise. Operations and support are agreed in advance.
Scope & cost
A manageable starting point
Adjusting an existing tool or connecting a few steps may be enough. If a custom service is needed, we explain the scope and hidden difficulties before agreeing on the work.
Work ranges from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of Korean won, depending on scope, difficulty and operation. We distinguish the initial build from ongoing maintenance and product-specific LLM usage costs.
Pricing and support questions ↗Before you get in touch
Yes. Tell us what your business does, which tasks are difficult and what you hope could change. We look at where AI could help and whether existing tools are enough. You do not need a technical brief.
Yes. Bring the tools or prompts you tried and describe what fell short. We first look at the gap between the result and your actual work, then discuss what needs to be improved or built.
No. Adjusting existing tools or connecting a few steps may be enough. We propose an approach that fits the problem and explain any complexity before agreeing on scope and cost.
