FAQ

Questions from San Francisco teams

Ask us something else
Do you work with San Francisco teams without an office there?

Yes. We work remotely from India and meet live in your early morning, Pacific Time, which is our evening. The build work runs overnight, so there is progress to review when your day starts.

Which California rules do you design AI around?

Mainly the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, the California Privacy Protection Agency's rules on automated decision-making, the state's rules on AI in hiring, and the CMIA for health data. We build to them and your counsel keeps the final say.

Can you work alongside our in-house engineers?

Yes. Many San Francisco teams use us as added capacity: we work in your repositories, follow your code review and release process, and join your stand-ups in your early morning, Pacific Time.

Can you take a prototype to production?

Yes. We review the prototype, fix security and reliability gaps, add tests, monitoring and evaluation for any AI features, and get it ready for real customers and your security review.

How much does custom software development cost for a San Francisco company?

It depends on scope far more than on location: how many users and roles the software has, which systems it connects to, such as your ERP, CRM or payment provider, whether it handles regulated data, and whether it includes AI features. We scope these with you and give you an estimate broken down by feature, so you can choose what goes into the first release.

How do I choose a custom software development company in San Francisco?

Look at software they have shipped in your industry and ask to speak with past clients. Ask who will own the code, how they handle the rules that apply to you, how much of your working day they are available for live calls, and what support looks like after launch. A good partner will also tell you what not to build first.

Can you add AI to software we already use?

Yes. We add AI agents and automation to your existing systems, such as ERP, CRM and document workflows, and data analytics on top of the data you already have, with people approving the decisions that matter.
