AI software and automation

AI-enabled desktop software, extensions and standalone automation integrations, with review, cost and privacy requirements scoped explicitly.

AI for a defined software workflow

Astra Devs builds AI-enabled desktop applications, extensions and standalone integrations. Cursay’s desktop dictation and VideoLens developer tooling demonstrate different ways to embed useful capabilities into an existing workflow.

For a new browser-based AI application, start with Astra Web Dev. The starting brand follows the product you need rather than whether it happens to use AI. Existing Web Dev customers keep their established contact as the project expands.

Evidence, review and cost controls

Bring a representative input, the output you need and an example of an unacceptable result. Model output needs evidence and a way to review uncertainty before consequential actions occur.

Data processing, retention, latency, provider charges and recovery from failures are scoped together. Canadian business ownership alone does not establish where every model provider processes data.

A reviewable first release

The proposal defines which tasks the software supports, which actions need review and how the result will be accepted. Platform integration and deployment requirements are included in the scope.

See the pricing page for the estimate process and separately agreed operating costs. Portfolio examples are the studio’s product work, not a claim of external customer engagements.
