Engagement models
Hire the way that fits your stage — one embedded engineer, a full pod, or extra senior hands on your existing team.
Dedicated AI Developer
A senior AI/LLM engineer embedded full-time in your team — your repo, your standups, your roadmap.
Dedicated AI Team
A delivery pod — tech lead plus engineers — that owns an AI product end-to-end, from architecture to launch.
Staff Augmentation
Plug senior AI engineers into your existing team to clear a backlog or hit a deadline, scaling month to month.
What you get
How we work with you
Discovery call
30 minutes to understand your use case, existing stack, and what success looks like. No sales pitch — if we are not the right fit, we will tell you.
Technical assessment
We review your requirements, identify integration points, and confirm scope. You get a clear picture of what will be built and what will not.
Fixed-price proposal
A written document with exact deliverables, timeline, and cost. No hourly billing surprises. You know the number before any code is written.
Build and deliver
Weekly demos so you see progress throughout. You own the code from day one — no lock-in, no black boxes.
Hire Woyce vs your other options
| Hire Woyce | Hire in-house | Hire a freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first line of code | 1–2 weeks | 3–6 months | 1–3 weeks |
| AI / LLM expertise | Deep (daily) | Variable | Variable |
| Monthly cost | $5k–$15k | $15k–$25k | $3k–$10k |
| Ongoing support | Included | Yes | Extra / uncertain |
| Ramp-up time | Days | Months | Days–weeks |
| Accountability | Contract + SLA | Employment | Contract |
For companies that need AI built quickly without the overhead of a full-time hire, this model works because the expertise is already assembled. You are not waiting for someone to ramp up — you are plugging into a team that has shipped this before.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you onboard AI developers?+
Most engagements start within 1–2 weeks. For staff augmentation we share matched senior profiles within 3–5 business days, and you interview before committing.
Do your developers work in US time zones?+
Yes. Our engineers provide 4+ hours of daily overlap with US (EST–PST) and UK working hours, with standups and reviews on your schedule.
Is it hourly, monthly, or fixed-price?+
All three. Staff augmentation is billed monthly per engineer, project pods can be fixed-scope, and there is no long lock-in — scale up or down month to month.
What can your AI developers build?+
RAG systems, AI agents, chatbots, voice AI, and LLM integrations across GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. We also handle fine-tuning and the full-stack apps around them, using LangChain, vector databases, and your existing stack.
