Austin businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. Semantic search (RAG) only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Texas.
Semantic search (RAG) that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Texas.
Our goal is to give Austin businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What semantic search (RAG) actually does
Search that understands intent, not just keywords. Your team types what they mean - and gets the right document, ticket, or product from across every system, with citations.
- 01 Indexes Drive, SharePoint, Notion, Slack, your CRM
- 02 Returns answers with source links - no hallucinations
- 03 Permissioned so staff only see what they should
- 04 Re-indexes nightly so results stay fresh
Built on: Pinecone Claude Postgres pgvector Vercel AI SDK
What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of semantic search (RAG) runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Austin businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How semantic search (RAG) compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
The pattern across Austin engagements we've shipped.
- Austin is the tech and startup capital of Texas, and every business here has already seen an AI pitch - AI that ships is the only kind that gets taken seriously.
- A dense startup and venture scene, major tech company offices, and a live-music and hospitality economy layered on top. Austin teams have high AI literacy already, so the bar is a working product, not a pitch deck.
We work with teams across Austin: Downtown Austin · South Congress · East Austin · The Domain · Round Rock · Cedar Park.
Talk to us about this →How we build semantic search (RAG) for an Austin team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Austin business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI search over your data.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Austin businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Austin teams
The shape of the result for Austin teams: Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. Built on Pinecone, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales.

FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Austin businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What's the realistic outcome for Austin businesses?
Average search time drops from 6 minutes to 12 seconds. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What tools do you build semantic search (RAG) on?
For semantic search (RAG) we usually reach for Pinecone, Claude, Postgres pgvector, Vercel AI SDK. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Austin team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
One reply, one direction.
We don't run sequences or follow-up automation. One useful answer, one decision on your side.
