Every engagement starts with a structured feasibility phase, so you know what's viable before committing. Our team of engineers, designers and AI specialists then builds your system in clear milestones you can review and sign off at each stage. No outsourcing, no handoffs to a different crew halfway through.

We work across LLM integration, retrieval-augmented generation, intelligent agents, workflow automation and chatbots, connecting them to the CRMs, ERPs and platforms you already rely on. The goal is always a production system that fits your operations, not a demo that gathers dust. Start with a feasibility review or get in touch to talk through your idea.

What kind of AI do we build?

Four core AI capabilities, each designed to solve a real operational problem.

  • Conversational AI

    Agents and assistants

    Customer-facing or internal assistants that answer questions, triage requests and handle tasks. They respond from approved sources only, with cited evidence your team can verify.

  • Knowledge systems

    LLM and RAG builds

    Systems that retrieve answers from your own documents and data, with source citations and confidence scoring. Low-confidence outputs route to a human rather than reaching your customers.

  • Connected AI

    Integrations into existing tools

    We connect AI directly to your CRM, ERP, databases and third-party APIs using custom adapters. Your current systems stay in place. No forced migration.

Agents that answer from your data

Every agent we build answers only from your approved knowledge base: internal documents, product catalogues and support history. Responses include cited sources and a confidence score, so your team can trust the output. Low-confidence queries route to a human reviewer you control.

  • Answers cite their source automatically
  • Low-confidence queries route to humans
  • Fewer repetitive support tickets
  • Consistent accuracy across every channel

How do we connect AI to your business?

AI only delivers value when it works inside your existing operations. Here's how we make that happen.

CRM, ERP and Database Integration

We connect AI to the systems where your data already lives.

  • Custom adapters and APIs let AI read and write to existing platforms
  • Outputs feed back into your dashboards and reports automatically
End-to-End Workflow Automation

End-to-End Workflow Automation

We replace repetitive manual processes with reliable automated pipelines.

  • Validation and confidence scoring flag anything that needs human review
  • Your team focuses on decisions, not data entry
RAG Pipelines From Your Data

RAG Pipelines From Your Data

AI answers grounded in your approved sources, with citations you can verify.

  • Responses reference specific documents so you can trace every answer
  • Low-confidence outputs are flagged rather than guessed at
AI Embedded in Your Products

AI Embedded in Your Products

We build AI capabilities directly into the apps and tools your customers use.

  • New intelligence layers sit inside your existing product architecture
  • Users get smarter features without learning a separate tool

Your data stays safe with us

Your data can stay in the UK, hosted on Microsoft Azure in UK or EU regions, and we follow UK GDPR requirements from day one. Every AI system we build has explicit controls so your customer data and IP are protected throughout.

  • UK data residency on Azure
  • Retrieval from approved sources only
  • Confidence thresholds on every output
  • Access controls and audit trails built in

How does an AI development project work?

Every engagement follows the same proven shape. You have a working build in your hands throughout.

  1. Discovery and feasibility

    We meet in person at our London or Belfast office to understand your data, workflows and goals. You leave with a clear scope, a realistic timeline and a go/no-go recommendation.

  2. Proof of concept build

    Our team builds a working PoC against your real data so you can test assumptions early. This is functional software you can put in front of stakeholders.

  3. Phased production sprints

    We move into production in milestone-based phases. You review and sign off each delivery. The build evolves with your feedback rather than arriving as a surprise at the end, and we adjust scope as we learn what's working.

  4. Launch, monitoring and partnership

    We handle deployment, monitoring and refinement after go-live. Performance data feeds back into improvements, and our team stays available as your needs grow.

  • First production AI assistant, 2026

    We shipped a retrieval-grounded assistant with cited answers and confidence scoring for a construction client, live on site since June 2026. The same pattern now underpins every AI build we deliver.

  • Belfast and London studios

    Two offices, one in-house team. We run discovery in person and keep builds close, with senior engineers and designers working from both locations.

  • Full-stack product team

    Engineers, designers and AI specialists under one roof. The people you meet in discovery are the same people who design, build and ship your product.

  • UX-led design process

    Every project starts with user research and interface design before a line of code is written. It keeps builds focused on what your users actually need.

  • Phased, milestone-based delivery

    You see working software at every stage. Each milestone is scoped, signed off and delivered before the next begins.

How much does AI development cost?

Every project is scoped individually, but most engagements follow one of these phases. You can start with discovery alone and decide from there.

  • 2–4 weeks

    Viability & POC

    from £10,000

    In-person workshop at our London or Belfast office, a viability report on your AI opportunity, and a realistic budget estimate for the next stage.

    • In-person discovery session
    • Data and systems review
    • Written feasibility report
    • Budget and timeline estimate
    • Go/no-go recommendation
  • 8–12 weeks

    Production Build

    from £25,000

    A working prototype validated against your real data, so you can see results before committing to a full build.

    • Working PoC with your data
    • Confidence scoring and validation
    • Integration with one core system
    • Findings and performance report
    • Clear go/no-go for production
  • Rolling

    Ongoing Partnership

    from £2,000/mo

    Keep your AI system accurate and useful after launch. We monitor performance, tune prompts and retrieval as your data changes, and ship improvements every month.

    • Monitoring of accuracy, cost and usage
    • Prompt, model and retrieval tuning
    • New features and integrations as needs grow
    • Monthly review with your senior lead

All figures are indicative. We scope and quote after an initial conversation, so you get a budget tied to your actual requirements.

Is Myth right for you?

AI development is a real investment. Here's how to tell if we're a good match.

A great fit

  • You have a genuine business problem that AI could solve, not just curiosity about the technology
  • You want production software your team will use daily, not a demo that sits on a shelf
  • You value in-person collaboration and want to work closely with the people building your product
  • You need AI integrated with your existing systems like CRMs, ERPs or internal databases
  • You're prepared to invest in a proper discovery phase before jumping into code

Not the right fit

  • You want a generic chatbot wrapper with no connection to your own data or workflows
  • You need something built and delivered in a day or two with no discovery
  • You're looking for a plug-and-play tool rather than custom-built software
  • You aren't ready to commit budget or time to a structured engagement
  • You want to skip feasibility and go straight to a full production build without validation

We come to you, wherever you are

Our team is based in London and Belfast, but we work with businesses right across the UK. Discovery workshops happen in person, at your site or ours.

Face-to-face sessions surface the real workflows, edge cases and constraints that remote calls miss. Projects scoped through in-person discovery tend to stay tighter on budget and timeline, with fewer surprises once the build starts. Outside London or Belfast? We'll travel to you for the sessions that count.

FAQ

AI development FAQs

What AI development services do you offer?

We design and build AI agents and assistants, integrate models into the systems you already run, develop LLM and retrieval systems grounded in your own documents, and automate workflows. Every engagement starts with a viability phase and ends with production software your team uses, built in-house in Belfast and London.

How much does AI development cost in the UK?

Most engagements start with a two-to-four-week viability phase priced as a fixed fee, followed by a production build scoped from what we learn. The pricing tiers on this page give the starting points, and you receive a fixed proposal before any build begins.

How long does an AI project take?

A viability phase and proof of concept usually takes two to four weeks. A production build typically runs eight to twelve weeks, longer for complex integrations. You see a working build throughout, so you steer each phase rather than wait for a big reveal.

Do you build AI agents?

Yes. We build agents that do real work inside your operations, such as extracting data from documents, routing approvals and answering questions from approved sources, with guardrails, confidence thresholds and human review for anything uncertain. Our AI agent development page explains how that works.

Can you integrate AI with the systems we already use?

Yes. Most of our AI work connects to a CRM, ERP, booking, finance or custom platform that is already live. We add AI through secure connections rather than replacing anything, so your team keeps the tools they know while AI works behind the scenes.

Is our data safe when you build AI for us?

Your data can stay in the UK, hosted on Microsoft Azure in UK or EU regions, with access controls, encryption and audit logging from day one. Assistants answer only from sources you approve, and low-confidence answers go to a person, so nothing invented reaches your customers.

How do we know AI is worth it before we spend?

Start with the viability phase. We assess your data, workflows and goals, build a small proof of concept and give you a clear go or no-go recommendation with a costed plan. Our AI feasibility consultancy page describes that phase in detail.

Do you work with businesses outside London and Belfast?

Yes. Our team is based in Belfast and London, and we work with businesses across the UK and Ireland. Discovery happens in person at your site or one of our studios, then the build runs with a working version in your hands throughout.
