Custom AI Development · Pittsburgh, PA
For healthcare and other technology in Pittsburgh, off-the-shelf ai tools that almost solve the problem but never actually do.
Pittsburgh commercial context
Pittsburgh has reinvented itself around healthcare, robotics, and an unusually deep AI research footprint anchored by Carnegie Mellon. Commercial AI work here lands with technically rigorous buyers who often have engineering staff capable of building things themselves; the vendor pitch must be substantive, not promotional.
What this looks like in practice
A specialty group built a private RAG over their own clinical guidelines, treatment protocols, and prior case notes. Physicians query inside the EHR without data leaving their environment. Reduced lookup time during patient visits; consistency across providers improved.
A specialty chemicals plant trained a predictive-maintenance model on their own sensor data instead of using a generic CMMS tool. Unplanned downtime dropped 40% in the first year.
A custom application that reads your specific document types (contracts, invoices, reports, applications) and extracts the structured fields your business actually uses. Built once, runs on every new document forever.
How we work
We start with a 30-minute call to define the gap between what off-the-shelf gets you and what your business actually needs. We design the system: which model, which data, which integrations, which guardrails. We build in two-week iterations with a working demo at the end of each. We deploy into your environment, integrate with your auth and data systems, and monitor production for the first month. You own the code. We document everything so your team can maintain it.
Why working with a local team matters
BaileyFinch's office is in Ashburn, VA. For Pittsburgh engagements we travel in for discovery sessions, major checkpoints, and quarterly reviews. Most build and review work happens remotely with weekly video sessions. Same time zone, same business calendar, same regional context.
Founded by Mario Bailey, a USAF veteran and prior delivery lead on federal and defense programs at Dark Wolf Solutions. The team has shipped production AI for federal customers and now applies that engineering discipline to commercial work across the mid-Atlantic.
Common questions
Off-the-shelf models work for one-off questions. Production AI in your business needs to run reliably, respect your private data, integrate with your systems, and produce the specific output shape your downstream process needs. Building that production layer is where custom development pays off.
Discovery and design starts at $5K. A production-grade application typically runs $25K to $150K depending on integration count, data complexity, and compliance requirements. Pricing scoped after a 30-minute call.
For Pittsburgh, PA customers in healthcare, technology, manufacturing, HIPAA-compliant deployment is standard. We deploy inside your environment with BAAs in place, use models that meet your data residency requirements, and never train on your PHI.
Discovery and design takes 1 to 2 weeks. A production-grade build takes 6 to 14 weeks depending on integration scope and data complexity. We work in two-week iterations with a working demo at the end of each, so you see progress every two weeks instead of waiting three months for a reveal.
You do. Every line of code, every model artifact, every config sits in your repository. We document the architecture so your engineering or IT team can maintain and extend it. We are not building a black box you have to keep paying us to operate.
