We don't just talk AI.
We deliver it.

Crestics is an AI product studio for e-commerce, fintech, and B2B SaaS teams. We help you identify what's worth building, ship it in production, and keep it operational. Senior team. Fixed scope. Delivered in weeks, not quarters.

Industries We Build For

You've explored the AI tools. Watched the demos. Sat through the pitches.

But months later, the workflows are unchanged. The pilots never shipped. The ROI never showed up.

Or you're pre-launch, trying not to repeat the mistakes everyone else made.

You're not behind. You're just stuck where every company gets stuck.

Crestics is the fix. Senior engineers shipping in weeks what used to take six months.

— HOW WE WORK

Three phases. One outcome: shipped AI.

Pick your entry point. Most clients start with Discover, graduate to Build, and stay on Operate.

01 — Discover

Decide what's worth building.

Stakeholder interviews, workflow mapping, ROI modeling. Then a prioritized roadmap of what to build, why, and what it'll cost. By week three, you have clarity.

02 — Build

Ship production AI in weeks.

Senior engineers. Fixed scope. Weekly demos. We build custom AI features, voice agents, RAG pipelines, and internal tools to production grade, with security and monitoring included. If we miss a milestone, that's our problem.

AI features Voice agents RAG pipelines Internal tools Production-grade

03 — Operate

Stay shipping.

Once production-grade AI is live, you need someone keeping it sharp. We embed as a fractional engineering partner for new features, monitoring, and optimization. 30-day exit clause. No retainers without value.

04 — AI Pod

A team you can switch on.

When you need ongoing AI engineering capacity but not a fixed-scope project. One US-led senior + dedicated engineers, working on your priorities month-to-month. Switch focus weekly. Cancel anytime.

— WHAT WE BUILD

Production AI, not POCs.

Whatever phase you're in, here's the actual work we ship.

Custom AI Features
In-app AI for SaaS products — search, recommendations, summarization, smart workflows.
Voice Agents
Production phone & web voice agents with Vapi, Retell, or custom infra. Real-time, low-latency.
RAG Over Your Data
Chat with your docs, knowledge base, or product. Tuned chunking, retrieval evals, cost-optimized.
Workflow Automation
AI-powered ops automation — order processing, reconciliation, document review, intake flows.
Internal AI Tools
Ops dashboards, agentic workflows, internal copilots — for the work your team does every day.
Eval & Monitoring
Eval frameworks (Braintrust, Langfuse), drift monitoring, cost tracking — so it stays working in production.
— SELECTED WORK

Real shipped AI. Real results.

Three recent engagements. Different industries, same playbook: scope, build, ship, measure.

Zero-touch order pipeline across 200+ suppliers

Django platform automating order-to-delivery across 200+ supplier portals and 100+ warehouses. Lifted throughput from 100 to 250+ orders/day, displaced a 5-person manual ops team, and auto-recovers ~1,500 failed orders/month before they hit the P&L.

— OUR APPROACH

Built for the AI era. Not retrofitted for it.

AI-native delivery

We write code with Cursor and Claude Code, prototype in v0, and stand up voice agents in Vapi. The tooling is the difference between a 6-month roadmap and a 6-week ship.

Fixed scope. Fixed price.

No hourly billing. No scope creep. You know exactly what you're getting and when. Milestones live in the contract. We hit them or eat the difference.

Engineers first. AI second.

AI without solid engineering is a demo. We've shipped real production software for 10+ years. AI is the latest tool in a discipline we already know how to do.

We don't hand off and vanish.

Most agencies ship something half-working and disappear. We embed in your Slack, demo weekly, and stay until the work is operational, not just "delivered."

— FREQUENTLY ASKED

Things people actually ask.

How fast can you actually ship something?
First demo within 2 weeks of kickoff. Full production AI feature in 4–8 weeks for most Build engagements. Discover roadmaps deliver in 2–3 weeks. The speed comes from senior engineers who use Cursor and Claude Code as a force multiplier — not from cutting corners.
What's your typical project size?
Engagements range from short Discover sprints to multi-month Build programs to ongoing Operate retainers. Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price, so you know exactly what you're paying before we start. Share your budget on the contact form and we'll tell you what's possible inside it.
Do you sign NDAs?
Always. We sign mutual NDAs before any sensitive discussions and standard MSA + SOW agreements before kickoff. All client data stays in environments you control or in dedicated infrastructure we set up for your engagement.
Where are you based?
Crestics LLC is registered in Texas, with our studio based in Austin. We work with clients across the US and UK in their preferred timezones.
What AI tools and stacks do you use?
Frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source where appropriate. Voice via Vapi, Retell, or Bland. Custom RAG pipelines on Pinecone/pgvector. Frontend in Next.js. Backend in TypeScript or Python. We pick stacks based on what ships best for your specific use case. Never tool-first.
What if we need to stop the engagement?
Build engagements are fixed-scope so they end naturally at delivery. Operate retainers have a 30-day exit clause. No penalty, no questions. We'd rather you leave when it stops being valuable than stay because you're locked in.
