Custom AI Development Services
Tecla delivers custom AI development services for startups and growing companies. From AI-powered products and ML models to chatbots, agentic systems, and integrations into existing platforms.
The engagement takes the shape the team needs: embedded AI talent when the gap is capacity, a managed pod when the gap is delivery.

The typical AI dev agency vs Tecla
The difference shows up in how the work gets scoped, how quality gets measured, and what happens after the code ships.

When to engage an AI development partner
Here are some common scenarios where custom AI development delivers real value.
The roadmap has AI on it, the team has no slack, and hiring ML engineers takes months the roadmap does not have.
Embedded AI talent or a managed pod, contributing within days instead of quarters.
The proof of concept works, and production is a different job: real world integrations, real users, real constraints.
Evaluation suites, latency and cost tuning, and the engineering depth the pilot was not built for.
The platform needs AI capabilities without a rebuild of the core.
LLM integrations, RAG over proprietary data, and ML features inside the current architecture.
How we deliver
Discovery before code, evaluations before scale, managed support after launch.
Discovery & scoping
We map the project scope, the technical environment, and what the first deliverable has to solve.
Build & evaluate
Architecture and prototype scoped to deliver a usable first version. Every build ships with evals before production.
Deploy & manage
Launch, monitoring, and a clear path forward: expansion sprints, managed operations, or handoff.

Built to ship, managed after launch
The transition from prototype to production is where AI software development services earn their keep: real data, real users, real constraints. Tecla's engagements are designed around that transition, with evaluations and integration depth built into the scope.
Every build ships with a clear scope and a path forward, whether that means expansion sprints, managed operations, or handoff to the internal team. The engagement moves companies from AI roadmap pressure to shipped AI capability.
Industries we serve
AI technology takes a different shape in every industry. The data driven constraints, the compliance environment, and the technical requirements are different. We adapt every engagement to the business behind it.

The two people you'll work with
Every Tecla engagement is supported by two roles, both included from day one.
AI Solutions Lead
Owns the commercial relationship. Involved in qualification, kickoff alignment, business outcomes and scope decisions, final delivery, and expansion discussions.
AI Systems Lead
Owns discovery, system definition, architecture, buildout, delivery, and future-phase recommendations. Your technical point of contact throughout the engagement.
From the teams we've worked with
Eleven years, 500+ companies, 50,000+ vetted professionals. What they say about working with us.
Tecla is organized and provides a strong partnership experience. From hiring multiple engineers within weeks to maintaining consistent communication and feedback, they've shown real professionalism. Their follow-up and collaboration made the entire staffing process efficient and enjoyable.
Kristen Marcoe
I’m very happy with Tecla. Their support has improved our QA process, reduced bug reports by half, and made our onboarding process twice as fast. The team is responsive, cost-effective, and delivers high-quality candidates on time. Tecla has truly become a trusted extension of our internal hiring team.
Meit Shah
It was a pleasure working with Tecla. Their team quickly understood our hiring needs and found candidates that matched our technical requirements perfectly. Communication was seamless, and they were always quick to respond and deliver results. Tecla’s attention to quality made the entire experience smooth and efficient.
Mayya Bozhilova
Tecla successfully found candidates for our team and handled the entire process from scheduling to interviews. They were timely, responsive, and always kept communication flowing through email and messaging apps. I was really impressed with Tecla’s follow-up and thoroughness throughout the process.
Jessica Warren
Tecla's business model and team set our company up with engineers that we have the real possibility of working with long-term and can grow with our business. Tecla came in highly recommended, and their pace from introduction to engagement to presenting candidates was very fast.
David Bradley
Internally, we're moving much faster than we were without the remote engineers Tecla recruited for us and we've been able to implement far more features. Once we brought on our first full-time designer in South America, it made the quality of our user interface, product, and marketing efforts increase substantially.
Drew Batshaw
When we started our recruiting initiatives for LATAM developers, it was crucial for us to rely on a company that could provide deep local expertise to help us identify the best software developers in Latin America. The teams at Tecla really go the extra mile to understand our needs, which is what has made our partnership so successful!
Douglas Santos
Hire AI engineers by specialty
