AI Pod Studios serves Houston, TX remotely from its Dallas HQ — engineers work in your Slack and repos, not a local office. We provide AI engineers for energy, healthcare and logistics teams at $50/hr (Senior Lead $75/hr), a Pod (1 Senior Lead + 2 AI Engineers) priced from those rates, or a $5,000 two-week AI Sprint. Engineers join your Slack within 7 business days of MSA/SOW and deposit.

Houston energy teams typically ask us for field-report summarization, regulatory document search and maintenance-ticket automation. That work runs on inspection reports, permits and maintenance logs, and we plan for safety-critical review steps from day one.
Houston healthcare teams typically ask us for patient-intake assistants, prior-authorization document prep and policy search. That work runs on referral packets, payer policies and internal protocols, and we plan for PHI handling defined in your agreements from day one.
Houston logistics teams typically ask us for shipment-exception triage, carrier email automation and dispatch assistants. That work runs on bills of lading, rate confirmations and tracking events, and we plan for accuracy on time-sensitive updates from day one.
Time zone: Central time — one hour behind Eastern, so the 4-hour Eastern overlap lands mid-morning to afternoon.
