For hospitality teams in New Orleans, RAG development usually starts with guest-messaging assistants, group-sales intake and review-response drafts. The raw material is property guides, rate sheets and event menus, so we scope brand voice and accurate availability into the SOW before the first commit.
For legal teams in New Orleans, RAG development usually starts with client intake, document RAG and first-draft assistants. The raw material is contracts, pleadings and internal memos, so we scope privilege and matter-level access into the SOW before the first commit.
For energy teams in New Orleans, RAG development usually starts with field-report summarization, regulatory document search and maintenance-ticket automation. The raw material is inspection reports, permits and maintenance logs, so we scope safety-critical review steps into the SOW before the first commit.

Then roll straight into $50/hr engineering — or stop. Your call.
No. New Orleans, LA is a served market. Work is delivered remotely into your Slack and repos from our Dallas HQ.
Engineers are $50/hr, Senior Leads $75/hr, the Pod is priced from those hourly rates with totals quoted on your scoping call, and the AI Sprint $5,000 flat for 2 weeks. Same rate card in every market.
Yes — hospitality projects often cover guest-messaging assistants, group-sales intake and review-response drafts. We define brand voice and accurate availability in the SOW, and an NDA is available.
A common first Sprint is one slice of client intake, document RAG and first-draft assistants: two weeks, $5,000, and the code belongs to you.
Central time — one hour behind Eastern, so the 4-hour Eastern overlap lands mid-morning to afternoon. Engineers commit to at least 4 hours/day of US Eastern overlap.
They join your Slack within 7 business days after the MSA/SOW is signed and the deposit is received.
