We build the AI product.
We run it in your cloud.

Every AI dev shop builds you a demo and hands you an infrastructure problem. Every cloud shop runs infrastructure but cannot build the AI. Cloudacio does both halves: we build the product and we run it in your cloud, secured and cost-controlled.

Sample AI Discovery Sprint build plan: use cases scored by ROI, architecture, and projected model costs

See how it works

SaaS companies trust Cloudacio to take AI from demo to production.

One team builds the product and runs the cloud underneath it. Here's what that looks like in practice:

THE PROBLEM

Everyone Has an AI Demo. Where's the Product?

AI shops build demos. Cloud shops run servers. An AI product needs both halves, from the first prompt to production, and almost nobody sells them together.

The model bill with no ceiling

The AI feature ships, and then the meter starts: every new user adds inference spend, the model bill grows every month, and nobody set a ceiling. By the time finance asks, it is an architecture problem.

Every plan we ship carries cost projections and a hard ceiling before a line of code.

The demo-to-production gap

Most AI projects die between the demo and production: no security review, no monitoring, and no plan for when the model misbehaves. The gap is engineering, not ideas.

One team takes it from demo to production, and stays to run it.

A lot of 'AI agencies' wrap an API call.

Much of what's sold as an AI product is a thin wrapper around someone else's model, priced like a product. You deserve an honest feasibility read before you pay for a build.

The sprint exists so the six-figure build happens on the right use case.
IS THIS FOR YOU?

AI Product Engineering Is Built For Teams Like Yours

An AI Idea, No AI Team

You know what AI should do for your product: a copilot, document extraction, forecasting. You have no one to build it, and hiring takes six months you do not have.

A Demo That Can't Ship

Someone built you a proof of concept and it works in a notebook. Now you need security, cost control, monitoring, and scale, and the people who built the demo are gone.

AI in Production, Bleeding Money

You shipped an AI feature and the model bill grows every month, with no monitoring and no ceiling. We put the cost controls and observability around it that production demands.

THE SOLUTION

From Idea to Production in 4 Phases

We find the use case, prove it, build it, and run it in your cloud. Your engineers keep shipping. You get the product.

Opportunity Call

A 30-minute call with a senior engineer, and your AI Use-Case Scorecard in writing: which use case is worth building, and an honest feasibility read before anyone writes a line of code.

Your scorecard: use cases ranked by ROI and feasibility
Feasibility read from someone who has shipped AI
A rough cost picture: build and run
Free: no commitment, no billable work

Discovery Sprint

Two weeks, $5,000 fixed. We select the use case, prove technical feasibility, design the architecture, and project model and infrastructure costs. You get a build plan with real numbers.

Use-case selection scored against your data

The Build

A product squad builds the AI product in your cloud: models, pipelines, application, and the security and cost controls production demands. Scoped from your build plan, never off a price list.

Built in your cloud, on your data
Security and cost ceilings designed in
Your IP: code, models, and pipelines are yours

Run & Operate

Launch is the start. AI Cloud Ops runs what we built: monitoring, cost control, incident response, and a named engineer who knows the system because we built it.

why us

Why SaaS Companies Build With Cloudacio

Both Halves, One Team

We build it.
And we run it.

AI shops hand you code. We hand you a running product: models, pipelines, application, and the cloud underneath, secured and cost-controlled. One team owns both halves, so nothing falls in the gap.

Our Own Operation Is the Case Study

We sell
what we use.

We rebuilt how we operate: agents run our sales, delivery and operations, and 6pillars, the AI system behind our $3,500 infrastructure audit, is ours. No slideware, a working operation.

Timeline-Driven Approach

From idea to plan
in two weeks

The sprint runs two weeks from kickoff to a build plan with real numbers, and the build is scoped before a dollar of it is spent. If a launch date matters, tell us the deadline. We'll tell you if we can hit it.

Feasibility Read

The risky parts prototyped early, so the build plan stands on evidence instead of optimism.

Architecture for Your Cloud

Current and target state, drawn for your stack, your data, and your team.

Model Selection & Cost Projections

Which models, what they cost to build and run, and where the ceilings sit.

Security & Data Plan

How your data is used, protected, and kept in your cloud, from day one.

The Build Plan

Real numbers, real scope, yours to keep. The build starts only if you approve it.

WHAT YOU GET

Know before you build

Most AI budgets die on the wrong use case. The sprint costs $5,000 and exists so the six-figure build happens on the right one, with an architecture and a cost model you have already seen. The build itself is scoped from your plan, never off a price list.

FAQs

Straight Answers, No Fluff

Here’s everything you need to know before booking your
call.

Who is this for?

SaaS teams that want AI in the product, not in a slide deck: a copilot, document extraction, forecasting, computer vision. You bring the product and the data; we bring the AI engineering and the cloud underneath it.

What do you actually do?

Both halves. We select the use case, prove feasibility, design the architecture, build the product with models and pipelines, and then run it in your cloud with monitoring and cost ceilings. Your team approves decisions and owns the result; your engineers keep shipping.

Whose cloud does it run in?

Yours. We build in your cloud, on your data, through your change process: pull requests, infrastructure as code, and scoped roles your team approves. The code, the models, and the pipelines are your IP.

We already have engineers. Why not build it in-house?

If they have AI production experience and spare capacity, build in-house. Most teams have neither: hiring AI engineers takes six months at $250K a year, and your engineers have a product to ship. We work through your team's review process, so the knowledge stays in-house even though the build does not slow your roadmap.

Why pay $5,000 for a sprint before the build?

Because the build is the expensive part. The sprint exists so the six-figure decision happens on evidence: a scored use case, a proven approach, an architecture, and cost projections with ceilings. If the answer is "do not build this", the sprint just saved you the build.

How long does it actually take?

The sprint is two weeks from kickoff. The build depends on what the plan says, typically a few months as a monthly squad, with weekly demos so you always see where it stands. The opportunity call comes first and is free: 30 minutes in you'll know if there is something worth building, and the scorecard puts it in writing.

What if the sprint says our idea is not feasible?

Then the sprint did its job. You get the honest read, the reasons, and usually an alternative: a narrower use case, a different approach, or a "not yet" with the conditions that would change it. That answer for $5,000 beats the same answer after a six-figure build.

Who runs it after launch?

We do, if you want us to. AI Cloud Ops runs what we built from $3,000/month: monitoring, incident response, cost ceilings enforced in production, and a named engineer who knows the system because we built it. Or we hand it to your team with the documentation to own it.

Can AWS help pay for this?

Often, yes. As an AWS Select Partner we work with AWS funding programs: for qualifying companies, partner funding may offset the Discovery Sprint, and AWS Activate credits, $1K to $100K depending on stage and spend, can pay the model bill, including Claude and other models on Amazon Bedrock. Eligibility depends on your stage and situation, so we check it on the free scorecard call and handle the paperwork with AWS if you qualify.
