For prospects in scoping

Custom AI-Powered Builds

You've already got the strategy nailed down, but your team doesn't have the bandwidth (or the chops) to ship the custom build it requires. That's where these projects start, and here's what they've turned into.

Custom builds aren't a packaged product. Scope, timeline, and price get set in the strategy call. The examples below are anonymized snapshots of real engagements so you can see whether your situation rhymes.

Our Process

How a custom build actually unfolds, from first call to handoff. No surprises, no scope creep, no hourly billing ambiguity.

Week 0

Discovery

We talk for 30 minutes. You explain the problem you're trying to solve, who's involved, and what you're willing to spend. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you straight up.

Week 1

Scope Lock

We lock in what we're building, when it ships, and what it costs. You get a written scope of work with clear deliverables and milestones. Sign it and we start building.

Weeks 1-2

Design & Architecture

We build wireframes and map out the data model, integrations, and core workflows. You review and approve everything before we start writing production code.

Weeks 2-N

Build

We build in weekly sprints. Each week you get a video call showing what's done and what's next. You course-correct as we go, so there's no big reveal at the end where things feel off.

Final week

Handoff & Knowledge Transfer

You get everything, code, prompts, configs, deployment docs. Your team gets a full walkthrough (about an hour), and we stick around for 30 days after launch to answer questions.

Custom Web Apps

Full-custom web applications and plugins that slot into your current systems. Built for your specific workflow, not adapted from someone else's template. Whether you need a customer-facing tool or an internal ops dashboard, you get exactly what you asked for.

What clients say

“Elite AI Advantage was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first conversation, everything was clearly explained, expectations were set, and they made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. Their customer service was excellent—quick to respond, proactive with updates, and genuinely focused on making sure we were happy with the end result. On top of that, they delivered faster than we expected without sacrificing quality, which made a huge difference for our timelines. I’d highly recommend Elite AI Advantage to anyone looking for a smooth, professional, and efficient AI partner.”

Lee M.

Ruck Digital

“Working with Elite AI Advantage on our Beard Apothecary project was a game changer. They took the time to understand our brand, our customers, and the tone we were going for, then translated that into polished AI solutions without us needing to micro-manage the process. Communication was smooth and friendly the whole way through—questions were answered quickly, and they were always a step ahead with suggestions and improvements. What really impressed us was how fast everything was delivered; we were prepared for a long timeline, but they hit our goals well ahead of schedule while still nailing the quality. We’d happily partner with Elite AI Advantage again for future Beard Apothecary initiatives.”

Frequently asked questions

Do you maintain the build after delivery?
We include 30 days of support after launch for bug fixes and questions. After that, you can either bring us back on a monthly retainer ($2-8K depending on scope) or hand maintenance off to your in-house team — we do a knowledge-transfer session before the project closes either way.
Who owns the code we deliver?
You do, fully. Source code, prompts, configurations, deployment docs all transfer to your repo or your hosting at handoff. No license, no ongoing fees to use what we built. We do retain the right to reference the build (anonymized) as a case study unless you prefer otherwise.
What about hosting and ongoing infrastructure costs?
You pay your own infrastructure costs (hosting, AI API tokens, database). We don't mark these up. We help you set up cost monitoring during build so the ongoing run-rate is visible from day one.
What's a typical timeline?
Most builds land in 1-3 weeks from scope-lock. Simpler integrations and WordPress plugins are 1-3 weeks. Larger web apps with multi-user auth and complex data models are 2-6 weeks. We give you a specific timeline at scope-lock, not 'it depends.'
Do I need to be already engaged in consulting to hire you for a build?
No, but most builds come out of consulting engagements where we've already mapped the problem. If you walk in cold with a clear build spec, we'll still take the work — but expect the scoping call to focus on validating the spec before we agree on a price.
What stack do you build on?
We pick the stack that fits the scope, not the stack we're loyal to. Most builds end up on Next.js or WordPress on the front end, Postgres or MySQL for data, and the AI API (Claude, OpenAI, or open-weights) that fits the task. We adapt to your existing stack where it makes sense.
Can you work alongside our internal dev team?
Yes. About a third of our engagements are embedded — we ship the AI-specific parts and your team owns the rest. Knowledge transfer happens continuously rather than at the end. This works well when your team is capable but doesn't have AI-specific experience yet.
What does a build typically cost?
Most builds land between $25K and $150K depending on scope, with simpler WordPress plugins at the low end and multi-user web apps with complex integrations at the high end. We commit to a flat fee or milestone schedule at scope-lock, not hourly.

Already in conversation?

The strategy call is where scope gets defined. If we're already talking and you want to see whether your build is in the territory above, the next step is a 30-min scoping call.

Pricing happens in the call. Each build is scope-driven, not menu-priced.
