Human-in-the-Loop AI Development

AI writes the code.
Humans make it production-ready.

Dedicated dev teams — part-time or full-time, monthly — who are expert in Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and the full modern AI stack. We review, harden, and ship what AI agents draft.

Without Human Review

AI agents ship fast — but they ship blind spots, too

AI coding tools generate impressive code at speed. But without expert human oversight, that code accumulates silent risks that compound over time.

Hallucinated API calls & non-existent library methods
Hardcoded secrets, exposed env vars, missing auth checks
SQL injection, XSS, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

Human-in-the-loop devs who make AI output production-grade

Our engineers don't replace AI tools — they supercharge them. Every line gets reviewed, hardened, tested, and monitored by developers fluent in the full AI/ML stack.

Security audits on every AI-generated PR — OWASP, SAST, secrets scanning
Architecture review for scalability, not just MVP hacks
Arize-powered observability for model drift & inference monitoring
Proper CI/CD, test coverage, and staging environments
Async workflow — we review while you sleep (12hr timezone edge)

What human review actually catches

AI-generated code can look correct and still be dangerously wrong. Here's a real-world pattern our engineers catch every day.

AI-powered fraud detection pipeline — hardened for SOC 2 compliance

A mid-market fintech used Copilot to build a real-time fraud scoring API. Our part-time team (2 engineers, 20 hrs/week) caught 23 critical vulnerabilities in the AI-generated code — including unencrypted PII in logs, missing rate limits on scoring endpoints, and a model inference pipeline with no drift monitoring. We added Arize observability, parameterized all queries, and deployed on Azure AI with proper key rotation.

Predictive maintenance platform built with Claude — reviewed for safety-critical systems

An industrial equipment manufacturer used Claude to generate a predictive maintenance system analyzing sensor data from 200+ machines. Our full-time pod rewrote the AI-generated inference layer to handle edge cases Claude missed — null sensor readings, out-of-range values, and network timeouts. We added MLflow model versioning and Weights & Biases experiment tracking to ensure model accuracy over time.

Connected vehicle data platform — AI-assisted development with human safety gates

A Tier 1 automotive supplier needed to build a connected vehicle telematics platform processing 50M events/day. Their engineers used Cursor and Claude for rapid prototyping. Our security QA pod caught API auth bypasses, unsanitized VIN inputs, and missing encryption on vehicle location data. We hardened the pipeline and set up LangSmith tracing for their AI-powered diagnostic chatbot.

Patient intake AI assistant — secured for HIPAA and deployed on Azure

A digital health startup built an AI-powered patient intake assistant using LangChain and Claude. Our part-time team found the AI-generated code was logging full patient conversations (including PHI) to unencrypted storage, had no prompt injection guardrails, and lacked audit trails. We rewrote the data layer, added PII redaction, built prompt injection testing suites, and deployed with Arize monitoring for hallucination detection.

Smart grid optimization — AI models monitored with Arize for real-time drift detection

A regional utility company used Copilot to build demand forecasting models for grid load balancing. The AI-generated training pipeline had data leakage issues, the inference API had no authentication, and model predictions were drifting with no alerting. Our ML ops team restructured the pipeline, added Arize for drift detection and model performance monitoring, and deployed on AWS Bedrock with proper IAM policies.

AI customer service agent — from Cursor prototype to enterprise-grade deployment

A mid-size telco built an AI customer service agent using Cursor and OpenAI APIs. The Cursor-generated code had hardcoded API keys, no conversation memory management, and was sending full customer account details to the LLM with no PII masking. Our full-time team rebuilt the agent orchestration with LangChain, added PII detection, implemented proper conversation windowing, and set up W&B for tracking response quality metrics.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about working with our AI-augmented dev teams.

Our engineers are fluent in Claude (Anthropic), Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI APIs for code generation. For MLOps, we use Arize for observability, Weights & Biases for experiment tracking, MLflow for model lifecycle, and deploy on Azure AI, AWS Bedrock, or GCP Vertex depending on your stack. We also work extensively with LangChain/LangSmith for agent orchestration.

You get a dedicated senior engineer (~20 hours/week) who integrates with your GitHub/GitLab workflow. They review every AI-generated PR for security, architecture, and correctness. Billed monthly, cancel anytime. Most clients start here and scale up as they see results.

Absolutely. We help teams configure Cursor workspaces, write custom Claude system prompts for their codebase, set up Copilot enterprise policies, and build internal AI coding guidelines. We also train your existing devs on prompt engineering best practices for code generation.

Yes. Our ML engineers handle fine-tuning workflows on Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, or custom GPU infrastructure. We set up training pipelines, manage datasets, run evals, and deploy models to production with proper monitoring via Arize and W&B.

Two things: AI fluency and the human-in-the-loop model. Traditional shops write code from scratch. We leverage AI tools to move 3–5x faster, then apply senior human judgment for security, architecture, and production readiness. Our 12-hour timezone advantage means reviews happen overnight — you wake up to hardened, shippable code.

Every PR goes through our security checklist: SAST scanning, secrets detection, OWASP Top 10 review, dependency auditing, and prompt injection testing for AI-facing code. We also set up automated security gates in your CI/CD pipeline so nothing ships without passing these checks.

AI writes fast. Humans ship safe.
