We design and build production-ready AI applications using the latest LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, and custom model fine-tuning. Every solution is built for your specific business workflow — not an off-the-shelf chatbot or generic automation. Hastings' creative and digital scene is growing rapidly, with ambitious independent businesses, creative studios, and hospitality businesses all needing modern web development and AI tools to match their growth.
