- All builds use stable libraries, semantic HTML, and documented architecture.
- All builds shipped with engine optimization (SEO + AEO + AIO + GEO) baked in from line one.

## Service lines

That AI Guy ships five service lines. Clients can buy one standalone or combine them.

### 1. Custom AI Integration — from $1,997
URL: https://thataiguy.org/services/ai-integration/

Custom AI integrations for small business: chatbots that know your products, retrieval-augmented generation grounded in your private knowledge base, vector search across years of internal documents, voice and audio interfaces, vision and OCR for paper-heavy operations, and private fine tuning when an off-the-shelf model is not enough.

What we build:
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with private vector databases (pgvector or Qdrant), document chunking and embedding pipelines, citation-back-to-source, and role-based access. The single highest-leverage AI integration for any business with a knowledge base. From $4,997.
- Custom chatbots trained on your products, policies, and tone. Embedded on your site or inside Slack, Teams, or Zendesk. Multi-turn memory, human handoff, full transcripts. From $1,997.
- Voice and audio integrations: real-time speech to text, text to speech, voice-driven workflows, phone agent automation, meeting transcription with action items. Built on OpenAI Realtime, ElevenLabs, Twilio.
- Vision and OCR: document parsing, ID verification, receipt extraction, form recognition. Built on Claude vision and GPT-4o vision. HIPAA-aware pipelines available.
- Private fine tuning: dataset curation, training (LoRA or full fine tune), evaluation harness, and deployment on your hardware or a private endpoint. Your model, your weights.

Pricing tiers:
- Starter chatbot: $1,997 (2-3 weeks)
- RAG system: $4,997 (3-5 weeks)
- Custom multi-modal build: $9,997+ (6-12 weeks)

Models we build with: Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), Llama, Mistral, custom fine tunes. We pick the model that fits the use case.

### 2. SaaS Development — from $4,997
URL: https://thataiguy.org/services/saas-development/

Multi-tenant SaaS products built end to end. Authentication, billing, role-based access, AI-native architecture, observability, and a deployment pipeline shipped on the first day, not bolted on after launch.

Day one foundations:
- Multi-tenant from line one: row-level tenant isolation in Postgres, every query scoped by tenant ID
- Real authentication: email + password, magic link, OAuth (Google, GitHub, Apple), SSO when needed, passkeys ready
- Stripe billing: plans, seats, usage-based metering, trials, dunning, customer portal — the whole loop
- AI native: RAG against tenant data, chat surfaces, intelligent search, embeddings indexed per tenant
- Observability: structured logs, traces, metrics, error tracking. Sentry + Logtail + Posthog or your own stack
- CI/CD and infra-as-code: GitHub Actions deploys on push to main, database migrations versioned, Terraform or Pulumi describing infrastructure

Phases: MVP (week 1-6) → multi-tenant (week 7-9) → AI features (week 10-12) → scale (ongoing).

Pricing tiers:
- SaaS MVP: $4,997 (6 weeks fixed)
- SaaS production (multi-tenant + AI native): $14,997 (10-12 weeks)
- SaaS scale-up (AI augmentation of existing app): $9,997+ (scope dependent)

Default stack: Next.js, FastAPI, Postgres 16 with pgvector, Redis, Stripe, Cloudflare.

### 3. Custom Software — from $2,497
URL: https://thataiguy.org/services/custom-software/

Custom software that fixes the bottlenecks no off-the-shelf tool addresses: internal admin panels, data pipelines, custom APIs, automation workflows, integrations between the four SaaS tools your team already uses.

What we build:
- Internal admin tools: purpose-built admin panels for operations teams. The single highest-leverage custom build for most small businesses.
- API integrations: connect Square to Stripe to QuickBooks to your CRM. Stop paying Zapier $300/month for what is actually 80 lines of code.
- Automation workflows: replace manual data entry with code that runs on schedule or in response to events.
- Data pipelines: ETL between systems, scheduled reports, dashboards, exports.
- APIs (yours, public or private): REST or GraphQL, OpenAPI spec, auth, rate limits, documentation.

When custom software is the right call: you have a workflow specific to your business, per-seat SaaS is eating margin, you export between three tools weekly, the SaaS roadmap moved away from your use case.

Pricing tiers:
- Tactical fix (one automation): $2,497 (2 weeks fixed)
- Internal tool (custom admin panel): $7,497 (4-6 weeks)
- Platform build (multi-system integration): $14,997+ (scope dependent)

### 4. Hand Coded Websites — from $597
URL: https://thataiguy.org/services/web-development/

Hand coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript websites. No WordPress, no template framework, no 4 megabytes of unused JavaScript. Schema-first architecture, full Core Web Vitals compliance, llms.txt and engine optimization built in from line one.

Six tiers:
- Tier 1 / Starter: $597 (1 week) — 1 page, schema, llms.txt, Core Web Vitals green
- Tier 2 / Standard: $997 (1-2 weeks) — up to 5 pages
- Tier 3 / Plus: $1,497 (2 weeks) — up to 12 pages + AEO. Most clients pick this.
- Tier 4 / Architecture: $1,997 (3 weeks) — up to 25 pages, content architecture
- Tier 5 / Business OS: $2,497 (4 weeks) — site + custom forms + automations
- Tier 6 / Enterprise: $2,997 (6 weeks) — multi-section site + AI surface + WCAG 2.1 AA

Why hand coded beats template stacks:
- Sub-second paint (15-50KB initial HTML)
- Still works in 5 years (the 2020 sites we built still rank in 2026)
- $0/month hosting if you want (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, GitHub Pages, cheap VPS)
- Schema-first per-entity (ProfessionalService, Person, Service, FAQPage, Speakable)
- WCAG 2.1 AA on day one (real semantic HTML, not an overlay widget)
- Smaller security surface area (no PHP, no plugin ecosystem, no admin to brute-force)
