The problem

Your AI POC worked. Now what?

Buyers recognise these before they care about architecture. If several sound familiar, the prototype is not the hard part.

Our AWS GenAI practice moves AI from experimentation to secure, measurable production systems.

  • AI responses are inaccurate or hallucinate
  • Models cannot securely access company data
  • Token usage and inference costs are unpredictable
  • AI applications have high latency
  • Nobody knows which model to choose
  • Sensitive or PII data may reach an LLM
  • Security teams cannot audit prompts and responses
  • Prototypes do not scale into production
  • There is no monitoring or governance
  • Teams are experimenting independently
  • Self-hosted models are operationally expensive
  • AI agents have excessive permissions

What the practice delivers

Six services that cover the path from first use case to a governed production platform.

  • GenAI Readiness Assessment

    Business use-case discovery, data readiness, architecture assessment, model selection, security review, cost estimation and a roadmap.

  • Generative AI Application Development

    Internal copilots, assistants, summarisation, search, content generation and domain-specific AI applications.

  • Enterprise RAG

    Secure AI search over documents, databases, knowledge bases and enterprise systems, with citations and access control.

  • AI Agents and Automation

    Agents that reason, call APIs, run workflows and integrate with enterprise systems, inside permission boundaries.

  • Model Evaluation and Optimisation

    Model comparison, latency testing, token optimisation, prompt engineering and quality evaluation against your own data.

  • AI Security and Governance

    Guardrails, IAM, PII protection, prompt security, model access controls, logging and governance.

Solutions we build

Specific systems, each with a data source, a model and a workflow around it.

  • Enterprise AI Assistant

    Ask questions across internal documents, policies, manuals, tickets and company knowledge.

  • AI Customer Support

    Use customer history and knowledge bases to generate contextual responses and automate support workflows.

  • Document Intelligence

    Extract, classify, summarise and reason over contracts, invoices, reports and large document collections.

  • AI DevOps Assistant

    Analyse logs, incidents, infrastructure and operational data to help engineers troubleshoot systems.

  • Security Copilot

    Investigate security findings, explain vulnerabilities and recommend remediation.

  • AI Sales Assistant

    Research accounts, summarise conversations, generate proposals and prepare teams for meetings.

  • AI Knowledge Search

    Replace keyword search with natural-language enterprise search over everything you already store.

  • AI Agents

    Understand a request, reason, query company data, call tools, request approval, execute and validate the outcome.

How an agent request runs

Reasoning is only useful when it can act. Every action passes an approval gate and is validated afterwards.

  1. 1Understand request
  2. 2Reason
  3. 3Query company data
  4. 4Call APIs and tools
  5. 5Request approval
  6. 6Execute action
  7. 7Validate outcome

GenAI case studies

Published work on Amazon Bedrock, plus an engagement we can describe without naming the client.

  • Bagmane Group

    AI-powered smart building energy optimization

    Problem

    Energy telemetry across multi-tenant business parks was fragmented, anomalies surfaced only on utility bills and peak demand was hard to anticipate.

    Approach

    • Ingested smart-meter and sensor telemetry through AWS IoT Core into Timestream and S3
    • Trained SageMaker models for consumption forecasting and per-building anomaly detection
    • Used Amazon Bedrock to turn forecasts and anomalies into plain-language recommendations

    Outcome

    Near real-time visibility across the portfolio, earlier detection of abnormal usage and explainable recommendations facility teams can act on.

    Read the full case study
  • Dedups.ai

    AI-powered autonomous cloud security operations

    Problem

    High volumes of security findings needed manual correlation, prioritisation and remediation prep, leaving misconfigurations exposed longer than acceptable.

    Approach

    • Routed Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector and Config findings through EventBridge into Step Functions workflows
    • Used Amazon Bedrock to explain root cause, assess impact and generate standardised remediation
    • Added human approval gates and post-remediation verification, with evidence stored in S3

    Outcome

    Faster response to high-risk issues, consistent remediation and a complete audit trail, with humans in control of every consequential action.

  • Client name withheld

    Moving self-hosted GenAI workloads to Amazon Bedrock

    Problem

    The customer's self-hosted LLM environment on Ollama experienced latency and model response timeouts as usage grew.

    Approach

    • Evaluated GenAI readiness and reviewed the existing architecture
    • Evaluated managed foundation models on Amazon Bedrock against the self-hosted models
    • Designed an AWS architecture using Amazon Bedrock, with AWS Lambda for application workflows
    • Implemented CloudWatch monitoring for latency, errors and token usage

    Outcome

    A production-oriented architecture and POC roadmap for migrating the workload to managed AWS GenAI services.

  • Model selection
  • Input tokens
  • Output tokens
  • Context size
  • Prompt caching
  • RAG retrieval
  • Model routing
  • Inference architecture
  • Serverless infrastructure
  • Observability

GroundingFactual consistency with retrieved context
LatencyTime to first token and full response
ContextRequired context window
CostCost per request at expected volume
SecurityData residency and handling requirements

Cloud, AI and security under one team

AWS infrastructure+Generative AI+Cybersecurity+Automation
  • AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner
  • ISO 27001 certified
  • AWS-native architecture

    Serverless-first designs on Bedrock, Lambda, Step Functions and OpenSearch, built as code.

  • Production-focused engineering

    IAM, CI/CD, monitoring and cost controls are part of the build, not a later phase.

  • Security-first GenAI

    The same team runs VAPT and DevSecOps, so guardrails and permission boundaries are designed in.

  • Infrastructure plus AI

    We already operate the AWS estates these workloads run on, 24x7.

  • Automation and agent engineering

    Approval-gated agents for operations and security are systems we have shipped.

  • Cost-conscious by default

    Token, retrieval and inference economics are measured from the first prototype.

Questions buyers ask

Do we have to use Amazon Bedrock?

No. Bedrock is our default because it gives access to several model families without running model infrastructure, keeps data inside your AWS account and integrates with IAM, KMS and CloudTrail. Where a workload needs a custom or fine-tuned model we use Amazon SageMaker, and we will say so when self-hosting is genuinely the better fit.

How do you stop the model from seeing data it should not?

Retrieval is filtered by the user's permissions before anything reaches the model, PII is detected and redacted where required, and models are reached over private networking. Every prompt and response is logged so security teams can audit what was sent. Agents run under least-privilege roles with approval gates for consequential actions.

What does a GenAI readiness assessment produce?

A shortlist of use cases ranked by value and feasibility, a target AWS architecture, a model recommendation backed by evaluation on your data, a security assessment, a cost model at expected volume and an implementation roadmap. It takes about two weeks.

How do you control GenAI cost?

We measure tokens per request from the first prototype, then work the levers: model selection and routing, prompt and context size, caching, retrieval precision and serverless inference architecture. Costs are tagged and visible in the same FinOps reporting we run for the rest of your AWS spend.

Can you migrate us from OpenAI, Azure OpenAI or a self-hosted model?

Yes. The Bedrock Migration Assessment compares your current models against Bedrock options on accuracy, latency and cost using your own prompts, then produces a target architecture and migration plan. We have done this for a self-hosted Ollama estate that was hitting latency and timeout limits.

Which industries and regions do you work in?

Most of our GenAI work is with SaaS, fintech, healthcare, retail and cybersecurity companies in India and abroad. Workloads can be kept in Indian AWS regions with residency controls, and we document any service that is only available elsewhere so you can decide.

Have a GenAI use case in mind?

Speak with an AWS GenAI architect and we will help determine the architecture, model, security requirements and estimated AWS cost. No sales deck. Bring your use case and architecture questions.
