04 / AI SOLUTIONS
We build AI that does a real job.
Not a ChatGPT wrapper. Custom AI built around how your business actually runs — trained on your content, wired into your tools, and measured against an outcome you can name.
- AI ChatbotsA bot trained on your business that answers with real prices and books real appointments.
- Process AutomationThe repetitive work between your tools, handled so your team can stop doing it by hand.
- Custom AI AppsAI built into the tools you already pay for, through real APIs, not a bolt-on.
- Data IntelligenceYour scattered docs turned into grounded answers instead of confident guesses.
- AI MVP CleanupWe take a rushed, vibe-coded build and rebuild the front-end properly.
01 / Capabilities
Four ways AI earns its place.
Four ways AI earns its desk. Pick the one that matches where you are.
01
AI Chatbots
Custom chatbots trained on your docs, pricing, and past tickets — then connected to your calendar, CRM, and helpdesk. They answer with your real prices, book against your real calendar, and hand off to a human at the line they shouldn't cross. Not a search box.
02
Process Automation
The repetitive work between your tools, handled. Qualify a lead and push it to the CRM, triage an inbound ticket, pull an order status, draft the follow-up. We wire AI into the steps your team does by hand every day so the busywork runs itself.
03
Custom AI Apps & Integrations
AI that lives inside the tools you already pay for — HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Zendesk, Stripe, Shopify. Connected through real APIs, scoped to your auth, built to fit your workflow instead of forcing a new one. Your stack, made smarter.
04
Data Intelligence / RAG
Your scattered knowledge, made answerable. We structure your docs, FAQs, and records into a retrieval layer so the model pulls the right answer instead of a plausible-sounding one. Grounded answers, not guesses.
02 / How it works
How it happens.
Four steps. Every project, every time. No guesswork, no surprises.
- 01
Listen
We map the job the AI has to do. Which questions, which customers, which systems, which outcome we measure it against.
- 02
Design
Conversation flow, knowledge scope, guardrails, and the fallback to a human. The map before the model — so the AI knows where its edges are.
- 03
Build
Train on your real content, connect to your real tools, and test against real queries in staging. No prompt surprises on launch day.
- 04
Grow
Monthly review of real conversations. Refine the prompts, fill the knowledge gaps, expand the capability as the business does.
03 / Proof

Why Design Foundry
Three reasons AI projects actually ship.
Not ChatGPT with a button
A generic model answers "what are your prices" with "prices vary." A bot built on your business answers it with your real price. That one difference decides whether the visitor leaves or books.
Enterprise scope. SMB price.
Big agencies open AI work at $75K. You need the same rigor — testing, guardrails, real integrations — at a fraction of that. We built the desk around that exact gap.
One wrong answer breaks trust
AI in front of a customer needs guardrails, testing against real questions, and a human path when it hits its limit. A Fiverr prompt gig doesn't ship that. We do.

Common questions
Handle pre-sales questions, qualify leads and hand them to a human, book appointments, answer pricing accurately, triage support tickets, and pull data from your CRM or helpdesk. It works like an employee, not a search box.
ChatGPT doesn't know your business. A custom build is trained on your content, connected to your tools, bounded by your rules, and branded to your site. It answers like your best employee, not a general model.
Yes. We deploy on providers with enterprise data terms, opt out of model training by default, and scope access through your existing auth. For regulated industries we document the data flow and sign an NDA before scoping.
Anything with an API. Common ones: HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, Calendly, Stripe, Shopify, and most major CMS platforms. Custom integrations are on the table for the rest.
Most chatbot deployments run four to six weeks. Builds start at $3,500 with a monthly runtime retainer from around $200 — that covers model usage, hosting, and monthly tuning. You get real numbers after the scope call, not a price ladder.
Yes. That's AI MVP Cleanup: we take a vibe-coded prototype or rushed build, fix the flows and UI, and rebuild the front-end properly in React, Next.js, and Tailwind. We keep the momentum you paid for instead of restarting.
