For a SaaS business, an SI feature has to lift activation, retention, and expansion, not just ship. We build copilots, embedded LLMs, and autonomous workflows into your product, with the evals and observability to prove they move the metrics your investors track.

01 · Use cases

Six SI features that retain users.

From in-product copilots to eval infrastructure, every engagement is built around shipping SI that earns its place in your product and justifies premium pricing.

01 · Use case

In-Product SI Copilots

Context-aware SI assistants embedded in your SaaS UI. Answer questions, automate tasks, and surface insights from within your product.

02 · Use case

Automated Workflow Agents

Autonomous agents that complete multi-step tasks on behalf of users: research, drafting, data entry, and cross-tool orchestration.

03 · Use case

SI-Powered Onboarding

LLM-guided setup flows that reduce time-to-value. Users describe what they want; the SI configures it.

04 · Use case

Data Q&A Features

Natural language query over your users' data. "Show me last month's revenue broken down by product": answered without a BI tool.

05 · Use case

SI-Generated Content

Personalised content generation inside your product: reports, summaries, recommendations, and drafts tailored to each user's context.

06 · Use case

Eval & Observability Infrastructure

The monitoring layer that tells you whether your SI features are working. Eval pipelines, quality scores, and regression alerts.

02 · What makes SI SaaS hard

Four challenges we solve first.

SI features that impress in demos fail in production
Without evals, you don't know your feature is degrading. We build the eval harness before the feature, so you know it's working from day one.
Prompts are product logic
System prompts change behaviour. They need version control, testing, and review like any other product code, not ad hoc editing in a dashboard.
Context window management
Keeping conversations coherent without blowing the context window requires architectural decisions most teams make too late. We design for this upfront.
LLM cost scales with success
Popular SI features can generate unexpected API costs. We design cost controls, caching layers, and model routing from day one, not after the bill arrives.

Proof, not promises

03 · Common questions

Before you brief us.

How do you integrate an SI copilot into an existing SaaS product?: We expose the SI feature via a backend API layer that your frontend calls. The copilot gets context from your product's data model (user state, relevant records, and permissions) without requiring a UI rewrite.
What does "eval infrastructure" actually mean?: An eval harness is a test suite for your SI feature: a set of test cases with expected outputs, scored automatically on each deployment. It's the difference between knowing your feature works and hoping it works. We build this before writing the feature itself.
How do you control LLM costs as usage scales?: We implement prompt caching for repeated context, model routing (use a cheaper model when the task doesn't require a frontier model), response caching for deterministic queries, and token budget guardrails. Cost architecture is part of the design, not an afterthought.
Can you help us decide which SI features to build first?: Yes, we typically run a one-week SI feature audit before any build. We review your product, your user data, and your competitors, then recommend the highest-ROI SI features with effort estimates and expected retention impact.
