Ask a question01Do you build the whole product or just the AI feature for Castro clients?
Either — I can own a single AI feature inside your existing product, or build the full product end to end.
02What's your tech stack?
Next.js/React on the frontend, Node or Python on the backend, and OpenAI/Anthropic APIs or open-source models depending on the task.
03How do you decide if AI is the right solution?
I start by scoping the user problem without assuming AI is the answer — sometimes a simple rule beats a model.
04Can you join an existing Castro engineering team?
Yes — I regularly plug in as the AI specialist inside an existing team, not just as an outside vendor.
05What does an AI product engineering engagement cost in Castro?
Cost depends on whether it's a scoped single feature inside an existing Castro product or a full end-to-end build. A fast prototype phase is typically priced separately from the production-hardened build that follows it.
06How is this different from hiring a GenAI engineer directly for Castro?
A GenAI engineer typically starts once the feature is already scoped; this covers the product decision itself — user research, UX design, and whether AI is even the right approach — before any prompt gets written for your Castro product.
07How long from idea to a validated prototype for our Castro users?
A testable prototype to validate the concept with real Castro users typically ships within 2-4 weeks; the hardened, production-ready version follows once that direction is confirmed.
08Is this a good fit if we already know exactly what AI feature we want built?
Yes, though the scoping phase still happens quickly to confirm the approach — if your Castro team's direction holds up, we move straight into building rather than re-litigating the idea.
09What happens in the first week for a Castro product team?
The first week is discovery — understanding your Castro users and confirming where AI genuinely adds value — before any prototype work begins.
