Engineered, shipped, and operated in production

We build the systems businesses run on.

AI systems, platforms and applications for companies that need them working in production — not demonstrated in a meeting. We research, build, test and deploy with agentic tooling, so a prototype takes days and a production system takes weeks. Principal-led from architecture to the incident at 2am.

Every engagement starts the same way: thirty minutes, then a researched plan within 24 hours — what to build, in what order, and what we would leave alone. Free, and yours to keep.

Answering now

Do you deliver to Pune, and what is the lead time on 500 units?

Yes — Pune is next-day on stock items. At 500 units it is 6–8 working days, and I can hold that quantity for 48 hours while you decide.

Answered from your own delivery policy

Can someone call me tomorrow morning?

Booked — tomorrow, 10:30. You will get the invite by email, and I have passed the quantity on so nobody asks you twice.

Enquiry captured at 21:47. Nobody was awake.

The enquiry above arrived at 21:47, was answered from the company’s own delivery policy, and booked itself into the diary. Nobody was awake for any of it.

It is the cheapest thing we build and usually the first to pay for itself, because the traffic arriving at your homepage is traffic you have already paid for.

Our own products

We do not just build this. We run it.

Two products of ours, live, with paying customers. Every claim on this site about operating AI in production — evals, monitoring, cost ceilings, agents that finish a task rather than reply to it — comes from running these.

AI visibilityBuilt & operated by us

GenAI Ranker

A platform that diagnoses and fixes how AI assistants describe your brand.

Your reputation is no longer page one of Google. It is the one answer an assistant gives, and most brands have never read it.

Measures how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and AI Overviews describe a brand
Finds the root cause behind a bad answer rather than reporting a score
Builds a verified correction from the brand’s own facts, and proves the change
Multi-tenant, running across six model providers with cost governed per tenant

Everything we know about orchestrating several model providers in production, keeping spend under a ceiling and detecting when a model starts saying something false, we learned running this.

Go and use it — genairanker.com

AI supportBuilt & operated by us

Agastya

An AI customer-support platform that answers every channel — and finishes the job.

Most support AI replies. This one completes the task in your CRM, on your existing number, in the language the customer actually speaks.

Answers calls, WhatsApp, chat and email in natural Indian languages
Completes the task in the CRM instead of handing back a transcript
Plug-and-play on the phone number a business already uses
Voice notes in, resolution out — the way Indian customers already message

Voice, WhatsApp, escalation rules, and what it takes for an agent to act on a real system rather than talk about it — this is where our opinions about all of that come from.

What we build

Three ways this usually starts.

None of it is priced on a card, because what it costs depends on how your business runs. That is what the diagnostic is for — and it is free. What does not vary is the pace: agentic tooling through research, build and test means weeks where this work used to take quarters.

AI systems, in production

Companies whose people spend their days on work a system should be doing — answering the same questions, rekeying the same data, reading the same documents.

The work still happens when nobody is watching it, and you can see exactly what the system did and why.

Agents on WhatsApp, voice and web, answering from your own data
Document and back-office processing, cited rather than guessed
Retrieval and integrations across the tools you already run
Evaluations, monitoring and a human approval gate where being wrong is expensive
Operated in production after launch, not handed over and forgotten

Working prototype in days. In production in 2–4 weeks, then operated monthly.

See the work

Platforms and products

Companies running a real operation on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, or software that was built for a smaller version of the business.

One system your team and your customers actually use, that holds up as the volume grows.

Customer portals, internal platforms and operational software
The integrations between what you already run — CRM, payments, accounting, ERP
Architecture designed for the load you will have, not the load you have
Built by the engineers who designed it, with no juniors on discovery
Agentic tooling through research, build and test — weeks, not quarters
Documentation, handover and the code in your ownership

First working version in 2–3 weeks. Most builds ship inside six.

See the work

An engineering team, embedded

Companies with more to build than to hire for, or a product with nobody senior left to own it.

Engineering capacity that starts in days, and stays accountable for what it ships.

A senior team working as your engineering function
Roadmap, architecture and delivery owned end to end
Your tools, your repositories, your process
Scaled up or down by the month, with no notice period to buy out
Everything documented so you are never dependent on us to continue

Starts within days. Monthly, one-month minimum, no lock-in.

Start with the plan, not the quote

Thirty minutes on how your business actually runs, then a researched engineering plan within 24 hours: what is worth building, in what order, what it will change, and what we would not build at all. It is free, it is yours to keep, and it is the only honest way to arrive at a price.

Where every engagement starts

You probably came here with one of these.

Every one is a sentence a client has actually said to us. If two sound like your business, the free diagnostic tells you what they cost and which to fix first.

“Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp at all hours and we answer them when we can.”

The message that lands at 9pm is answered tomorrow, by which time they have asked someone else. Nobody counts these, because they never became enquiries.

What we do about it Voice

“We miss calls all day and I could not tell you how many.”

The most expensive number in the business and the one nobody measures. An unanswered call never appears in a report — it appears in a competitor’s revenue.

What we do about it Support

“My best people spend their day answering the same twenty questions.”

Senior time going into answers that are already written down somewhere, and a queue that gets longer every time the business grows.

What we do about it Back office

“Every time volume goes up, headcount goes up with it.”

A cost base that scales linearly with revenue when it does not have to, and a margin that never improves however much you sell.

What we do about it Platform

“Our systems do not talk to each other, so people are the integration.”

You are paying salaries to move data between screens, and buying the error rate that comes with it.

What we do about it Strategy

“We have bought AI tools and cannot show what they returned.”

Licence spend with single-digit adoption, and a board question nobody in the room can answer.

What we do about it Operate

“We built something with AI and now nobody owns it.”

Accuracy drifting, running costs creeping, and a model deprecation nobody is watching for — until a customer finds it first.

What we do about it AI search

“Buyers ask ChatGPT about our category and we have no idea what it says.”

Consideration happening somewhere no analytics can see. It does not show up as a decline — it shows up as pipeline that never existed.

What we do about it

None of these sound like you? Tell us what does — the diagnostic is free either way, and we will say so if AI is not the answer.

Services

Five services. Engineered, then operated.

Four are engineering. The fifth makes sure somebody arrives at what we built. Each has a scope, a timeline and a number it moves.

Where every engagement starts

We build the first one before you pay us. Free.

A 30-minute call, a written engineering plan back within 24 hours, then a working prototype on your own data. Three stages, all free, all yours to keep.

How the diagnostic works

How we work

Principal-led, from architecture to production.

Every engagement is principal-led. The people who architect your system are the people who build it, and the people accountable for it once it is carrying real traffic.

Principal-led, end to end

No pitch team handing you to a delivery team. The person in your first meeting owns the architecture, the build and the production behaviour — and is reachable when something is on fire.

We work to your engineering standard

Your repository, your code review, your release process, your definition of done. Where you have no standard, we bring ours: eval gates in CI, tracing, audit logging and a documented architecture.

Strategy and delivery in one firm

Consultancies hand over a deck. Integrators build whatever the deck said. We are accountable for both halves, which is why we are careful about what goes into the plan in the first place.

We own it in production

Accuracy monitoring, eval regressions, model migrations, cost ceilings and a monthly report. The value of an AI system is decided in the eighteen months after launch, and that is the part most firms are not there for.

Yours

The repository, the accounts and the credentials — from the first commit

We would rather earn the next project than lock you into this one.

2–4 wks

From first call to an AI system running in production

We build with agentic tooling. Weeks, not quarters.

Markup on model and infrastructure costs

Billed at cost against a ceiling you approve

24/7

Accuracy, drift and spend monitoring on everything we run

With a measured number in your inbox every month

For enterprise buyers

Enterprise-ready before you ask.

AI stalls inside large organisations for reasons that are almost never technical. All six are designed in from the first architecture session.

Data residency and security

Regional endpoints, in-VPC deployment, PII redaction, full audit logging.

Accuracy you can govern

A pass threshold agreed in writing before go-live, measured continuously after.

Human oversight by design

Approval gates sized to what an error costs, not to what demos well.

Cost governance

Model costs at cost, against a ceiling you approve. Never marked up.

Commercial and procurement

MSA, DPA, defined SLAs, a named lead. US clients contract with our Wyoming LLC; everyone else with the Indian entity.

Executive reporting

Numbers that reconcile, and a recommendation for whoever defends the budget.

Why us

Most AI projects die after the demo.

The model underneath changes, accuracy drifts, costs creep, and nobody is left watching. Six things we do about that — all of them checkable before you sign.

We ship production AI — including our own

GenAI Ranker is our product: multi-tenant, six model providers orchestrated, row-level tenant isolation, live billing and real incident nights. Most firms selling AI can show you a prototype. We can show you a production system we own, operate and are paged for — and you can watch us open it in the meeting.

We build with agentic AI — fast, and still disciplined

Our own delivery runs on agentic tooling, which is why an agent is live in days rather than a quarter. The speed does not come out of the quality budget: eval suites, regression gates, tracing, guardrails and cost ceilings are still there, because that is what makes it survive contact with real users.

We argue about the business case, not just the architecture

We cost the current process before proposing a system, and we can defend the build to a finance committee as well as to an architecture review. Most AI vendors are fluent in one of those conversations. The one your board will actually hold is usually the other.

We never mark up model or infrastructure costs

Billed at cost against a ceiling you approve. A margin on tokens would corrupt every architectural decision we make on your behalf — model choice, caching, routing, context size, all of it.

We build the demand layer too

A platform nobody arrives at and an agent nobody talks to are worth nothing. We run the search, content and campaigns that feed what we build, instrumented end to end — so the system and the demand for it are designed together.

We keep it running

Monitoring, retraining, eval regressions, model migrations and cost control after launch. Most firms hand over and vanish, right before the model underneath gets deprecated. That gap is the whole reason clients stay with us.

In the agreement

Things you can hold us to.

Written into the contract, not asserted on a website. These are the terms most firms will not put in writing.

A fixed price before we start

An accuracy number, not a promise

Model costs at cost, always

A running-cost ceiling

We will tell you not to buy something

A named person who answers

Each one is a clause, not a claim. How we work sets out what each means in practice.

Where to start

Five ways in. All of them free.

Whichever fits, you keep what comes back — whether or not you go further with us.

“Our website looks dated and brings almost no enquiries.”

A free homepage designSend the URL. A designed new homepage comes back within two working days.

“Enquiries arrive at 9pm and nobody answers until Monday.”

A free working POCYour own homepage, with an agent on it that answers, qualifies and books. 48 hours.

“A process here eats hours every week and I think software should do it.”

A free engineering planThirty minutes, then a researched plan in 24 hours — including where not to build.

“I know what I want built. I just need a scope and a number.”

A written quote todayTell us what you need. A scope, a timeline and a figure come back the same working day.

“I have no idea what ChatGPT says about us when buyers ask.”

A free visibility scanYour brand across six AI engines, and who gets named instead of you.

No call required

Tell us what you need. Get a figure today.

One or two sentences is enough. You get back what we would build, how long it takes and what it costs — the same working day, in writing. If a call would be quicker, the calendar is one click away instead.

Straight answers

Questions we get before the first call.

Written plainly, so a person and an AI engine can both quote them accurately.

What does Geeks & Nomads do?

We are an applied AI engineering firm. We study how a business actually runs, produce a free Opportunity Diagnostic showing where AI would pay and where it would not, and then build and operate the systems end to end — AI agents on WhatsApp, voice and web, custom AI software and agentic workflows, the digital platforms and integrations underneath them, and the search and campaigns that feed them.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what the work turns out to be, and we would rather know that before quoting. Every engagement starts with a free diagnostic: thirty minutes on how your business actually runs, then a researched plan within 24 hours — what to build, in what order, what it would change, and what we would leave alone. The price comes out of that, sized to the value it creates, and is fixed in writing before anything is built.

Is the Opportunity Diagnostic really free?

Yes, and it is yours to keep whatever you decide — including if you take it to another firm or build it with your own team. It costs you one 30-minute call, and the written plan lands within 24 hours. We do it free because we would rather earn the work by being useful first.

Do you only advise, or do you build it as well?

We build it, and then we run it. The people who study your business are the people who write the code, so nothing is lost handing over to a delivery team you have never met. After launch we keep monitoring accuracy, catch eval regressions, migrate models when providers deprecate versions, and hold running costs under a ceiling you approved.

Start by finding out what is worth building.

Thirty minutes of your time, and a comprehensive written plan within 24 hours — costed against your own numbers and sequenced. Yours to keep.
