AI — Architecture — Integration
Sentient
Core integration and launch infrastructure for an AI-native platform — the architecture and integration layer beneath smart contracts, distribution and on-chain coordination.

Architecture
& Integration
An AI proof-of-concept and a production AI system are fundamentally different things.
Engagement
Engineering & Governance
Typical Duration
4 – 8 weeks
The engineering that takes AI from “works on my laptop” to “runs in production and the team can operate it.” System design, integrations, and orchestration that makes AI work cleanly inside real software and business environments. Not just making the model call. Everything around it.
What we architect
AI Services Layer
Model routing, prompt management, response caching, rate limiting, usage tracking, cost attribution, failover. Shared infrastructure that multiple AI features can use.
Application Integration
Synchronous request-response, streaming for conversations, async for batch operations, event-driven for triggers. Pattern matched to the use case.
Data Pipelines
Document ingestion for RAG, real-time data streams, output storage, feedback pipelines. The infrastructure feeding data to AI and storing results.
Multi-Model Orchestration
Complex workflows with multiple models. Classification by one, generation by another, quality check by a third. Routing, sequencing, parallel execution, error handling.
Vector Search Infrastructure
Embedding model selection, vector database deployment (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), hybrid search, performance tuning.

Taking AI from prototype to production?
The gap between a working demo and a production system is authentication, load balancing, error recovery, cost tracking, latency monitoring, and graceful degradation. We bridge that gap.
