      Andrew Stetsenko Founder at GlossaryTech, backed by Dice

      Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko

      We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis. The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services". It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.

      Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova

      Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two. I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery. We successfully brought 2 major products to life together. Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes. It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.

      ТОВ ХОТНАЙТС's Review Sourced from Google

      Flyaps delivered outstanding results for our e-commerce store! They built a visually stunning and high-performing website that perfectly captures our brand. Since launching, our site speed has improved by over 60%, and we've seen a noticeable increase in our conversion rate. Their team's technical expertise is top-notch, and the new admin panel they created has made managing our operations so much easier. I am happy to recommend this team of professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Development Agencies

What is the total cost of AI development?

The total cost of AI development ranges from $50,000 to over $1 million, depending on whether you are buying an off-the-shelf artificial intelligence solution or hiring a custom AI development company. 

Typical ranges are: 

Project ScopeTypical AI Use CasesCost Range (USD)Expected Timeline
Pilot or Proof of Concept Simple chatbots, internal assistants, early prototypes $15,000–$40,000+1–2 months
MVP or Mid-Level Build Automation tools, analytics systems, small GenAI solutions $50,000–$150,000+2–4 months
Advanced Custom AINLP pipelines, computer vision, multi-agent workflows$150,000–$500,000+4–6 months
Enterprise-Scale AIPlatform-level AI, regulated systems, high-volume GenAI$200,000–$1,000,000+6–12+ months

Usual cost drivers include: 

  • AI model complexity: 30% to 40% 
  • Data collection and preparation: 15% to 25% 
  • Infrastructure and tech stack: 15% to 20% 
  • Tools choice (open-source vs proprietary): 5% to 15% 
  • Long timelines and extended engagement: 5% to 10% 
  • Regulatory and compliance work: 5% to 10% 
  • Testing, validation, maintenance: 10% to 15% 

What is the timeline from signing the contract to the first live use case?

The timeline from contract signing to the first live AI use case typically ranges from 2 to 18+ months, depending on project scope and complexity. Most AI development companies deliver value in phases, starting with a live pilot before expanding. 

AI development timeline from contract to first live use case: 

Project TypeTypical Use CaseTime to First Live Use Case
Proof of Concept (PoC) or MVPSimple chatbot, internal assistant, RAG prototype4–8 weeks
Mid-sized custom AI solution Invoice automation, CRM agent, analytics tools4–6 months
Enterprise AI platformMulti-agent systems, regulated workflows, supply chain AI9–18+ months

The first live use case is usually a limited but real deployment, not a full rollout. 

Top AI software development companies start with a PoC or MVP to validate data, workflows, and adoption. Enterprise AI takes longer due to security, compliance, integration, and operational readiness.

What is the typical ROI for AI solutions?

Across enterprise and B2B use cases, studies consistently show an average return of about 3.5× for every $1 invested, with top performers reaching up to 8× returns.  

Most organizations see meaningful ROI within 12-18 months, and many deploy their first production AI use case within 6-12 months, which is when returns usually begin.

What is the difference between Generative AI and non-GenAI?

Generative AI (GenAI) uses the patterns it has learned to create something entirely new that didn't exist before. In contrast, non-gen AI is designed to analyze, classify, and predict based on existing data.

  • Use GenAI when you need innovation and synthesis. If you need to brainstorm marketing copy, summarize a 50-page transcript, or generate a prototype logo, you want the "creator."  
  • Use Non-GenAI when you need accuracy and consistency. If you are predicting stock prices, diagnosing a disease from an X-ray, or calculating the fastest route home, you want the "judge" who focuses on facts and patterns. 

Take a look at their main differences: 

AreaGenerative AI (GenAI)Non-GenAI (Traditional/Discriminative)
Core functionGenerates new contentAnalyzes or predicts from existing data
Typical outputText, images, audio, video, code, or summariesA label, a number, or a probability
FlexibilityHighMedium to low
PredictabilityLowerHigher
Risk profileHallucinations, data leakageModel bias, data quality
Best use casesAssistants, copilots, content, exploration Fraud detection, forecasting, optimization
Governance needsHighModerate

What are the most requested AI development services at the moment?

Currently, the most requested AI development services are LLM integration with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), along with AI agent development.

According to Diffco, the demand for traditional machine learning models is declining, largely because businesses seek complete systems rather than standalone models.

The table below compares client demand across services, by share of engagements:

Service Share of total demand
LLM/chatbot integration 20%
AI agent development 20%
Custom model fine-tuning 15%
RAG pipelines 15%
Computer vision 10%
Predictive analytics/ML models10%
Ongoing model maintenance and monitoring10%
