SaveIT is receipt management on autopilot. You connect your email once, and we import your receipts, extract every line item with AI, categorize it, and sync it with QuickBooks. The AI isn't a feature of the product, it is the product. If it reads a receipt wrong, everything downstream is wrong. We brought Diffco in to work on that core. Since April they've worked on our AI models, fixed security problems in the platform, and helped us build a real strategy around where AI belongs and where a conventional solution is the better call. The most important change was measurement: extraction accuracy is now a number we evaluate every change against, instead of something we judge by trying a handful of receipts. They were also honest in a way I didn't expect from an AI firm. When we assumed a problem needed a stronger model, they showed us it was in our data. That saved us time and money. They continue to support the AI side of the product, and they're easy to work with; direct, technically deep, and clear about trade-offs. "

We brought Diffco in to deliver the AI and computer vision components for one of our clients, an image generation startup. Because the work sat inside our own client relationship, we needed a partner we could trust to operate at our standard without us managing them day to day - and that is exactly what we got. Diffco owned the technical approach, built the computer vision and AI layer, and delivered the full scope in three months, on schedule. The engineering quality was high, they raised the right questions early instead of late, and they handled the confidentiality the project required without us having to chase it. After delivery they stayed on to support the system, which mattered to us as much as the build itself. When you subcontract a technical project inside your own client relationship, the risk is that the partner makes you look bad. Diffco did the opposite. They've earned our trust and we'd work with them again. "

Diffco built a complex, production-grade AI agentic system and backend for our client's fintech platform owning architecture, AI/ML components, and AI agents in a security- and compliance-sensitive environment. They delivered on time and within budget, communicated proactively, and operated like part of our own team, taking ownership and suggesting better solutions throughout. Deep AI/ML and senior backend expertise. We'd happily work with them again. "

We hired Diffco to build a complex, production AI agentic system and scalable backend for our client's fintech platform. They owned the architecture decisions, implemented the AI/ML layer and AI agents, and delivered reliable, production-ready work in a finance-grade environment with strong security and data-handling standards.The project was delivered on time and within budget. What stood out most was their deep AI/ML expertise combined with senior backend engineering — and the way the team operated like part of our own, taking ownership, communicating proactively through regular syncs and demos, and consistently delivering quality. Their speed let us move faster than we could have with internal resources alone.Highly recommend Diffco for AI and complex backend engineering. We'd happily work with them again. "

We worked with Diffco on the second version of CustomScape.ai, our AI-powered landscaping platform, and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Their team helped us refine our product vision, design the AI-driven user experience, and build a production-ready version of the application on a tight timeline and within budget.Diffco’s engineers and product team demonstrated a deep understanding of AI and our business needs, moved quickly without sacrificing quality, and communicated clearly throughout the project. The result was a stable, scalable Version 2 that received very positive feedback from our users and gave us a strong foundation for future growth.We highly recommend Diffco to anyone looking for a reliable partner for AI product strategy and custom software development "
