Why most AI projects fail in production and what we do differently?

3 minutes. No pitch. The honest version of what separates AI that works in a boardroom demo from AI that runs a business every day.

 

EML Insurance
65% improvement in AI claims resolution after two previous vendors failed to deliver in production. EB Pearls built the system with human escalation points, a full audit trail, and accuracy benchmarks agreed before a single model was chosen.

Find your build type. Get a real price.

Six AI build types. Each with honest pricing, realistic timelines, and a prototype phase so you see it working before you commit to the full build.
Build type 01

AI Chatbot & Virtual Agent

Conversational AI that handles customer queries, internal helpdesk, or guided workflows, trained on your knowledge base, not generic internet data.
  • RAG-powered from your own documents and data
  • Hallucination benchmarks set before deployment
  • Human handoff logic built in as standard
  • Integrates with your CRM, ticketing, or website
Build type 02

RAG Pipeline (Knowledge Base AI)

AI that answers questions accurately from your documents, policies, contracts, or databases -  without hallucinating facts that aren't there.
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation, grounded in your data
  • Accuracy benchmarks agreed before model selection
  • Works across PDFs, databases, internal wikis, and APIs
  • Audit trail of every response for compliance
Build type 03

Agentic AI

AI that doesn't just answer — it acts. Books appointments, processes documents, triggers workflows, and completes multi-step tasks autonomously
  • Human-in-the-loop for high-stakes decisions
  • Full audit trail of every action taken
  • Integrates with your existing systems and APIs
  • Fallback and override logic built in from day one
Build type 04

GenAI Application

A full product built around generative AI - content generation, document analysis, personalisation engines, or AI-native user experiences.
  • Custom model selection based on accuracy benchmarks
  • Cost monitoring and token alerting from sprint one
  • Production architecture built for 10x your launch load
  • 100% IP transfer — no vendor lock-in
Build type 05

AI Automation Workflow

Automate the manual, repetitive work your team does every day - document processing, data extraction, classification, and cross-system handoffs.
  • Integrates into the systems you already use
  • Measurable ROI scoped before build begins
  • Error handling and exception queues built in
  • No new platform to manage, runs inside your stack
Build type 06

Custom LLM Integration

Connect the right language model to your existing product, internal tools, or data pipelines with cost controls, fallback logic, and accuracy monitoring from day one.
  • Model selection based on performance benchmarks, not defaults
  • Fine-tuning where it genuinely improves accuracy
  • Cost monitoring before your first production call
  • On-premise or Australian-hosted options available

See if your situation matches

If it does, this will be 30 minutes well spent. If it doesn't, we'll tell you honestly on the call and point you toward who can help.

Situation 01

You have a validated AI use case and need a team that builds it to work, not just demo.

You know what you want to build. You may have a proof-of-concept. What you need is a team that gets it right the first time, with accuracy benchmarks, cost monitoring, and architecture designed to scale from day one.

  • Working AI prototype in 4–8 weeks
  • Accuracy and hallucination standards agreed before build
  • Cost monitoring from day one — no infrastructure surprises
  • 12 months post-launch support as standard
Situation 02

You want to build something specific but don't know what it costs or how long it takes.

You've seen what AI can do and want an automation, or a GenAI feature built for your business, but every vendor gives you a different number, and nobody will commit to a timeline. You need clarity before you commit. 

  • Real cost range in your first 30-minute
  • Fixed scope agreed in writing before build starts
  • Prototype against your real data — see it before you pay for it
  • No "it depends" — specific answers to specific questions
Situation 03

Your AI launched. Now accuracy is drifting, costs are spiralling, or users stopped trusting.

It worked in the demo. Now something's wrong, and your current vendor doesn't have the capacity or honesty to diagnose. You need someone to identify the root cause before spending more on fixing the wrong thing. 

  • Free AI technical audit: accuracy, cost, latency, architecture
  • Honest diagnosis before any recommendation
  • Plain-English report — what's solid, what's fragile, what it costs to fix
  • Drift detection and cost monitoring implemented from day one

Can AI just build your app?

Honestly - parts of it, yes. We use AI tools on every project.

Here's what that actually means for yours.

What AI still can't do

Decide how your architecture should scale to 100K users
Make security and compliance judgements for your industry
Manage a project, a client relationship, or a missed deadline
Own the outcome when something fails after launch
Replace the engineer who designed the system and understands why

What AI does in our builds

Generates boilerplate code in minutes not days
Accelerates test coverage across the codebase
Automates documentation as the build progresses
Helps our engineers ship faster without cutting corners
Identifies bugs and edge cases during development

The honest truth

AI tools make experienced developers faster. They don't replace the judgement, architecture decisions, and accountability that determine whether your platform survives contact with real users at scale.

From first conversationto production AI.

No surprises. No mystery. Here's exactly what happens at every step — and what you'll know before committing to each one.

1
discovery icon-2

AI Discovery Session

A senior AI strategist reviews your form before the call. In 30 minutes, you'll know: whether your AI use case will work in production, what to build first, what it will realistically cost, and what the three biggest risks are. NDA signed before any detailed discussion. No pitch. No obligation.

2
design and planning icon

AI Prototype

A working prototype against your actual data,  not a mockup, not curated demo inputs. You see real AI behaviour, including edge cases and failure modes, before committing to the full build.

3
development icon-2

Scope, cost, and architecture

Technical specification, integration map, cost model, and delivery plan documented and agreed before development begins. Fixed-price per milestone. No estimates that triple later. Written approval required for any variation.

4
development and testing image

Sprint build

Two-week sprints. Working AI at the end of every cycle - not status reports. Cost monitoring from sprint one. Accuracy tracked against benchmarks throughout.

5
launch and ongoing support

We don't disappear after launch

Drift detected before your users notice. Costs are monitored before they spiral. Model retrained as your data evolves. 12 months of monitoring, improvement, and support, included as standard, not negotiated separately.

Most AI is built to demo.Ours is built to last.

After 50+ AI projects in production, the failures that surface six months after launch almost always trace back to decisions skipped in week one. Four pillars. Every EB Pearls AI project. No exceptions.

💥 You deserve a straight answer about your AI.

30 minutes. A senior AI consultant who's seen 900+ projects. You'll leave knowing exactly what your AI app will take, what it'll cost, and whether we're the right team.

No pitch. No pressure. 

Things we hear in almost every first call.

We'd rather answer them here so your Discovery Session is about your project, not about us.

Not always, but for AI projects, we strongly recommend it. A prototype against your real data tells you things a scoped proposal never can — how the model actually behaves on your edge cases, what accuracy looks like before you've spent $150K, and whether the architecture actually works.

An NDA is signed before any detailed project discussion. The Discovery Session only requires a high-level description of the problem you're trying to solve. We've handled AI projects in healthcare, finance, and government for 20 years under strict confidentiality.

We map all data flows in Week 1 before any commitment. Sensitive fields are anonymised before reaching any third-party model. Australian-hosted infrastructure and on-premise deployment available for regulated industries.

Sometimes yes, and we'll tell you in the first 30 minutes. Off-the-shelf is right for generic use cases. Custom AI is right when you need it trained on your data, integrated into your systems, and accurate enough to depend on. We won't recommend a custom build if a platform solves your problem.

We set accuracy benchmarks and hallucination thresholds before choosing a model, not after. RAG grounds responses in your real data so the model can't invent facts that aren't there. This is the single step most AI agencies skip.

The most common failures: demos on curated data, no post-launch support, vendors who disappeared. Every one is addressed in our contracts — accuracy benchmarks in writing, 12 months support as standard, prototype on your real data before you commit.
