AI engineering for real business outcomes
Slides do not launch products. Design, engineering, and launch need to sit with the same team on the same schedule.
We bring product thinking and engineering together, so structure, UI, APIs, and the launch checklist live in one plan.
If that sounds like your situation, Arcode is set up for businesses searching for an AI agency. Agents, RAG, MCP, and LLM features delivered as working systems rather than slide decks.
What you get
- AI strategy to implementation
- Agent and MCP builds
- Knowledge systems
- Automation that sticks
- One studio accountable for the result
- Design and engineering on the same schedule
- Support available after launch
How engagement works
As your AI agency, we run a shared backlog, design reviews, and engineering sprints, and you keep one point of contact throughout.
- 01
Discover
Goals, constraints, data sources, and success metrics, all settled before we touch architecture or prompts. The work for teams in Miami stays tied to the outcome you asked for.
- 02
Design
System design, AI/tool boundaries, interface direction, and interaction prototypes. You see progress on the critical path every week.
- 03
Build
Modern stack, clean architecture, evaluated AI behavior, and iterative demos you can react to. Nothing here waits on a handover between separate teams.
- 04
Launch
Ship, monitor, harden, and keep improving models, tools, and product after go-live. On AI development projects we favour practical architecture over trendy defaults.
How we build it, and why
The stack is chosen per project, not applied from a template. For AI agency work these are the defaults, and the reason each one is on the list.
- OpenAI
- a second model provider, so a single vendor's outage or price change is not your problem
- Claude
- long-context reasoning and reliable tool calling for agent work
- MCP
- the Model Context Protocol, so your tools plug into Claude, Cursor, and other agent clients without a custom adapter for each
- RAG
- retrieval over your own documents, so answers cite your data instead of the model's training set
- Next.js
- server rendering and static generation in one framework, so marketing pages stay fast and app routes stay dynamic
What the first weeks look like
- Week 1
Scope and architecture
Users, data, integrations, and constraints, ending in a written plan for the AI development that you approve before anyone opens an editor.
- Weeks 2-3
Design the critical path
The screens that carry the product, prototyped and clickable. Design and engineering review together, so nothing gets drawn that cannot ship.
- Weeks 4-8
Build in weekly slices
Every week ends with something on a real URL. ai strategy to implementation lands early, because the rest of the plan depends on it working.
- Launch
Ship, measure, hand over
Release, monitoring, analytics, and a documented handover, so your team can carry it without calling us.
Weighing up your options
There are three realistic ways to get this built. Each is the right answer for someone.
A solo freelancer
Cheapest per hour and fine for a contained task. The risk on AI development is breadth — one person covering design, backend, infrastructure, and launch usually means one of them is weak, and there is no cover when they are unavailable.
A local agency in Miami
Same timezone and a face to meet, which genuinely matters for some teams. You are also paying Miami market for modern websites, apps, and AI features. rates for the whole team including the layers that never touch your AI development, and a local shortlist is a small shortlist.
Arcode
A small senior team. The people who scope the AI development write the code, you get weekly demos instead of status decks, and the engagement ends when the thing is live and handed over.

Working with teams in Miami
Miami market for modern websites, apps, and AI features. We work with clients in Miami remotely and keep overlapping hours in EST/EDT. We usually collaborate in English/Spanish.
How we work with Miami teams
Miami is on ET, so our afternoon covers your morning: one scheduled call window a day plus written updates covers most engagements comfortably.
What Miami clients usually need
Miami work is noticeably weighted towards healthcare and clinic software, plus Latin-America-facing commerce that has to work in both English and Spanish.
Contracts, data, and compliance
Healthcare projects here mean HIPAA from day one: audit logging, access control, encryption at rest, and a signed BAA where we touch protected health information. We scope that into the build, not after it.
