FAQ

Questions, answered

Build or advice, timelines, who owns the code, and what working with us looks like. What owners ask before they book a call.

Do you just advise, or actually build it?
We build it. BuildPulse is AI consulting for small businesses, and you get a working system at the end. That might be an assistant that answers after-hours calls and books them, or quotes that go out the same afternoon. If it isn't live and saving you time, we aren't finished.
How fast can we get something in production?
A Build Sprint puts one AI use case into production in four to six weeks. We scope tightly on purpose: one real outcome, shipped, beats a broad roadmap that never leaves the prototype.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do. The code, the models and the documentation are all yours. We transfer skills to your team as we go so nothing depends on us staying.
What does working with you look like?
You book a call and talk to Thilo, the founder. Together you pick the one job that eats most of your week. We build the AI for it on the inbox and calendar you already use, plan for it to go live within a few weeks, and show your people how to run it before we hand it over.
What if our AI project already stalled?
That is what Project Rescue is for. It starts with a diagnosis that shows why the project stalled and which parts are worth keeping. Then we salvage what works, rebuild what doesn't, and put it live on one workflow. If the honest answer is to stop, we say so and charge no fee.
Do we need our own data scientists or AI team?
No. We bring the technical depth. If you have a team, we make them faster and hand off cleanly; if you don't, we build it and leave you with something your existing people can run.
