Question 1

What is an embedded AI team?

Accepted Answer

An embedded AI team integrates directly with your existing engineers, designers, and product managers. Unlike traditional consultants who deliver reports, an embedded AI team works inside your workflows to build, ship, and maintain production AI systems alongside your people.

Question 2

How much does it cost to outsource AI development?

Accepted Answer

AI development costs vary by scope, but a fractional AI team like Trevyse offers enterprise-grade output at startup-friendly pricing. We price by outcomes, not billable hours — so you pay for results like working prototypes and production systems, not for time spent in meetings.

Question 3

What is a fractional AI team?

Accepted Answer

A fractional AI team gives you access to senior AI strategists, engineers, and architects on a flexible basis — without the cost of hiring a full-time team. You get dedicated experts who embed with your team for the duration of your project.

Question 4

Should I build an in-house AI team or hire an external one?

Accepted Answer

Hiring an in-house AI team takes 6-12 months and costs $500K+ per year in salaries alone. An external embedded AI team lets you start shipping production AI in weeks, validate ideas quickly, and scale up or down based on actual needs. Many companies start with an external team and hire in-house later.

Question 5

What services does an AI team as a service provide?

Accepted Answer

An AI-team-as-a-service typically provides AI strategy consulting, rapid prototyping, full-stack AI development, LLM integrations, automation pipeline engineering, and ongoing iteration. Trevyse covers all of these, from identifying where AI creates leverage to building and maintaining production systems.

Question 6

How long does it take to build an AI product with an external team?

Accepted Answer

With a focused embedded AI team, working prototypes can be delivered in 2-4 weeks. Production-ready systems typically take 2-4 months depending on complexity. Because we embed with your team, there is no lengthy handoff or onboarding — we hit the ground running.
