Questions,
answered.

Everything clients ask before kicking off — process, pricing, data, and the way we ship.

Q_01

What does Zavia-AI actually do?

+
We're an independent AI engineering studio. We design, build, and operate production AI systems, agents, RAG, and automation, for enterprises in telecom, tourism, education, fleet management, procurement, and operations. Every project on our portfolio is a system we've actually shipped.
Q_02

How do engagements typically start?

+
We start with a short discovery call to understand the problem. Then we scope a working prototype, usually 1–2 weeks, built against your real workflow. Once it proves out, we move to production deployment and ongoing operation.
Q_03

How long until we see something working?

+
Most prototypes are usable within the first 1–2 weeks. Production rollout depends on integrations and data, but most clients see a deployed system live within the first month.
Q_04

How much does it cost?

+
Pricing is per engagement and depends on scope, integrations, and operational support. Share your problem on the Contact page and we'll come back with a scoped proposal, including a fixed-price prototype option where possible.
Q_05

Where are you based and who do you work with?

+
We're headquartered in Muscat, Oman, and work with enterprises across the GCC and South Asia. Our team operates remotely and on-site as needed.
Q_06

Which AI models and providers do you use?

+
We're model-agnostic. We use OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and open / local models depending on the workload, sensitivity, latency, cost, and accuracy all factor in. For sensitive data we deploy local LLMs on-prem.
Q_07

Do you build with RAG, agents, or fine-tuning?

+
All three when they fit. Most enterprise problems are best solved with retrieval (RAG) layered with orchestration agents and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. We only fine-tune when retrieval and prompting genuinely aren't enough.
Q_08

What happens to our data?

+
Your data stays yours. We deploy into your infrastructure where possible (Cloudflare, your cloud, on-prem). For sensitive workflows we use local LLMs so nothing leaves your environment. We never train models on client data.
Q_09

Do you only do AI, or full software too?

+
We deliver the full system around the AI, frontend, backend, integrations, dashboards, and workflows. AI is rarely useful in isolation; we ship the product, not just the model.
Q_10

Can you take over an existing project?

+
Often, yes. We've inherited half-built RAG systems, internal tools, and automation pipelines. Send us what you have via the Contact page and we'll tell you honestly whether we can pick it up.
Q_11

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

+
Yes. AI systems drift, models change, data changes, edge cases surface. Most clients keep us on a lightweight operate-and-iterate retainer once the system is live.
Q_12

How is Zyra (this assistant) built?

+
Zyra is a hybrid retrieval system: a curated knowledge base of Zavia-AI content is scored against your question, the top chunks are passed to an LLM with strict guardrails, and answers cite the source pages. It's a small example of the same patterns we deploy for clients.
