# Mellow AI — full text > Mellow AI is an independent AI engineering studio in Dallas, Texas, working remotely with clients worldwide. We design and ship production AI systems — document extraction, agents, evaluation, and the infrastructure underneath — and the client owns every piece: code, models, infrastructure, and operating knowledge. Mellow AI does not sell a platform and does not resell a license. Engagements are staffed by small senior teams that build inside the client's own environment rather than a demo sandbox, and everything built is handed over. Typical work: custom AI systems, agent and tool-use architectures, LLM deployment, document and data extraction, evaluation harnesses, model fine-tuning, AI project rescue, and production infrastructure. Built with TypeScript, Python, and Rust on Next.js, the Vercel AI SDK, pydantic-ai, Postgres, Zod, and the Model Context Protocol. Model choice is deliberately portable across providers. Based in Dallas, TX. Working worldwide. Replies within one business day. --- # About Mellow AI Mellow AI is an independent AI engineering studio in Dallas, TX. We design and ship production systems for companies with ambitious, difficult problems. Positioning: strategy, systems, and software. Small senior teams for consequential work. Clients own every piece: code, models, infrastructure, and operating knowledge, from day one. We build inside the client's environment and leave them stronger with full ownership.

Open source: OpenExtract (https://mellow-artificial-intelligence.github.io/openextract/). 02 Agentic systems: Purpose-built agents for complex legal research, review, and analysis. 03 Knowledge infrastructure: Secure, natural-language access across dense financial data. 04 Workflow automation: AI-native project tooling for high-stakes, multi-step operations. Typical engagements: custom AI solutions, agent systems, LLM deployment, model fine-tuning, AI project rescue, and production infrastructure. --- # How we work Full transparency from day one. We build inside the client's reality and ship into production. 01 Find the leverage: Map the system, pressure-test the opportunity, define the smallest valuable release. 02 Build the real thing: Senior engineers work directly with the team and ship into their environment. 03 Leave you stronger: Code, models, infrastructure, and operating knowledge are theirs from day one. Every decision builds durable capability and lasting ownership. --- # Start a conversation Bring the hard part.
