Talk it through

How it works

From call to working prototype in days.

No discovery phase. No hourly billing.

  1. 01

    Free discovery call

    30 minutes on your goals, data and constraints. You leave with honest advice, even if that's “don't use AI for this”.

  2. 02

    Written plan & quote

    A short proposal with the outcome we'll deliver, the timeline, and one price for that outcome. We never bill by the hour.

  3. 03

    Working prototype in days

    Not weeks of slides and specs. Within days you are clicking through a real version on your own data, before you commit to the full build.

  4. 04

    Launch & improve

    We harden, deploy and monitor it, then keep improving based on real usage, or hand it over to your team.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does Deskmonte do?

Deskmonte is a senior, founder-led AI engineering studio. We ship AI-powered products, automate manual work, build live dashboards and connect your tools, with a first working version in days, not weeks.

Who is Deskmonte a good fit for?

Startups and scale-ups that want to ship AI without a six-month hiring loop, and teams inside larger companies that need to move like a startup.

Can you ship our AI MVP before our next raise?

That is exactly what a prototype sprint is for. You get a working version on your real data within days, ready to demo to investors, and we harden it for launch after. No hiring, no added headcount, and you own all the code.

Why is a team of 2 engineers with AI better than 10 senior engineers?

Coordination. Ten people have 45 lines of communication to keep in sync; two have one. Claude and OpenAI now draft the boilerplate, tests and docs that used to need extra hands, so two senior engineers spend their time on the decisions that matter. You get faster shipping, fewer meetings, and you talk directly to the people writing the code.

How can a startup hire AI engineers fast?

Skip the months-long hiring loop. With Deskmonte, senior engineers start this week, work inside your tools and put a working version in your hands within days. You keep all the code, so you can hire in-house later and hand it over cleanly.

Is Deskmonte an AI agency or a dev shop?

Neither in the usual sense. Deskmonte is a founder-led AI engineering studio: you work directly with senior engineers, not account managers, and pay for outcomes instead of hours.

What kinds of AI projects does Deskmonte build?

AI-powered products and internal apps (for example a customer portal that answers from your docs or an instant quote calculator), workflow automation (invoices, lead routing, onboarding), live dashboards for sales, operations and finance, and integrations that keep payments, CRM and product data in sync.

How fast can you deliver?

Fast. Most ideas reach a working prototype on your real data within days, not weeks. Senior engineers, proven building blocks and no hand-offs mean we skip the long discovery phase and show you something real early.

We only have an idea. Is that too early?

No. Most projects start that way. On the first call we help you find the one use case worth building first and tell you honestly if AI is the right tool for it.

How much does a project cost?

We price by outcome, never by the hour. After the discovery call we agree on the result we'll deliver and its price up front. Starting with a prototype sprint keeps the first commitment small.

Who owns the code and the data?

You do. Everything we build lives in your repositories and your cloud accounts from day one. No lock-in, no proprietary platform.

How do you keep our data safe with AI models?

We pick providers and settings that don't train on your data, keep secrets out of code, and can run on your own cloud or with private models when the data is sensitive.

Can you work with our existing team and tools?

Yes. We plug into your stack, repos and communication tools, and leave your team with documentation so they can own it after launch.

Do you work with US teams?

Yes. We are based in Denver, USA and Gurugram, India and work with clients worldwide, with real overlap for US, European and APAC hours.
