Start with the problem your users need to solve.
A useful AI feature starts with a specific task. What information does a user need? What action should they be able to take? What should happen when the model cannot answer confidently? These questions shape the integration before a model or interface is chosen.
The work can be a focused addition to an existing application or part of a new product build. The first phase defines the user journey, the data available, the constraints and a practical way to evaluate the result.
What I can help you build
AI assistants inside your product
Give users a conversational way to find information or complete a defined task. The assistant needs clear boundaries, appropriate access to your application and a useful fallback when it cannot finish the job.
Knowledge search and retrieval
Connect an assistant to relevant product or business information through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Source quality, access permissions and answer evaluation matter as much as the conversational interface.
AI-assisted operational workflows
Support tasks such as summarising information, preparing a draft or organising material for review. Decide which steps can be automated and which require a person to approve the output.
What a first engagement covers
- Scope: a defined task, target users and a measurable acceptance criterion.
- Integration plan: required data, APIs, permissions and the path into the existing product.
- Working implementation: the interface and backend behaviour for the agreed workflow.
- Evaluation: representative examples, failure cases and a review of response quality.
- Handover: configuration, operating considerations and the next development priorities.
Response time, model usage costs and the handling of sensitive information are part of the design discussion. Exact deliverables depend on the scope agreed before development.
Relevant product experience
The AnyJobOK AI job portal case study covers focused tools for candidates and recruiters, alongside the platform’s organic-search foundations. DevJobs.lk brings AI assistance into a broader recruitment workflow.
My portfolio also includes OneCeylon / SEREND-AI, the Sri Lankan travel experience featured in the 2026 tourism recognition section.
What to bring to the first conversation
A short description of the task, a few example inputs and the result you would consider useful. If you already have an application, tell me how it is built and where the relevant information lives. We can then decide whether a focused integration or a wider product phase makes sense.
Do you need an existing application?
No. An AI feature can be scoped into a new product. If you need the surrounding web application, accounts and workflows as well, see web and mobile product development.
Can you work with an international team?
Yes. I work remotely and agree on communication channels, meeting times and delivery milestones at the start. The first conversation is about fit and scope, not a commitment to a large build.
