Shipping AI products that enterprise buyers will let near their data, on a budget that has to last.
AI technology companies.Software vendors and AI-native businesses whose product is the model, the agent or the platform, and whose customers’ security, compliance and procurement teams decide whether it gets bought.
Problems we solve here
The ones we hear most often from this sector. Each opens the page with the detail and the case studies.
EU AI Act obligations, for providers and for the businesses deploying you
Classification of what you ship, the technical documentation, risk management, logging and human oversight the Act asks of providers, and the evidence your enterprise customers will ask for as deployers. Built into the product rather than written up afterwards.
Inference and infrastructure costs that outrun revenue
Cost measured per customer, per feature and per model call, and an architecture that costs almost nothing when idle. Usage-priced services, reserved capacity where the load is predictable, and the routing that sends each request to the cheapest model that meets the bar.
Greenfield and brownfield AI builds
A new product from a blank page, or AI added beside a system that already has customers, data and a codebase only the original team can change. The same cadence either way: a working demonstration every fortnight, and a stabilisation phase first when the system is already live.
Monitoring, tracing and auditing AI systems
Traces on every model call, an immutable audit log of what was decided and with whose data, cost and latency per tenant, and alerts routed to an engineer rather than a mailbox. The answers an enterprise buyer wants before they sign, produced by the system rather than by hand.
Evaluations and safety before it goes into production
An evaluation set built from your real cases before the first release, then accuracy, regression, prompt injection and data exfiltration tests run on every release after it, so the evidence exists when a buyer asks for it.
Training and fine-tuning open-weight models on your own data
For when a general model is too expensive per call, too slow, or cannot be allowed to see your data. Fine-tuned open-weight models served privately in the EU on Hexploits Cloud LLM, with no training on inputs and no logs, and an evaluation set that proves the fine-tuned model beats the general one before it goes live.

Verified reviews, linked to Google where they were left there.
Director, IO Solutions
“Fantastic to work with. High level of attention to detail and flawless communication throughout. Would recommend to anyone looking to develop or improve a software product.”

Director, JobVantage
“Working with Hexploits has genuinely been a pleasure, and I see them as my scaling partner for the foreseeable future as JobVantage grows. If you’re looking for a development team who combine strong AI/engineering capability with honesty, flexibility and a real interest in your business, I’d strongly recommend them.”

Director, PeppaSync
“Hexploits have been a breath of fresh air on Peppasync, an AI/ML autonomous decision platform for commercial leaders in retail and ecommerce. The depth and thoroughness the team brought to design and architecture was second to none.”

Insights for this sector
AI Sovereignty: What It Costs to Teach an AI Your Business
AI agents can triage support tickets, write your documentation, and answer questions from your own records - but only if you feed them your data. Here is what that trade actually costs, and how AI sovereignty lets you get the value without giving up control.
ACP: The Commerce Layer for AI Agents
Customers now buy inside AI conversations. The Agentic Commerce Protocol from Stripe and OpenAI lets an AI agent run your checkout while you stay merchant of record. What it costs to adopt, who is already selling through it, and what a retailer should do now.
AP2: The Trust Layer for Agent Transactions
When an AI agent spends money on your behalf, how do you prove you authorised it? Google’s Agent Payments Protocol gives every agent transaction a signed record of intent. What it means for businesses that sell, buy or underwrite, and what to do now.
x402: The Settlement Layer for Autonomous Agents
x402 lets an AI agent pay for a web resource inside a single request, settled in seconds for a fraction of a penny. What it does to the economics of anything priced per request, its limitations stated plainly, and why for most UK businesses it is a watch item rather than a project.
