AI Agent Development Company
YOUR AI AGENT, live in 7 days
Alternate builds production-grade AI agents for businesses worldwide — chat agents for your website and WhatsApp, voice agents for your phone line, sales agents for your pipeline, and AI copilots for your support team. Trained on your real content, grounded so they don't make things up, and built by the senior team that builds everything else we ship.
Sceptical? Good — so are we, of most AI demos. That's why the chat bubble on our own site is one of our agents, answering real visitors right now. Judge the craft before a single call.

WHAT IS AN AI AGENT — and how is it different from a chatbot?
An AI agent is software that uses a large language model to understand a goal, decide on the steps to reach it, and take actions — looking up information, qualifying a lead, updating a CRM, booking a meeting, transferring a call. A traditional chatbot follows scripted paths: it can only answer what it was explicitly programmed to answer.
In practice: a chatbot answers questions; an agent gets things done. Modern chat agents (the kind we ship in 7 days) sit in between — grounded on your content like a knowledge base, but able to capture leads, hand off to humans and trigger actions. (Want the full primer? Read what are AI agents.)

AI AGENT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, end to end
When you hire AI agent developers through Alternate you get the full stack of AI agent development services from one senior team: scoping and conversation design, RAG pipelines over your own content, integration with your website, WhatsApp, CRM and helpdesk, guardrails and evaluation, and post-launch monitoring. We work with startups and enterprises worldwide — fully remote, across time zones — and everything ships with a fixed, itemised quote. The same practice builds our custom LLM and RAG products, so your agent isn't a plugin wrapper; it's engineered.
HOW THE 7 days ACTUALLY GO
No vague "AI transformation journey" — a schedule. This is the exact process behind every chat agent we ship (voice agents follow the same shape over 3–6 weeks).
Day 1–2
Scope & ingest
Kick-off call, then we ingest your website, documents and FAQs and design the agent's behaviour, tone and guardrails.
Day 3–4
Build & integrate
The agent is built on your content and integrated where it will live — your site, WhatsApp, or both.
Day 5
Review with you
You test it against real questions. We tune answers, fix gaps and tighten the handoff rules.
Day 6
Guardrails & polish
Edge cases, refusal behaviour, lead-capture flow and analytics — the unglamorous work that makes it production-grade.
Day 7
Go live
Launch on your channels. We watch the first conversations closely and keep improving from day one.
WHY TRUST US with your AI?
Because we use what we build. Our own site runs on our agent stack, our generative AI practice builds LLM and RAG products for clients worldwide, and our case studies name real companies. The people on your kick-off call are the people who write the code.
FREQUENTLY ASKED questions
How much does an AI agent cost?
Every project gets a fixed, itemised quote after a free scoping call — no retainers required. Most 7-day chat agents cost less than a single month of a support hire, and you only pay the agreed amount. Voice agents are in early access and scoped individually at pilot pricing.
Can you really build a chatbot in 7 days?
Yes — for chat and messaging agents the 7-day timeline is our standard delivery: we ingest your website and documents, train the agent on your real content, integrate it on your site or WhatsApp, run a review with you on day 5, and go live on day 7. Complex integrations (custom CRMs, internal tools) can add time, and we tell you exactly how much before we start.
Will the AI agent make things up?
This is the right question to ask. Our agents are retrieval-grounded (RAG): they answer from your approved content, say "I don't know" instead of guessing, and hand off to a human when a conversation goes beyond their scope. You review and approve behaviour before launch.
Does it work on WhatsApp?
Yes — chat agents can run on your website, WhatsApp Business, and other messaging channels, with the same knowledge base behind each. WhatsApp is the highest-converting channel for most Indian businesses we talk to.
What do you need from us to start?
Very little: access to your website content and any documents the agent should know (FAQs, pricing, policies), one kick-off call, and one review call on day 5. We handle everything else — design, training, integration, testing and guardrails.
What does "early access" mean for voice agents?
It means we're honest: voice and phone agents are a newer offering for us, so pilot clients get priority engineering attention and pilot pricing in exchange for being early. Voice builds take 3–6 weeks — telephony, latency and call-transfer work properly takes longer than chat, and we won't pretend otherwise.
What happens after launch?
Your agent isn't abandoned: we monitor conversations, fix gaps in its knowledge, and ship improvements. Ongoing optimisation is available as a light monthly retainer, but it's optional — the agent keeps working either way.
What's the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?
A traditional chatbot follows scripted paths and can only answer what it was explicitly programmed to answer. An AI agent uses a large language model to understand intent, answer from your real content, and take actions — capturing leads, booking calls, updating your CRM, or handing off to a human. Chatbots answer questions; agents get things done.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes — most of our AI agent work is global. We're fully remote-ready, experienced across US, European and Asian time zones, and everything from scoping calls to launch happens online. Pricing is quoted in your preferred currency.
