Frequently asked questions

We utilize a variety of frontier models including Claude Opus 4.7 , and Gemini 3.5 Pro. The choice depends on the specific requirements of the project. For instance, we leverage Claude for complex reasoning and coding tasks, while Gemini is often preferred for massive context window requirements. Our team monitors benchmarks from platforms like LMSYS Chatbot Arena to stay updated on which models currently offer the best performance for specific programmatic tasks.

Not directly. The quote builder is a scoping tool: it captures your project brief in about 5 minutes (no price displayed). After that, we book a short call together where Oussema shares the tailored estimate based on what you submitted. This keeps the figure accurate, not a rough guess from a form.

Every project is different, so prices are personalized. The flow is simple: you fill the quote builder (about 5 minutes) to scope your needs, we get on a short call together, and I send you a tailored estimate right after. No commitment, no hidden fees.

A quote is built around three factors: the scope of the project (features and pages), the technical complexity (AI integration, automations, custom backend), and the timeline. The quote builder captures all of this upfront, then we go through it together on a short call before the final estimate is shared.

Payments are split into milestones, usually a kickoff deposit followed by payments at each major delivery. Bank transfers and most international payment methods are accepted. The full schedule is agreed before any work starts.

Yes, projects start with a deposit (typically 30 to 40 percent of the total). It secures your slot in the schedule and covers the kickoff phase. The remaining balance is paid in milestones as we progress.

No. The quote covers everything we agreed on. If anything outside that scope comes up later (new features, extra integrations), we discuss and price it separately before any work happens. No surprises.

The cost for a custom AI chatbot spans a wide range based on scope. Simple internal tools might cost around 3,000 dollars. Mid-level implementations with third party integrations often fall between 3,000 and 5,000 dollars. Enterprise solutions requiring custom LLM fine tuning, complex database connectivity, and stringent security compliance can exceed 10,000 dollars. These figures cover discovery, architecture design, development, and basic quality assurance testing.

Four steps: kickoff (we align on goals, scope, and design direction), build (iterative sprints with regular previews), review (you test, give feedback, we polish), and launch (deployment, training if needed, handover). You have visibility at every step.

A shared channel (WhatsApp, Slack, or email, your choice) is used for daily messages, plus a weekly sync of about 30 minutes to review progress and decisions. Async first, calls when needed.

Revisions are built into the process: at each sprint or milestone, you give feedback and we iterate until the deliverable matches what we agreed. No artificial cap. Large scope changes (new features, redirection) are scoped separately.

It rarely happens because you see and validate at every step (design, build, polish). If something is off, it gets identified early and adjusted. The iterative process avoids the all or nothing final reveal.

Tunisia, but I work remotely with clients across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Timezone overlap with Europe makes daily collaboration easy.

Three working languages: English, French, and Arabic (including Tunisian Darija). Project documentation, calls, and deliverables can be in any of them, or mixed if your team is multilingual.

Fully remote by default, that is how all my projects run today. On site visits remain possible in Tunisia or Europe for a kickoff or workshop, with travel costs covered by the client.

Yes, NDAs are standard, especially for AI projects, internal tools, or sensitive data. Send me yours or I can share a simple bilateral template. We sign before any sensitive info is shared.

Five main areas: web and app development (showcase sites, SaaS, mobile, dashboards), generative AI (chatbots, content generation, data analysis), automation (workflows, integrations), e-commerce and marketplaces, plus advisory work (SEO, audits, maintenance, tech consulting).

Yes. Cross platform (React Native or Flutter) is the default option because it ships faster and covers both stores. Native development stays available when a project really needs it. The right approach is discussed together during the scoping call.

Yes, AI integration is a core service. Common use cases: a chatbot trained on your data, content or document generation, search and recommendations, automation of repetitive tasks. We start with a quick audit to identify where AI brings real value, not just buzz.

Yes. You can either take a monthly retainer (covers updates, security patches, small evolutions, and priority support) or pay per intervention. We agree on what fits your usage during the launch phase.

Bugs related to what we built are fixed for free during the warranty window (typically 30 days after launch). After that, fixes are covered by the maintenance plan or billed per intervention. Either way, response is fast.

Yes. Every project includes a 30 day warranty starting from launch. Anything that does not behave as we agreed gets fixed at no cost during that window. Beyond that, maintenance plans take over.

Mainly Next.js and React on the frontend, Node and Firebase or custom backends on the server, Tailwind for styling, and tools like Genkit or OpenAI for AI features. Stack choice is always driven by what fits your project best, not by trend.

You do. Full ownership of the source code transfers to you at the end of the project (or at each milestone payment, depending on what we agree). Repositories, accounts, hosting credentials, all of it is handed over to you.

Yes. Recommended setups are Vercel, Firebase Hosting, or a custom VPS depending on the project. Hosting can be set up either under my account (with a small management fee) or under your own account with a full handover of the deployment process. Up to you.

The timeline depends entirely on the scope and complexity of your project. The precise duration is shared during our scoping call, once we have a clear picture of what you need. No empty guess upfront.

As soon as the quote is validated and the deposit received. If my schedule is busy, you are told upfront so we plan a realistic start date together. We never begin until you have full visibility on the schedule.

Yes, when my schedule allows it. Rush projects come with a tighter daily rhythm and a small rush fee on top of the standard quote. Best move: mention the deadline early so feasibility can be confirmed.
