Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I hire an AI developer in Cape Town CBD?

You can interview pre-vetted AI developers based in Cape Town within 24-48 hours of your initial consultation. Once you select a developer, they can start working on your project within 1-2 business days. Our streamlined process eliminates months of traditional recruitment.

What is the difference between hiring a dedicated AI developer vs. a freelancer in Cape Town?

Dedicated AI developers work exclusively for you as part of your team, typically full-time or substantial part-time hours. They integrate with your processes, attend your meetings, and focus solely on your projects. Freelancers juggle multiple clients and may have limited availability. Our dedicated developers provide consistency, accountability, and deeper project ownership.

Do I own the code and AI models developed?

Yes, 100%. All code, models, data pipelines, and intellectual property created by our developers belong entirely to you. We provide comprehensive IP assignment agreements and NDAs to protect your proprietary technology and business logic.

Can I hire developers for short-term projects in Cape Town?

Absolutely. While we offer ongoing monthly engagements, we also support project-based hiring for 1-3 month initiatives. Minimum engagement is typically 1 month to ensure quality outcomes, though we can discuss shorter sprints for specific use cases.

What if the developer isn't a good fit for my Cape Town team?

We offer a 2-week trial period with a 50% refund guarantee if you're not satisfied. Additionally, we provide free developer replacement within 48 hours if the match isn't working out. Our goal is to ensure you have the perfect AI talent for your project.

How do you vet your AI developers?

Our rigorous 5-stage vetting process includes technical assessments, coding challenges, real-world project evaluation, reference checks, and cultural fit interviews. Only the top 5% of applicants join our network. We verify hands-on experience with ML frameworks, cloud platforms, and production AI deployments.

Can the AI developer work from the Cape Town CBD office?

Yes. Our Cape Town-based developers can work remotely or from your CBD office location, depending on your preference. They work across South African business hours (SAST timezone) and are available for in-person meetings in the Cape Town area when needed.
