Frequently asked questions
How much does custom AI development cost?
Costs depend on complexity and scope. A proof of concept typically starts at €15,000–€25,000 (£12,500–£21,000). A production AI system ranges from €50,000–€200,000+. Our most common engagement is a dedicated managed AI engineer at €5,000–€6,000/month, which includes project management and architecture support.
How long does an AI project take?
A proof of concept takes 4–8 weeks. An MVP with production deployment typically takes 3–6 months. We work in 2 week sprint cycles with visible progress at every stage.
Do I need my own data to start an AI project?
Not necessarily. We can help you assess what data you have, identify gaps, build data collection pipelines, and work with smaller datasets using techniques like transfer learning and few shot learning. We also implement RAG systems that work with your existing documents and knowledge bases.
What's the difference between managed AI engineering and staff augmentation?
Staff augmentation gives you a contractor who follows your instructions. Managed AI engineering gives you a senior engineer backed by architecture, project management, MLOps, and quality assurance. We take ownership of delivery outcomes, not just hours worked.
Can you integrate AI into our existing systems?
Yes. We specialise in integrating AI capabilities into existing enterprise applications ERP, CRM, internal tools, websites, and mobile apps via APIs, microservices, and platform connectors without disrupting your current workflows.
Are you GDPR compliant?
HST is headquartered in Ireland (EU member state) with EU data residency. We hold ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 22301 (business continuity) certifications. All projects comply with GDPR by default. For financial services clients, we build solutions aligned with EU DORA regulation and UK FCA operational resilience requirements.
How quickly can you start?
We typically onboard a dedicated engineer within 7–10 business days of engagement confirmation, including alignment workshops, scoping, and initial setup.
Do you work with startups or only large companies?
We work with businesses of all sizes from funded startups building their first AI powered product to established companies with 500+ employees adding AI capabilities. Our flexible engagement models scale to match your needs and budget.
What industries do you have experience in?
We’ve delivered AI projects across financial services, insurance, healthcare, life sciences, technology, retail, and professional services. Our ISO certifications and compliance experience make us particularly well suited for regulated industries across Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
Where is your team based?
HST is headquartered in Ireland with a globally distributed engineering team. Project management, architecture oversight, and technical account management are Ireland-based. We operate across Irish, UK, and European timezones and serve clients in Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and across the continent.
Can UK companies work with you post-Brexit?
Absolutely. We have established commercial relationships with UK clients. We invoice in GBP or EUR, our team operates in overlapping timezones (GMT/BST), and we’re experienced with the UK’s post-Brexit data adequacy framework. Many of our financial services and insurance clients operate across both UK and EU jurisdictions.
