Welcome to Associative. We are a team of dedicated innovators, problem-solvers, and IT professionals headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India. When businesses look for “AI consulting rates,” they are often met with confusion and opaque pricing structures. At Associative, we believe in unyielding transparency.
Established in 2021 and formally registered with the Registrar of Firms (ROF), Pune, our mission is to guide businesses through the complexities of the digital landscape with honesty and a client-centric approach.
Understanding Our AI Consulting Rates and Engagement Models
At Associative, we recognize that Artificial Intelligence projects—from Generative AI to Computer Vision—are dynamic and complex. Therefore, our AI consulting rates are designed to be fair, transparent, and directly correlated to the work performed.
We do not provide fixed-bid or fixed-timeline contracts for complex software development. Instead, we operate on a model that ensures you only pay for the value you receive:
-
Time-and-Materials Basis: We operate strictly on a time-and-materials basis. This ensures that our AI consulting rates reflect the actual effort and resources dedicated to your project, eliminating the “risk buffers” often hidden in fixed-price quotes.
-
Flexible Engagement: We offer variable engagement models to suit your budget and timeline, ranging from a minimum of 3 hours to a maximum of 9 hours per day.
-
Transparent Billing: Invoices are submitted daily, weekly, or on a milestone basis, giving you full visibility into costs.
Factors Influencing AI Development Costs
When evaluating AI consulting rates, the specific technology stack and project scope play a major role. We provide comprehensive estimates based on our experience (e.g., a minimum of 1000 hours is often required for complex custom software).
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of AI technologies, which we leverage to build scalable digital realities:
1. Generative AI & LLMs
We specialize in Large Language Models (LLMs) using frameworks like LangChain, Ollama, and Keras. Whether you need custom chatbots or content generation tools, we have the specialized skills required.
2. Core AI & Machine Learning
Our team utilizes the Python ecosystem (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) and Java libraries (Deeplearning4j) to unlock the power of your data through intelligent systems.
3. Computer Vision & R&D
We offer advanced capabilities in image recognition using OpenCV. Furthermore, our flagship R&D project, NexusReal, demonstrates our ability to bridge digital intelligence and physical reality. We work with Interactive AI Avatars, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), and Gaussian Splatting for advanced visualization.
