AI Research & Development

Our innovation lab explores emerging AI techniques through focused R&D and prototypes, helping you test what is possible before committing to a full build.

Emerging TechnologiesAI Research & Development

AI research and development is structured exploration of new AI techniques - large language models, agents, computer vision, speech - to find out what is technically possible for a specific problem before investing in a full product. Affix Center's innovation lab runs time-boxed R&D sprints with clear success criteria and honest findings.

The challenge

Problems we solve

  • Uncertainty whether AI can solve a specific problem
  • Fast-moving AI landscape with no time to evaluate options
  • Ideas that need experimentation before a business case
  • Vendors promising more than the technology can deliver

Our capabilities

What we deliver

Feasibility Research

Know what is possible before committing.

  • Literature and technology review
  • Model and vendor comparison
  • Data requirement analysis
  • Risk assessment

Experiments & Benchmarks

Evidence, not opinions.

  • Rapid model experiments
  • Evaluation datasets
  • Accuracy, cost and latency benchmarks
  • Comparison reports

AI Proofs of Concept

Working demonstrations on your data.

  • LLM and agent prototypes
  • Computer vision prototypes
  • Speech and language prototypes
  • Stakeholder demos

Path to Production

From research to roadmap.

  • Architecture recommendations
  • Build vs buy guidance
  • Responsible AI review
  • Production roadmap and estimate

Frequently asked questions

What is AI research and development?

It is structured, time-boxed exploration and experimentation with AI techniques to establish what is technically feasible for a problem before building a product.

What do we get at the end?

A working proof of concept, benchmark results and a clear recommendation on whether and how to proceed.

Do you share negative results?

Yes. Learning that an approach will not work is a valuable outcome that saves the cost of a failed build.

How long does an R&D sprint take?

Typically a few weeks, agreed up front with clear success criteria.

Where is Affix Center based, and where do you deliver?

Our office is in Lower Parel, Mumbai (Mathurdas Mill Compound, A-101, 1st Floor, Todi Building, Mumbai 400013). We deliver for clients across India, on-site where it matters and remotely otherwise.
