specific fit
Most AI startups burn the same way: a brilliant prototype, a six-month effort to "make it production," and an OpenAI bill that grows faster than revenue. Sage Ideas builds AI-native systems the way they should be built — RAG pipelines with measurable evals, prompt versioning under source control, LLM cost tracking per request, and the boring infrastructure that turns a demo into a real product.
The single-user prototype hits 50 RPS and falls apart — rate limits, hot keys, streaming connections that pile up, and timeouts that take the whole worker pool down. We harden the request lifecycle: queues, backoff, circuit breakers, and the model-routing layer that keeps latency budgets intact.
Up to 8 pages, fully responsive, dark + light mode if requested CMS-backed content (Sanity or Contentful) Analytics + sitemap + robots + structured data Vercel production deploy + DNS + SSL handoff
This route does not pretend the engagement includes logo / brand identity design (byo or add-on, or pair with brand sprint), long-form copywriting (we provide structure + edits), custom illustrations or video.
route to revenue
Each page is unique to the service and industry pair, but the conversion path stays simple: qualify the problem, inspect proof, then book the right first move.

The buyer is looking for ship in a AI Startups context.
02
LLM orchestration in production: tool-use, function-calling, structured output, multi-step agents, and the streaming UX that does not fall apart on retries — across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and open-weight models.
