FAQs

AI software development questions, answered

Why choose Fulminous Software for AI software development?+

We deliver tailored, production-ready AI systems backed by real engineering experience and ongoing support β€” built to UK compliance standards, with your data hosted in the UK and full IP ownership handed to you.

How much does AI software development cost in the UK?+

Indicatively, an AI pilot starts from Β£15,000 + VAT, a production custom build from Β£45,000 + VAT, and enterprise platforms from Β£120,000 + VAT. Actual cost depends on scope, data readiness and integrations. See our detailed cost guide for a breakdown.

How long does an AI project take?+

Timelines vary with complexity β€” typically 4–6 weeks for a pilot and 8–16 weeks for a production-ready custom build.

Can you integrate AI into our existing systems?+

Yes. We specialise in integrating models and AI features into existing CRM, ERP and line-of-business platforms with minimal disruption and clear documentation.

Is our data kept in the UK?+

Where you need it to be, yes. We can host and process data in AWS London (eu-west-2), Azure UK South or GCP europe-west, keeping it within UK/EU jurisdiction.

Are your solutions UK GDPR compliant?+

We design to UK GDPR and ICO guidance from the architecture stage, and account for sector-specific rules such as FCA requirements and the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit where relevant.

Who owns the AI system and source code?+

You do. On completion, the intellectual property and source code are transferred to you β€” you are never locked into a licence.

Could our project qualify for R&D tax relief?+

Bespoke AI development often meets HMRC's criteria for UK R&D Tax Credits (up to 27% for R&D-intensive SMEs). We can flag qualifying activity, though you should confirm eligibility with your accountant.

What's the difference between generative AI and agentic AI?+

Generative AI creates content (text, images, code); agentic AI autonomously plans and executes multi-step tasks. We build both β€” see our generative AI and agentic AI service pages.

Do you build machine learning models from scratch?+

Yes. We design and train custom, explainable models on your own data for tasks such as forecasting, classification and recommendation.

Which industries do you work with?+

Healthcare, finance, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, education and logistics, among others β€” with attention to each sector's compliance requirements.

Can you make our AI accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA)?+

Yes. Any user-facing interface we build is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.

Do you provide support after launch?+

We do β€” including monitoring, model retraining, updates and optimisation, available under fixed or SLA-backed arrangements.

How do we get started?+

Book a free consultation. We'll review your goals and data, identify the highest-value opportunity, and give you a clear roadmap with transparent GBP pricing β€” with no obligation.
