Applied AI

When you need something custom,
we embed.

Helix Applied AI is a senior engineering and editorial team that embeds with yours, ships working code in weeks, and hands it back to you to run. Not a prototype shop, not a consultancy — your engineers, on loan.

Engagements

A menu, not a statement of work.

We do six things, mostly. Pick one, brief us, and we’ll ship.
Custom data pipelines
4–6 wks

Ingest, parse, and deliver — built to your taxonomy, your sources, and your downstream stack.

Editorial agent design
2–4 wks

Agents tuned to your beat, your style guide, and your editorial standards — not a generic chat wrapper.

Voice clone & dubbing
6–8 wks

Studio-grade voice cloning with consent flows, watermarking, and editor review built in.

Ad-targeting models
3–5 wks

First-party cohort models trained on your content and shipped into the ad stack you already run.

Newsroom workflow audit
2 wks

A two-week deep dive into your pipeline. Where AI helps, where it does not, with a concrete plan.

Knowledge graph buildout
8–12 wks

A brand-aligned knowledge graph of your archive, your people, and your beats — query-ready.

How we work

Brief, scope, embed, ship.

No discovery decks, no six-month roadmaps. A working prototype in week one, production-shipped by the end.
  1. 01BriefA 45-minute call. We learn what you’re shipping, why, and what the constraints are.
  2. 02ScopeA short doc back to you within days — deliverables, timing, and team. Fixed-price or T&M.
  3. 03EmbedA senior engineer and a producer embed with your team for the duration. Daily standups, your tooling.
  4. 04ShipWorking code in your repo, production-shipped, with a runbook and a knowledge-transfer session.
What you get

Working code, not a slide deck.

Every engagement ends with code in your repo, in production, with your team able to maintain it.
Code in your repo

You own everything we write. No black boxes, no licensing strings, no proprietary middleware to rip out.

Production-shipped

Not a prototype. Live in your stack at the end of the engagement, with monitoring and a runbook.

Knowledge transfer

Your team is brought along throughout. Pair sessions, documentation, and an explicit handoff.

In the field

Built for the teams that need it shipped.

One team, every shape of media engineering.
For newsrooms
Custom editorial workflows

Beat-tuned agents, workflow audits, and bespoke data pipelines for newsrooms that have outgrown off-the-shelf tools.

For broadcasters
Voice and production pipelines

Consented voice cloning, dubbing workflows, and live-production tooling for radio, podcasts, and broadcast.

For publishers
Graphs, cohorts, and custom feeds

Knowledge graphs of your archive, first-party ad-targeting cohorts, and feeds shaped to your taxonomy.

what you’re building.
