Binjaw // Practical AI
AI you own. Not AI you rent.
Binjaw builds AI for teams in India and Germany who'd rather own their code than rent someone else's subscription. Short projects, working code, honest tradeoffs. No slide decks, no SaaS lock-in, no multi-quarter transformation programs.
What is Binjaw?
A sole-proprietor AI studio
Binjaw is a sole-proprietor AI studio building for non-enterprise clients in India and Germany. Three focused services — two-week automation sprints, fixed-price custom AI builds, and monthly technical advisory — plus a growing catalog of practical AI tools. One editorial voice: Spark. Self-funded. No decks.
Sprint. Build. Advise.
Two-week automation sprints
Fixed scope. One workflow replaced, one runbook handed over, 30 days of support.
Custom AI builds, 4–10 weeks
RAG, domain agents, or a small AI product. Fixed price, source in your repo, architecture doc included.
Technical advisory, monthly
A working session, a written recommendation, async access, and one review per month. No decks.
From call to production
in four steps.

Handover + support
Runbook, architecture doc, and 30 days of post-deploy support included.
Tools you can
actually use.
The software we ship publicly. Each tool at tools.binjaw.co solves one specific problem — built in-house, free where we can, open about what’s live vs. what’s coming.

Notes on practical AI, delivery tradeoffs, and what we’re shipping lately. Short pieces, written in the open.
AI that ships, not AI that transforms
Small businesses don't need an 'AI transformation.' They need one workflow automated this month. Here's the difference — and why we built Binjaw around it.
ReadRAG without the hype — what actually works for small teams
Retrieval-augmented generation is the most over-pitched AI technique of the last two years. Here's what a minimal, useful RAG setup looks like for a non-enterprise team.
ReadWhy we fix the window, not the scope
Most AI engagements fail on timeline, not on specs. Fixing the delivery window forces smaller, shippable scopes — and surfaces the real constraint earlier.
ReadRAG vs fine-tuning — choosing the cheaper one
Fine-tuning is a fine tool. It's also the wrong one for almost every small-business use case. Here's the decision tree we actually run through.
ReadWhat we decline (and why)
A short list of engagements Binjaw says no to — so the scope is clear before the first call. No hidden terms, no bait-and-switch.
ReadPrivacy when you can't self-host
Most small businesses can't run their own model infrastructure — and shouldn't. Here's how we handle privacy when the model lives on someone else's GPU.
ReadTwo things we won’t compromise on.
Not testimonials — the operating principles we sign engagements against. If one of these becomes impossible mid-project, we renegotiate or refund.
“Fixed scope engagements ship in the quoted window or we don’t charge the final milestone. If we misjudged, that’s on us — not on you.”
“You keep the code. Every line we write lands in your repository, with an architecture doc and a runbook. If Binjaw disappears tomorrow, your system still runs.”
Good questions,
straight answers.

Email contact@binjaw.co- 01 Reply in 24 hrs. A short note from a person, not a form response. Monday–Friday.
- 02 Free 45-min scoping call. We ask what’s broken — you ask what we’d build. No deck, no pitch.
- 03 Written proposal in a week. Fixed scope, fixed price, a start date, and what we won’t do.
- 04 Kickoff in ~2 weeks. Working code in your repo from week one. No surprises at the end.
