Why nearshore to Brazil for AI
Offshore AI work usually fails on the calendar, not on the code. With a team in India or Eastern Europe, every question waits a day. From Brazil, most of your working day overlaps with ours, so reviews, incidents and decisions happen in real time.
Latin America has become the default nearshore region for US companies. What we add is production focus: we do not rent you developers and walk away, we ship AI that holds on real traffic, with evaluation, guardrails and observability.
Nearshore staff augmentation, or a fixed scope
If you need hands inside your team, we embed one to three senior AI engineers who work your hours, in your tools, on a rolling roadmap, from $9,000 per engineer per month with a 3-month minimum. If you need an outcome, we run a fixed production project from $60,000 per use case. Compare the models in AI studio vs staff augmentation.
Results in production
- Movida: +40% in bookings, with a production AI agent live in the booking flow.
- Banco BMG: +30% credit conversion, with decision architecture at the credit decision point.
- Atacadão: +35% online sales, with production AI inside the purchase flow.
- Goodyear: +30% B2B satisfaction, with a redesigned B2B ordering flow.
How to evaluate a nearshore AI partner
Ask to see something running in production, not a demo. Ask who owns the code (with us, you do, from day one). Ask how they evaluate the model on real traffic, and what happens on the hard case. Our guide to choosing an AI partner lists the questions that separate the two.
Frequently asked questions
What is nearshore AI development?
It is hiring an AI engineering team in a nearby time zone instead of offshore. For US companies that usually means Latin America; our team is in Brazil, 1 to 2 hours ahead of US Eastern time.
What are nearshore AI development rates?
Our rates are fixed in USD: Discovery + POC from $18,000, production projects from $60,000 per use case, and embedded engineers from $9,000 per engineer per month with a 3-month minimum.
Can I hire AI engineers in Brazil through you?
Yes. Our embedded squad model places one to three senior AI engineers inside your team, working your hours and your tools, as nearshore staff augmentation with a production focus.
Who owns the code and the models?
You do, from day one, in your own repositories. The engagement is designed so your team can run the system without us.
