LEELA — LLM alchemy labs

AI, grounded
in your world.

We build AI products and the systems behind them. From models and data to the experience people use every day.

A little picture of how we like to work.

Good ideas deserve
good engineering.

AI becomes useful when it fits the work around it. We connect models, data and product design to build systems people can depend on.

AI & LLM engineering

Give a model the right context, tools and boundaries. We work on model selection, fine-tuning, retrieval, structured extraction and evaluation against the tasks that matter to you.

  • Model adaptation
  • Evaluation
  • Agent workflows

Product design & development

Turn an early idea into something people can actually use. We design and build web and mobile experiences, with the operational tools that support them.

  • Web & mobile
  • Multimodal experiences
  • Internal tools

Data & cloud infrastructure

Build the foundations for the long run. We connect data pipelines, background jobs and cloud services, with attention to observability, maintainability and running costs.

  • Data pipelines
  • Cloud deployment
  • Background processing

Built around
real-world work.

Our experience spans consumer products and complex operational platforms. The details change. The care stays the same.

The systems
behind the work.

We choose technology around the problem, your team and the environment it needs to run in. These are tools we build with.

Cloud infrastructure

Microsoft Azure · Container Apps · Blob Storage

Containerised applications, background services and managed file storage.

Models & intelligence

Azure OpenAI · Claude · Gemini · Ollama

Model integration, structured extraction, provider routing and self-hosted inference options.

Data & orchestration

PostgreSQL · Redis · Neo4j · BullMQ · Graphile Worker

Application data, caching, relationship graphs and reliable background processing.

Web & mobile

Next.js · React · TypeScript · Capacitor

Customer-facing products and the tools behind them, across web and mobile.

Think together.
Build with care.

A clear path from an open question to a working system. We can help shape the whole product or join your team on a specific challenge.

  1. 1

    Understand the work

    Start with the people, the data and the constraints. Agree on what a useful outcome looks like.

  2. 2

    Test the important idea

    Build a focused prototype. Evaluate the behaviour with real examples before expanding the scope.

  3. 3

    Make it ready to use

    Develop, integrate and deploy. Make the system understandable for the people who will run it.
