Question 1

What exactly does EIGHTY8 build with AI?

Accepted Answer

We build AI automations, AI agents and custom AI systems that take repetitive work off your hands — from smart workflows and data analysis to agents that handle tasks on their own. Every project is shaped around your own processes by our embedded AI engineers.

Question 2

What does an AI project cost?

Accepted Answer

AI work is bespoke, so we work on a post-calculation basis (nacalculatie): you get a clear scope and quote up front, and you pay for the actual work done. For machines that run around the clock we also offer the QBAI Cloud-PC packages — Velocity, Sovereign and Apex — at a fixed monthly price.

Question 3

How long before an AI solution goes live?

Accepted Answer

That depends on complexity and scope. Small automations are often set up quickly; larger AI systems go through more design and testing rounds. We agree a realistic timeline together before we start.

Question 4

Why an AI partner instead of building in-house?

Accepted Answer

Building your own AI team costs time, recruitment and continuous expertise. As an AI consultancy with forward deployed engineers we deliver both strategy and execution: we embed in your organisation, map your processes, build the systems and keep them running — so you can focus on your business.

Question 5

What is a forward deployed engineer (FDE), and does EIGHTY8 work that way?

Accepted Answer

A forward deployed engineer is a customer-facing engineer who builds, integrates and deploys AI solutions embedded with the client rather than from the sidelines. That is how EIGHTY8 works in practice: discovery of your processes, integration with your existing systems, deployment to production and a short feedback loop until the solution truly takes work off your hands.
