Next.js & React Development with AI Features
Custom sites and web apps on Next.js and React, with AI features built in where they genuinely help: on-site search that understands intent, chat, recommendations, and content tools for your team.

Bolting AI on later is expensive
Adding real AI features to a site after it is built often means reworking the data model, auth, and rendering choices that were made without those features in mind. When AI search, chat, or personalisation is part of the plan from the start, the architecture supports it cleanly instead of fighting it. It also means being honest about which AI features are worth building and which are just noise.
What we build
- A Next.js and React build with server rendering and clean routing
- AI-powered site search that matches meaning, not just keywords
- In-page chat or assistant features connected to your real content, where they fit
- Recommendation and personalisation blocks driven by your own data
- Content generation and drafting tools for your editors, inside the CMS
- API and backend work to support all of it, with sensible caching and rate limits
How the build runs
- 1
Scope the features
1–2 daysWe separate the AI features that add value from the ones that just sound good, and size each one.
- 2
Architecture
2–3 daysData model, rendering strategy, and integration points chosen with those features in mind.
- 3
Core build
1–2 weeksThe site and its pages, built as reusable components with server rendering.
- 4
AI features
1–2 weeksSearch, chat, recommendations, or editor tools wired in and tested against real content.
- 5
Harden and ship
2–3 daysCaching, rate limiting, error states, and monitoring before launch.
How we deliver
- 1
Discovery & Scoping
1-3 daysWe start by understanding the actual problem and your existing systems, not just the brief.
- 2
Architecture & Plan
2-4 daysWe map the technical approach and integration points before any code gets written.
- 3
Build
1-8 weeks, scoped to your projectAI-augmented development that moves fast without skipping review.
- 4
Test & Launch
2-3 daysReal testing against real scenarios before it touches a live user.
- 5
Tune & Support
OngoingWe monitor and refine in the weeks after launch. This isn't a handoff and disappear.
What you get out of it
- A fast, server-rendered site that search engines and users both like
- AI features grounded in your real content, not a generic model
- An architecture that expected these features, so they stay stable
- Editor tools that save your team time on every page
Questions we get about this
It depends on your content and audience. Semantic search and editor drafting tools pay off for most content sites. Chat and personalisation depend on volume and data. We will tell you honestly during scoping.
