Generative AI development, measured per approved output
On an AI marketing platform we built, a person approves every generated piece.

What do generative AI development services include?
Generative AI development services build software that produces new content with a model: text, images, documents, video or voice. Most of the work is what surrounds the model: which model handles each step, what data and rules shape its prompt, which checks reject a bad result, and what each accepted result costs. Clouditive designs and runs that whole path, from the first call to the published output.
A demo shows one good output. A product ships thousands, and the money goes into the ones that need fixing: someone has to find them, and every rejected generation was still paid for.
So we count the way the business does, by what was approved and not by what was generated.

Proven on real work
Real clients, dated figures, and a plain note on what was not done.
Clouditive built our product with us goal by goal: the AI with its judge panel, the Google Cloud platform and 854 test files. We shipped 89 releases in 10 days, each checked to run the exact tested build, and a person still approves every piece.

Frequently asked questions
What is generative AI development?
Building software that uses models to produce text, images, documents, video or voice, plus the checks and cost tracking that make the output safe to publish.
Which models do you use?
On our AI marketing platform: Gemini and open models on Vertex AI, plus text-to-speech and image models. Cost per approved piece decides which model each step uses.
Choose by cost per approved output, measured on your own use case, not by a leaderboard. Count how many outputs pass your checks, then divide what the calls cost by that number. On our AI marketing platform that figure decides which model each station uses, which is why open models and Gemini run side by side. The pilot reports it for your use case.
How do you stop generated content from breaking rules?
Rules per industry and country stop a piece before it exists, independent judges block verifiable defects, and a person approves. 10 forbidden prompts produced 0 pieces.
Put checks before and after the model, and keep approval with a person. Rules stop what must never be generated, such as a claim forbidden in a given country. Independent judges then block outputs with verifiable defects, and they only block: they never approve. Each judge is tested on examples whose right answer is known before it runs. A person approves what is left.
We keep blocking and approving apart on purpose. A checker that also approves has nobody left to catch it.
Does a person review the output?
On our platform, yes: a person approves every piece. The judges only block; they never approve.
What does the AI Agent Pilot include?
One AI agent working on one real use case of yours, evals that score its output, and the cost per task, measured. USD 5,000, 2 weeks.
What does it cost to run once it is built?
It depends on your models and your volume, so we measure it. The pilot reports cost per task; on our platform a ledger records the cost of every model call.
Who builds it, and in what language?
Nearshore engineers in LATAM, working 100% in English, Spanish or Portuguese. You interview the engineer who will do the work.
What we built: a pipeline that generates five kinds of output
For an AI advertising service we designed and built the generation side end to end. It produces copy, images, carousels, documents and short videos with voice as a weekly batch, and a person approves each piece before it is scheduled.
What sits around the models:
- Gemini and open models on Vertex AI, plus text-to-speech and image models, with no single vendor.
- Forbidden-claims rules per industry and country, built from 438 data files from primary sources. They stop a piece before it exists: 10 forbidden prompts produced 0 pieces.
- An independent panel of AI judges that blocks verifiable defects and never approves. Each judge was tested on labelled examples before it went live.
- A sourced craft knowledge base per industry, niche and country across 39 countries of the Americas, every principle with its source and quote.
- A cost ledger for every piece and every model call.
Generative AI or an AI agent: which one do you need?
A generative system produces content for someone to review. An agent decides its next step and calls tools to finish a task. Many products need both: our AI marketing platform generates the pieces and also plans the calendar and schedules the posts. If the goal is an output you review, start with generation. If it is a task that touches your systems, read the agent page.
How much do generative AI development services cost?
Start with the AI Agent Pilot: USD 5,000 fixed for 2 weeks, covering one real use case, evals that score its output, and the cost per task, measured. Model usage is billed by the model provider and depends on your volume, so we measure it instead of guessing. Engineers added after the pilot are billed per hour: Senior USD 45–50, Lead USD 55–60, with a 6-month minimum.
