# Pineau Labs > One-person agentic AI software company in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Pineau Labs builds working software prototypes in 2 to 4 weeks for a fixed price (typically $5,000), grows them into MVPs on the same codebase, ships production AI features, trains custom AI models, and runs AI-powered security audits. Founded and run by Brad Pineau, a 25-year software engineer and former CTO, using frontier AI models (Claude Opus, OpenAI Codex) as a daily delivery tool. Every engagement is fixed-price and scoped up front. Based in Canada, available worldwide. ## Start here - [Start your idea](https://www.pineaulabs.com/start): The fastest way to a fixed-price quote. A short intake form: describe what you are building (a new idea, an existing product, a security audit, a custom AI model, or something else) and get a scoped, fixed-price quote back. No calls required. - [Sprint catalog](https://www.pineaulabs.com/services): All the ways to engage: fixed-scope sprints, a fractional CTO retainer from $2,500/mo, or custom product development, plus a "What I build with AI" overview (LLM features, agents, RAG, computer vision, custom models). ## Sprints (fixed-scope engagements) - [Idea-to-Prototype Sprint](https://www.pineaulabs.com/services/prototype): Working prototype in 2 to 4 weeks. Live URL, full GitHub repo, two or three core flows. Standard stack, no lock-in. Typically $5,000. - [Prototype-to-MVP Sprint](https://www.pineaulabs.com/services/prototype-to-mvp): Take a working prototype to first paying users in 6 to 12 weeks. Stripe payments, monitoring, admin dashboard, security baseline. Typically $10,000 to $15,000. - [AI Integration Sprint](https://www.pineaulabs.com/services/ai-integration): Production AI features in 6 to 12 weeks. LLM-powered features, RAG over private data, tool-calling agents, document intelligence, a secure model-agnostic foundation, and HIPAA-safe de-identification. Same patterns used to ship 52 AI tools behind a ten-layer orchestration engine on Fitly AI. Typically $15,000. - [Custom AI Model Sprint](https://www.pineaulabs.com/services/custom-ai-model): Fine-tune a computer-vision or ML model to flag exactly what matters in your data, in 4 weeks. Runs on your own hardware, offline, no per-call fees. You own the model and the training data. Typically $7,500. - [AI Security Sprint](https://www.pineaulabs.com/services/security): One-week security audit run by two frontier AI models (Claude Opus + OpenAI Codex) against OWASP Top 10, OWASP LLM Top 10, secrets, dependencies, infrastructure, and business logic. Branded, board-ready report and configured AI tooling. First-round fixes come as pull requests; anything larger comes back as a fixed-price remediation sprint scoped from the findings. Typically $5,000. ## Other engagements - [Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)](https://www.pineaulabs.com/forward-deployed-engineer): Fractional or contractor FDE for companies that need AI deployed inside their business. Scope, build, ship, and stay on the account until a real business metric moves. - [Partners](https://www.pineaulabs.com/partners): White-label AI delivery for software consultancies, audit and compliance firms, fractional CTO practices, and no-code agencies. Productized sprints resold under your brand. ## Work and examples - [Work](https://www.pineaulabs.com/work): The Fitly case study plus builds scoped for clients. - [Fitly AI case study](https://www.pineaulabs.com/case-studies/fitly): AI-native fitness platform where one conversational agent does the job of five apps, built on 52 tools behind a ten-layer orchestration engine in production. Built with Claude Code and Codex from day one. - [Example: HIPAA-safe AI assistant](https://www.pineaulabs.com/examples/ai-assistant): A build scoped for a client. Staff ask about any record in plain English and get instant, cited answers, with PHI de-identified before the model ever sees it. Maps to the AI Integration Sprint. - [Example: computer-vision defect detector](https://www.pineaulabs.com/examples/vision-defect-detection): A build scoped for a client. A fine-tuned model that flags anomalies in imagery, wrapped in an offline tool the client owns. Maps to the Custom AI Model Sprint. ## About and contact - [About Brad Pineau](https://www.pineaulabs.com/about): 25-year software engineer, former CTO, 4 patents, 15+ years of healthcare (HIPAA-grade) software.
