We Build AI That
Only 28% of AI projects deliver ROI (Gartner, 2026). We've shipped 50+ that did. Afnexis is a custom software development company with a 4.9/5 track record across 30+ clients. Your project goes from idea to production in 4 to 8 weeks. Working software, not a prototype.

80% of AI Projects Deliver Nothing.
These aren't our numbers. RAND, Gartner, and MIT all published in the last 6 months. The failure rate is getting worse, not better. Here's the breakdown.

What We Deliver Instead
We've shipped 50+ projects. Before taking yours on, we audit your data and tell you if it's ready to build.

One Team. Full Stack. Everything.
Our custom software development services cover the full stack: AI models, web and mobile applications, cloud infrastructure, and data pipelines. One dedicated team. One contract. No vendor hand-offs and no "that's not our part."
AI & Machine Learning
We built ShinyLoans' credit scoring engine. It processes applications in under 3 seconds. Our enterprise-grade AI systems have shipped to healthcare, fintech, and real estate. That's what production AI looks like.
Custom Software Development
Building custom software means designing for your specific business workflow, not the nearest approximation. We've shipped ERP modules, compliance platforms, and internal tools that improve operational efficiency for clients processing millions of records daily.
Web & Mobile Applications
95+ Lighthouse scores. Highline Residential's NYC broker portal and RadShifts' healthcare staffing application are both ours. Full-stack software engineering from database to deployment.
Cloud & DevOps
One client went from monthly releases to 12 deploys a week in the first month. We automate the full development lifecycle from commit to production. Terraform, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Prometheus.
Data Engineering
60% of software projects with AI components fail because the data wasn't ready (Gartner). We build the pipelines first so your data is clean before any model touches it.
Product Design
ShinyLoans' conversion went up 40% after our redesign. Highline Residential's session duration tripled. Design is part of the delivery, not an add-on after the code ships.

— Founder, My Medical Records AI
Challenge: No scalable platform to connect borrowers with lenders and automate credit decisioning
"The loan marketplace Afnexis built handles complex financial logic flawlessly. Credit scoring, payment processing, lender matching. All delivered on time."
— CEO, ShinyLoans
Challenge: NYC brokerage lacked digital tools for CMA, agent management, and market intelligence
"Afnexis delivered a beautiful, fast site with market analysis features that give our agents a real competitive edge."

Common Questions
Answers to what every CTO, founder, and product lead asks before starting a custom software project with us.
Still have questions?
We respond within 30 minutes during business hours.
How long until our custom software is live in production?
A focused feature like a RAG chatbot or document classifier takes about 4 weeks. We shipped ShinyLoans' credit scoring engine in 5 weeks. A full application with ML backend, frontend, and cloud deployment runs 6 to 8 weeks. Enterprise software with HIPAA or SOC 2 compliance takes 8 to 12 weeks. We scope yours on a free strategy call and give you a real number before you commit to anything.
What does it cost to deliver custom software?
Fixed price. Always. A single AI feature or proof of concept: $15K to $30K. Full production application with ML models, APIs, and frontend: $30K to $80K. Enterprise systems with compliance and integrations: $80K to $150K+. We don't bill hourly. You know the total before we write the first line of code. That's how you maintain project management and budget control throughout the development lifecycle.
Who owns the intellectual property after delivery?
You do. 100%. Source code, database schemas, deployment configs, model weights, and documentation. Everything transfers to your repository when the project completes. No licensing fees. No ongoing royalties. No vendor lock-in. We sign NDAs before any discovery session and never reuse proprietary components across clients. Intellectual property ownership is absolute from day one.
Why do 80% of software projects fail? How are you different?
RAND tracked 80.3% of AI projects failing. The biggest culprits: data that wasn't ready, unclear success metrics, and teams that couldn't connect ML output to the specific business problem. We audit your data before writing code. If it's not ready, we tell you before you spend $50K finding out the hard way. We define what success looks like in writing before the project starts. Not after month three.
Do you work with early stage startups?
Yes. About 40% of our clients are funded startups between Seed and Series B. My Medical Records AI was an early stage startup when we built their HIPAA-compliant AI platform. ShinyLoans was early stage too. We do fixed-price contracts regardless of company size. Clear problem, real budget. That's all we need to deliver custom software that ships.
Can you integrate with our existing legacy systems?
That's most of what we do. We've plugged ML models into legacy Java backends. Connected NLP pipelines to Salesforce. Added computer vision to warehouse management tools. We've also modernized full legacy systems using the strangler fig pattern: your team keeps working while we rebuild underneath. AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem, hybrid. We assess your stack on the strategy call and recommend the approach with the lowest risk.
How do you handle HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance?
We've shipped HIPAA-compliant platforms for My Medical Records AI, GDPR-compliant applications for European clients, and systems that passed SOC 2 audits. Your data stays inside your infrastructure. We sign NDAs and BAAs before seeing anything. Penetration testing runs before every production deployment. Healthcare and fintech compliance is part of our core software engineering process, not an add-on.
What happens after launch? Is this a long term relationship?
30 days of free support after launch: bug fixes, performance tuning, team training. After that, maintenance plans start at $2K/month: monitoring, security patches, up to 20 hours of feature work per month. About 70% of our clients stay on a plan long term. The other 30% take it in-house. We document everything so both outcomes work. Most clients who go in-house come back 6 months later when they need to scale.
