The Alchemist CodeAI development company in Mexico: applied AI that saves real work
We put AI to work on real processes: reading documents, recognizing photos, writing, classifying and detecting fraud. We have published on it (Springer Nature, 2025), applied it in finance and shipped it in apps people use, such as PDF Master and CalTracker AI.
AI that real people already use
PDF Master reads and processes documents; CalTracker AI estimates calories from a photo.
Where AI actually saves work
Document reading
Invoices, contracts, IDs and forms turned into data your system understands, without manual entry.
Built by us: PDF Master
Image recognition
Photos of products, inspections or food that get classified and measured automatically.
Built by us: CalTracker AI
Assistants and writing
Summaries, replies, notes and drafts in your company's voice, reviewed by a person before they go out.
Built by us: Instanotes AI
Fraud and risk detection
Models that flag phishing emails, unusual transactions or risk patterns so your team reviews what matters.
Process automation
Workflows that people copy by hand between email, spreadsheets and systems, connected and with AI where it helps.
AI inside your app or system
We integrate models from the major providers or models that run on the phone, with keys on the server and per-user limits.
How we take AI to production
Proof of concept first
A scoped test on your real data to measure whether it works before you invest in the full system.
Usage costs under control
We work out what each request costs and set per-user limits. Keys live on the server, never in the app.
Your data, handled with care
We send only what's needed and, when possible, the AI runs on the device. We have worked with sensitive clinical data on IRISA.
Measure accuracy
Before launch we agree on how to measure whether the AI gets it right, and we keep measuring afterwards.

What people usually ask
How can my company use AI?
Start with a process that costs hours of manual work today: entering documents, sorting requests, answering common questions or reviewing photos. In the free first call we look at where AI saves work and where it isn't worth it.
Is my data used to train models?
We set up AI so your data isn't used for training: through services whose terms exclude it, or with models on your own server or on the phone.
Do I need a lot of data to start?
Not always. With current models, many use cases work from examples and clear rules. The proof of concept confirms it before you invest more.
Can you add AI to my existing app or system?
Yes. We connect AI to what you already have through an API, without rebuilding the system.
How much does an AI project cost?
It depends on the process, the volume and the model. We recommend starting with a fixed-scope proof of concept; the proposal is free and in writing.
