# Asaasin > Asaasin (https://asaasin.ai) sells **Build Pods** — dedicated AI development teams that companies subscribe to monthly instead of hiring in-house. A Build Pod is a full dev bench (engineers + QA + PM) that ships production-grade AI in 2–3 weeks and scales up or down each month. ## What we sell - **Build Pods** — monthly subscription to a dedicated AI development team. Faster than hiring (days, not months), cheaper than full-time ($150K+/year saved per engineer), more reliable than freelancers (production-grade output, not prototypes). - **AI Automation** — purpose-built workflow automations that integrate with the customer's existing stack. - **MVPs in 3 Weeks** — fixed-scope sprints that ship a working product in 21 days. - **AI Dev Team subscription** — same engineers, retained monthly. ## Who we serve We build AI software for any business sector. Live niche pages exist for: - Healthcare (dental clinics, dental labs, medical practices) - Legal (law firms) - E-commerce - Real estate - Accounting - Fitness studios The full industry-by-service matrix is at https://asaasin.ai/industries. ## How we're different - **Dedicated team, not project contract.** A Build Pod is the customer's team — same engineers each sprint. - **Ship in 2–3 weeks.** No 6-month discovery phase. No staff augmentation. The pod starts coding in week 1. - **Monthly subscription, scale up/down.** Add another engineer next month, or pause without penalty. - **Production-grade.** Code reviews, tests, deployment pipelines, monitoring — not "demo-ware". ## Key links - Industries by service: https://asaasin.ai/industries - Comparison pages: https://asaasin.ai/industries (slugs starting with `compare-`) - Contact: florent@asaasin.ai - Founder: Florent (https://www.linkedin.com/company/asaasin) - Sitemap index: https://asaasin.ai/sitemap.xml - Full article text (for ingestion): https://asaasin.ai/llms-full.txt ## Optional metadata - Founded: 2024 - Team size: 5–15 (Build Pod model — scales per engagement) - HQ: Remote / global - Pricing: monthly subscription; contact for tiered pricing ## Blog Long-form articles at https://asaasin.ai/blog, written and technically reviewed by Asaasin Engineering (bio: https://asaasin.ai/blog/authors/asaasin-engineering).
