A free intro conversation
A WhatsApp thread or a short call, whichever suits you. You speak to the engineers who will actually build it, see how we work and ask us anything. No sales theatre, no obligation.
About ZAIQ: An engineering company,not an agency.
Everything about ZAIQ starts with engineering. We build AI assistants, lead engines and software for businesses, mainly B2B, and run our own products in production: Shown for search and ads, Skryp for web data and Puley for ChatGPT and Claude. Every project is scoped and built by the engineers you talk to. No sales layer, no handoff, no committee between the problem and the code.

The builders, not a sales layer
The people who scope your build are the people who write the code. No account managers, no handoff.
Built for outcomes
Clear scope, predictable delivery, and you own the result.
How the engagement works
02
You send the brief
You lay out what you want built and the systems and tools you already run. We hand you a short checklist so it comes back complete in one pass, not ten emails.
03
We counter with a plan and a price
We come back with what we would build, what is genuinely possible and what is not, one fixed price in rand and any running costs. You accept, decline or counter.
04
We build it, then you choose
Once the scope is agreed we build it and put it into production. Then you take the keys, or you keep our team on to run and extend it. You own the code and the accounts either way.
The difference
Less process. More product.

Why this model works
01
You work with the builders.
The people in the first conversation are the people designing the architecture and writing the code. Nothing gets translated through an account manager.
02
We use whichever technology wins.
ZAIQ is not tied to a model vendor or software platform. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local models and conventional software are components. The result is the product.
03
We price the outcome.
The scope, deliverables and acceptance criteria are agreed before development. You know what is being built and what it costs.
The team
The people who scope your build are the people who write it.
AS
Co-founderAdam Sacharowitz
AI systems engineer. Builds the apps, websites and tools clients use every day, and scopes the builds he works on.
CE
Co-founderChad Etkind
Builds the data, lead and automation systems: engines that read a market or a business's records and turn them into leads, answers and decisions.
Beyond the work
We’ll talk to the next generation, for free.
The client work is a B2B business and always will be. But AI is moving faster than any syllabus, so when a school or a university wants someone who actually builds this to come and speak to their students, we say yes when we can.
It is free, it is case by case, and it depends on what else is on. No polished sales pitch, just a straight, jargon-free look at where AI is genuinely heading and what it means for the people about to enter the workforce. If you run an educational institution and that sounds useful, get in touch.
