Frequently asked questions

Rivac AI Labs, also written Rivac Labs, is a full-service AI agency founded in 2026 and based in Mumbai, India. We design, build, and then operate the AI agents, automations, and software a growing company runs on, and we stay accountable for them after launch instead of handing over a deliverable and leaving. The work spans strategy, engineering, and automation.

Rohan Vinay Chaudhary is the founder of Rivac AI Labs, and the company is named after him: R, V, and C are his initials, and woven into the middle of them is IA, artificial intelligence spelled the way most of the world outside the U.S. writes it, so RIVAC carries AI inside its letters. The company was founded in 2026 and works from Mumbai, India.

It depends on scope, but pricing breaks into three parts. A low fixed-fee pilot first, typically $500–$2,500, so you see real results before committing further. Then a one-time build fee for the full production system, typically $3,500–$25,000+ depending on complexity. And a tiered monthly retainer afterward for ongoing monitoring, tuning, and support, typically $1,500–$12,000+/mo depending on scope. Every fee is flat or clearly metered, never credit-based billing, and never billed for output you reject.

• Pilot: $500–$2,500, fixed fee
• Production build: $3,500–$25,000+, one-time
• Retainer: $1,500–$12,000+/mo, ongoing

A pilot is usually scoped to 1–3 weeks. A full production build typically runs 3–8 weeks depending on integration complexity, with milestone check-ins along the way rather than a single 'big reveal' at the end. Ongoing retainer work is, by design, continuous, we're not trying to finish and leave; we're built to keep improving the system as your business and the underlying AI models change.

At launch, every customer-facing action (a message, a quote, an email, a published piece of content) is drafted by the system and approved by a human before it goes out. This isn't an internal habit we're quiet about; it's a marketed guarantee. Autonomy is earned from there: a workflow only moves to lighter-touch supervision after it's built a track record on lower-stakes actions first, and human review continues at set intervals after that.

Your data, prompts, and outputs are kept confidential and are never shared externally or used to train systems for other clients without your explicit written consent. Every account, domain, dataset, and line of code created on your behalf belongs to you, with a documented path to export it. That is the default on every engagement, not an upgrade: there is no separate fee to buy the source code or the IP, because it is already yours.

Our core focus is growth-stage and mid-market companies (roughly $2M–$50M in revenue) with a real operational or marketing function already in place. We also work with regulated and high-ticket verticals (fintech, professional services, and healthcare-adjacent businesses) once the right compliance groundwork is in place on both sides.

No, and we'd be skeptical of anyone in this space who does. What we do guarantee is a rigorous, honest process: an agreed success metric before any build starts, transparent reporting on whether we hit it, and accountability for fixing it if we don't.

Retainers run month-to-month with 30 days' written notice to cancel, no long-term lock-in. We think low churn should come from the value we deliver, not from a contract you can't get out of.

A self-serve AI tool gives you the raw capability but no supervision and often confusing, credit-based billing that charges you even when the output fails. A freelancer or single-purpose agency gives you one slice of the picture with no one accountable for how it fits into everything else. We give you one team that carries your business context across every engagement, supervises everything customer-facing, prices in flat and transparent terms, and stays accountable for the outcome.

Yes, that's what the initial diagnostic and discovery call are for. Tell us the problem in your own words and we'll help you find the highest-leverage starting point, scoped small enough to prove itself before you commit to anything bigger.

Book a short call. We'll ask a handful of pointed questions about where the pain actually is, and if there's a fit, we'll propose a scoped, fixed-fee pilot with an agreed success metric, not a long-term contract.
