Quick questions, answered.

What is an embedded AI specialist?

An embedded AI specialist is a vetted AI engineer who joins your team part-time or full-time to build and improve AI systems, without the cost and delay of recruiting. Devsinn places specialists with UK teams within two weeks, from £2,250 a month, on a three-month minimum and then month to month.

Why use an AI specialist instead of hiring?

No recruitment fees and no long search. Your specialist starts within two weeks and you can scale up or down after three months.

How much does it cost to hire an AI engineer in the UK?

From £2,250 a month for a fractional specialist (20 hours a week). Full-time and senior options are on this page. Three-month minimum, then month to month.

Do they work in our tools?

Yes. They join your Slack or Teams, your tickets and your stand-ups like any team member.

What if the specialist is not a fit?

Tell us early. We review it with you and, if needed, match a new specialist.

What is a fractional AI engineer?

A fractional AI engineer works with your team part-time, typically 20 hours a week, instead of being a full-time hire. You get senior skills for the work you actually have, joined to your tools and meetings, and can increase or reduce hours as your AI roadmap changes.

How quickly can an AI specialist start?

Usually within one to two weeks of agreeing the scope. We match you with an engineer whose skills fit your stack and goals, set up access to your tools, and agree the first month's priorities in a kick-off session.

Is there a minimum contract for the AI Specialist service?

The AI Specialist service has a three-month minimum term, which gives the engineer time to deliver meaningful results. After that it runs monthly, and you can change hours or pause with notice as set out in the agreement.

AI Specialist or a fixed-price AI project?

Choose a fixed-price project when you have one clearly defined problem to solve. Choose an AI Specialist when you have a stream of AI work, want someone embedded in your team, or need ongoing improvement of AI systems after launch.

Who manages the AI specialist day to day?

The engineer works to your priorities and joins your stand-ups, tools and channels like a team member. Devsinn handles their employment, equipment, training and cover, and checks in monthly on progress and fit, so you get the output without the HR overhead.

Does the AI specialist work in UK hours?

Yes. Our specialists work agreed hours that overlap with the UK working day, so they can join your meetings and respond during business hours. Exact hours are set out in the agreement before they start.
