New York

AI agents and automation for New York companies, built remotely on Eastern hours.

We work with companies across New York on AI agents, AI workflow automation and AI integration. Cloudsoft Industries LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. We serve clients worldwide; our engineering team works from Colombia (UTC-5). There is no New York branch and no on-site staff, so this page is explicit about how remote delivery works for Eastern time, for the state's financial-services rules and for the industries that run in New York City, upstate and Long Island.

AI development New York

Who we work with in New York

We work with companies across New York, and the work changes with the region. In New York City, financial-services firms live on reconciliations, client onboarding, trade support, compliance review and reporting, while media and publishing houses manage rights, contributors, editorial calendars and a constant stream of content operations. The city's real-estate sector adds leasing, property management, vendor invoices and closing paperwork, and its law, accounting and consulting firms turn documents into billable work every day. On Long Island, healthcare providers and mid-sized distributors carry heavy administrative loads. Albany sits near state-government contractors and university research offices, Buffalo mixes health systems with cross-border logistics and manufacturing, and Rochester pairs healthcare and higher education with imaging and technology companies. The AI work we scope usually starts in one of these five industries.

Financial services: onboarding and know-your-customer file checks, reconciliation breaks, trade-support queues, compliance review packs.
Media and publishing: rights and permissions tracking, contributor and invoice handling, editorial-archive search, content-operations workflows.
Healthcare: referral and intake handling, prior-authorization paperwork, scheduling, policy search with human review.
Real estate: lease abstraction, property-management requests, vendor-invoice coding, closing-document checklists.
Professional services: document review support, time-entry and matter intake, proposal and knowledge search, client-reporting packs.

What we build for New York teams

Three solutions cover most requests from New York companies, and each has its own page with use cases for the state's industries. AI agents are software workers that read a request, decide on the next step, call your tools and hand off to a person when they should; they start at $18,000. AI workflow automation turns a repeated, rules-heavy process such as an onboarding check, an invoice approval or a reconciliation into a monitored workflow, and starts at $8,000 per workflow. AI integration and RAG connects language models to your own documents, databases and systems so answers are grounded in your data with permissions respected; it starts at $15,000. Before any of them we recommend the AI Readiness Sprint at $4,500, a short scoping engagement that ranks use cases and tells you honestly which ones are not worth building.

AI agents for New York businesses: from $18,000.
AI workflow automation for New York teams: from $8,000 per workflow.
AI integration and RAG for New York companies: from $15,000.
AI Readiness Sprint: $4,500. AgentOps after launch: $1,500/month.

Working hours: New York and Colombia

Colombia is on UTC-5 all year and does not change its clocks, while New York moves between Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time. In winter the two share exactly the same clock, so a 9:00 a.m. meeting in Manhattan is 9:00 a.m. in Colombia. From spring to autumn New York is one hour ahead, so the same meeting is 8:00 a.m. for the team in Colombia. Either way the entire New York business day sits inside our working day, including the early starts common in finance and the late finishes common in media. We schedule remote delivery on your business hours, and in week one we agree who is reachable when a production workflow needs attention and how requests move between your team and ours.

New York and Colombia clocks by season
Season	New York (Eastern)	Colombia (UTC-5)	Difference
Winter (Eastern Standard Time, November to March)	9:00 a.m.	9:00 a.m.	Same clock
Summer (Eastern Daylight Time, March to November)	9:00 a.m.	8:00 a.m.	Colombia is 1 hour behind

Data and compliance context in New York

New York's most distinctive rule for software vendors is the New York Department of Financial Services cybersecurity regulation, 23 NYCRR 500. It applies to covered financial-services entities such as banks, insurers and licensed lenders, and it expects risk-based controls, access management, incident response and oversight of third-party service providers. If you are covered, a vendor building an AI system on your data becomes part of that third-party oversight, so expect due-diligence questions about access, encryption, logging and data flows. The state also has a data-security law known as the SHIELD Act, and New York City has a local law on automated employment decision tools, so check with counsel before an agent screens or ranks job candidates. In healthcare, HIPAA applies nationwide. Customers in all of these sectors commonly request SOC 2 reports; we do not hold SOC 2 or any other certification and never imply otherwise. We build to the controls your review requires and work inside your cloud accounts. None of this is legal advice.

Data minimization: only the fields a task needs are sent to a model, with account numbers and identifiers masked where possible.
Third-party oversight: documented access scopes, credentials and data flows that your vendor-management team can review.
Human review on anything that reaches a client, a regulator or a hiring decision, with an audit trail of what the agent saw and did.
Your cloud, your keys: the system runs in your accounts and repositories, not in ours.

How an engagement works

Most New York engagements follow three stages. We start with the AI Readiness Sprint, where we map your workflows, data and systems, rank candidate use cases by value and risk, and give you a build plan you can take to any vendor. Next comes the build, priced by solution rather than by the hour, with demos on a fixed cadence in your time zone and code in your repositories from the first commit. After launch, AgentOps keeps the system healthy with monitoring, evaluation, prompt and model updates, and incident response. Contracts and invoicing in USD through Cloudsoft Industries LLC (Delaware). Clients own 100% of the code and IP once each milestone is paid. Code lives in the client's repositories from day one. Mutual NDA available.

What remote delivery means for a New York team

We have no New York branch, no local staff on the ground and no plans to present ourselves as if we did. The team works from Colombia, joins your calls on video and ships through your repositories and ticketing tools. For most AI work that is a good trade: senior engineers on Eastern hours and one clear owner for the outcome. New York teams already run distributed vendors across many time zones, and a team that overlaps your whole day with no handoff delay is easy to manage. If your project depends on people being physically in your building, a different partner is the honest answer. If it depends on clear scope, fast iteration and systems that keep working after launch, that is the work we do.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a New York presence?

No. Cloudsoft Industries LLC is a Delaware company and our engineering team works remotely from Colombia. We join your Eastern-time calls on video and work through your repositories. If you need someone physically on site, we are not the right fit.

How does the time difference work with New York?

In winter Colombia and New York share the same clock. From spring to autumn New York is one hour ahead, so a 9:00 a.m. Eastern meeting is 8:00 a.m. in Colombia. Your whole business day falls inside our working day.

Can you work with firms covered by NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500?

We can work within the controls a covered entity needs from a service provider: documented access, minimal data sent to models, logging, incident communication and work inside your cloud accounts. We hold no certifications, and your compliance team decides what is required. This is not legal advice.

How much does AI development cost for a New York company?

Pricing is the same wherever you are: the AI Readiness Sprint is $4,500, AI agents start at $18,000, AI workflow automation at $8,000 per workflow, AI integration and RAG at $15,000, and AgentOps at $1,500/month.

Who owns the code and how are we billed?

Contracts and invoicing in USD through Cloudsoft Industries LLC (Delaware). Clients own 100% of the code and IP once each milestone is paid. Code lives in the client's repositories from day one. Mutual NDA available.
