Frequently asked questions
What is Dorio?
Dorio is an AI systems and product engineering studio that helps growing businesses automate manual operations, fix broken AI tools, and build new AI-powered products. We work on a fixed-price, 4–8 week build cycle, and clients work directly with the engineer building their system.
Who does Dorio help?
Growing businesses with manual workflows wasting 20–40 hours a week, software products that need smarter features, broken AI tools that no longer work in production, and founders building new AI products without an engineering team.
What does Dorio build?
Business automations (reporting, document processing, approvals, data movement), AI features (semantic search, recommendations, summaries), AI agents and digital workers, system rebuilds and repairs, and full new AI product builds.
How long does a typical Dorio project take?
Most fixes and automations go live in 4–8 weeks. Full new AI product builds usually take 6–10 weeks. A System Diagnostic takes a few days to two weeks.
What does Dorio cost?
System Diagnostic: $500–$2,000. Fix or automate a system: $3,000–$15,000+. Full AI product build: $20,000–$60,000+. Ongoing growth partnership: from $2,000/month. Every quote is fixed-price before work starts.
How is Dorio different from an agency?
Agencies bill hourly with layered teams (account manager, PM, designer, dev). Dorio is fixed-price, you talk directly to the engineer building your system, and projects ship in 4–8 weeks instead of 3–6 months.
How is Dorio different from hiring a freelancer?
Same direct-engineer relationship as a freelancer, but with a delivery process, fixed pricing, documentation, and continuity. You're not the project manager, and the system doesn't disappear if one person goes quiet.
Do clients own the code and system at the end?
Yes. You own the codebase, infrastructure, and documentation completely. Every project ends with a clean handover so your team can run, extend, and modify the system without depending on Dorio.
