TechCrunch Disrupt AI Software Project Build 2026
Build your own AI Expert and the software it works in, at the show.
Answer 15 questions on your phone. Your answers create your AI Expert software.
Show Build, Active After the Show: $2,800 plus $30.17 per month. You will own your own AI Expert software that runs on your own hosting server and your own AI API Key. Pay $2,800 at the show, and we will follow up after the show to get you set up, and we included one hour to take what you create to its next level.
The $2,800 includes the Show Build and one hour of consulting and development time $1,600, Hosting Setup on your own server $700, and one AI Key Setup at $500.
$30.17 per month includes the EQ/IQ IP AI™ License ($272 per year and Yearly Software Maintenance at $90 per year, paid monthly). Maintenance covers backup storage of your build and 15 minutes of support time each year. Additional maintenance time costs $350 per hour, if/as needed. .
Add the subscription if you want the extra features of our unique EQ/IQ IP AI TM and us on retainer. It’s optional.
System Requirements: an SSL certificate installed on your hosting server, not a free one hosted elsewhere, Domain Guard, and HTTPS. Added integrations and connections are quoted separately. This is built into your hosting server's fees.
Customizations and Add-ons: You can choose to enhance your software with more features, such as working AI Experts, AI Coaches, AI Guides, AI Worker Bees, other features, functionality, integrations, automated eCommerce online store and online marketing, after the show. If you want to upgrade your show build, use the https://askmae.ai/book page to set up your appointment.
Differentiators: Others sell one piece of an AI system, such as just a chatbot. We build the whole system that does all the work that AI can do — and you own it all. We don’t keep any part of your custom build as our own. We only retain the right to use it for marketing purposes because we built it. You can sell it, use it yourself to make your own life or work easier and faster, or let others use it. It is your own custom software.
We have decades of experience building code projects for clients, troubleshooting new clients’ issues, and solving code-related issues for businesses and individuals, without ever disappearing on any client, and all 5-star highest praises from every person who has worked with us since 1999.
Our AI services work with any AI and enhance the skills and capabilities of any chatbot, so you aren’t going to lose your custom build due to a chatbot going down.
We have a long track record of safekeeping and keep a backup for you, so you will also never lose your build due to any hacker or phisher stealing your domain. In addition, we require certain safe measures that secure your system, and we set everything up for you as part of your project build out, so that’s far less of a concern anyway.
Why Our Price Is Lower
You own your software. It runs on your own hosting server. You hold your own AI accounts. You pay your AI provider at cost. We never resell AI usage and we never control our customers’ businesses in any way. We empower them.
A platform that runs your AI on its own accounts cannot know your usage in advance, so it prices in a buffer. Working with us, your system has no buffer because you pay your own usage directly.
That is why your monthly fee is $30.17. It covers your EQ/IQ IP AI™ license and your yearly maintenance.
Published prices for similar AI platforms start at $79 per month and some reach $8,000 or more per month.
Two different software developers we have known for years quoted us $50,000 starting cost for a custom app without any AI capabilities, just a basic software build. The lowest published price we found online for a custom AI project without the software built around it was $15,000. So, the comparison price we are beating is $65,000 for the one-time build before the subscription gets added.
Our TechCrunch Disrupt show price is $2,800 once, then $30.17 per month.
Our regular price for this service starts at $14,000 with a $2,500 one time project planning fee. So, if after the show you contact us about getting a custom AI app or AI software built, that is going to cost upwards of $14,000. We’ve made it really worth it to start it now and upgrade it later!
NOTE: YOU HAVE TO CLICK TO ADD TO CART, THEN CLICK CLAIM OFFER, AND THEN CLICK ADD TO CART AGAIN, in order to add both the build fee and the subscription to the cart together.
