George Edos

Hire an AI Developer in NYC

I am George Edos, a software engineer and the founder of Novam, working from New York. I build AI features that run inside real products and businesses: assistants that answer customers, workflows that remove manual work, and agents that call tools and hand off to a person when needed.

What I build with AI

AI chat and phone agents that answer common questions, qualify leads and book appointments, with a clear handoff to a human when the conversation needs one.

Features inside existing software: summaries, drafting, search over your own documents, classification and data extraction, using models such as Claude and GPT.

Workflow automation that connects your tools: forms, CRMs, email, payments and internal dashboards, so repetitive steps happen on their own.

Prototypes you can put in front of customers quickly, then hardened for production once they prove useful.

Why work with a founder who ships

I run Novam, a company that builds and operates its own software products, so I have lived with the consequences of what I ship: uptime, billing, support and cost per request. That experience shapes how I design AI systems: simple, observable and cheap enough to keep running.

My stack is React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and deployment on Vercel, Railway and AWS. I have integrated Claude and GPT into products and built a no-code builder for AI phone and chat agents.

How an engagement works

We start with a short call to understand the process you want to improve and what a good result looks like. I then propose a small first milestone with a fixed scope, so you see something working before committing to more.

I keep the build understandable. You get the code, documentation and a walkthrough, and I can stay on for maintenance or hand over to your team.

Good fit and not a fit

A good fit: small and mid-sized businesses, startups and teams that want one senior person to design and build an AI feature end to end.

Not a fit: large staffing-style engagements that need a big team, or projects where the goal is to replace human judgment in high-stakes decisions without review.

Frequently asked questions

Where are you based?
I work from New York and take on projects remotely and in person around the New York area.
Which AI models do you use?
I choose the model per task, commonly Claude and GPT, and design the system so models can be swapped as prices and quality change.
Can you add AI to software I already have?
Yes. Many projects add one well-scoped AI feature to an existing app rather than rebuilding it.
