AI Developer in Dhaka for Startups and Enterprises

If you are looking for an AI developer in Dhaka who can take a product from a whiteboard to paying customers, this page is for you. I'm Md. Emamul Mursalin, a freelance AI product developer from Rajshahi who works with Dhaka startups, agencies and enterprise teams: I design and build LLM agents, retrieval systems over company data, AI-powered mobile apps and MVPs, and I come to Dhaka for the meetings that matter.

Dhaka has plenty of software agencies and very few individual engineers who have shipped production AI systems end to end. Most AI development in the city is still a chatbot bolted onto a website. I work at the layer above that: agents with tool calling and evaluation sets, multi-tenant SaaS with usage-based billing, and integrations that have to survive real traffic and a security review.

What an AI developer in Dhaka can do for your startup

Dhaka's startup scene moves fast and raises on traction, which means a product has to be in front of users before the money runs out. My MVP packages are built for that: one core workflow live in two to three weeks for $999, or a launch-ready product with Stripe or local payments, an AI feature and an admin dashboard in four to six weeks for $2,999. Founders keep every line of code and every account.

For AI-first startups I go further. The Professional AI agent SaaS package delivers a multi-tenant product with retrieval over customer data, multi-step agent workflows, team workspaces, tiered billing and LLM observability in five to eight weeks for $4,999. I built Contently AI, a multi-model content SaaS, and Virtual Client, a multi-tenant AI voice coaching platform, on this pattern.

AI integration for enterprises and established companies in Dhaka

Banks, telcos, garment groups and e-commerce companies in Dhaka have the data and the volume where AI pays for itself quickly — support triage, document processing, internal knowledge search, sales assistants — but they also have IT, compliance and procurement processes a freelancer has to respect. I have been on the vendor side of that process and I plan for it: a written architecture, a threat model, data-handling rules, and deployment inside your cloud accounts rather than mine.

My AI Integration packages start at $799 for a single feature added to an existing product, $2,499 for RAG over your documents plus automated workflows with human review, and $6,999 for an organisation-wide rollout with an internal AI gateway, private model deployment where required, and governance. Bangla-language use cases are a normal part of the scope, not an add-on.

  • RAG knowledge bases over policies, contracts, help centres and databases
  • Support and sales assistants inside your existing web, app or WhatsApp channels
  • Document classification, extraction and summarisation pipelines
  • Internal AI gateway with routing, caching, budgets and audit logs
  • Evaluation sets and monitoring so quality is measured, not assumed

Meetings in Dhaka, delivery from anywhere

I am based in Rajshahi and travel to Dhaka regularly. Discovery workshops, architecture reviews, stakeholder demos and kickoff sessions work best in the same room, and I schedule Dhaka trips around them. Day-to-day delivery then runs on the same rhythm I use with clients in London or New York: a shared project board, written weekly updates, a demo at every milestone and a fixed weekly call.

If your company also has an overseas office or investors, working with me means one developer who is comfortable in both contexts — a Gulshan boardroom on Tuesday and a US investor demo on Thursday evening Dhaka time.

Why an individual senior developer instead of a Dhaka agency

Agencies are the right answer when you need ten people tomorrow. For a product that needs one strong architect and builder, the agency model adds account managers, junior developers and a margin between you and the work. When you hire me you talk directly to the person who designs the system and writes the code, and decisions happen in the same conversation.

Because my rates are published and fixed, budgeting is straightforward: the proposal states scope, milestones, exclusions and price before anything starts. Hourly work is $100-150, retainers start at $500 a month, and I sign NDAs and assign all intellectual property on payment.

Stack and standards

I build on Next.js, React, TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL with Prisma and Redis, React Native with Expo for mobile, and the OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and Groq APIs with LangGraph for orchestration and pgvector for retrieval. Every project ships with automated tests, CI/CD, monitoring and documentation, because the product has to keep working after I hand it over.

Frequently asked questions

Can we meet in person in Dhaka?

Yes. I travel to Dhaka regularly for discovery workshops, kickoffs, architecture reviews and demos. Tell me where your office is and we will schedule the meeting around my next trip; for urgent projects I can usually be there within the week.

How much does AI chatbot or AI agent development cost in Dhaka?

Dhaka agencies typically quote $3,000-8,000 for an entry-level chatbot and considerably more for anything custom. My published prices are $799 for one AI feature added to an existing product, $2,499 for RAG over your data with automated workflows, and $1,499-4,999 for a complete AI agent SaaS product depending on tier.

Do you work with enterprise IT and procurement processes?

Yes. I provide architecture documents, a threat model, data-handling and retention rules, and I deploy inside your own cloud accounts. I can complete vendor security questionnaires and work alongside your internal IT team rather than around them.

Can you build for Bangla-speaking users?

Yes. Bangla-language chat, search and document processing are a normal part of scope. Model choice, prompt design and evaluation sets are adjusted for Bangla and mixed Bangla-English input, and the interface can be fully localised.

Do you take on long-term or part-time work for Dhaka companies?

Yes. Beyond fixed-price packages I offer monthly retainers from $500 with reserved hours, and a four-week embedded fractional CTO engagement at 20 hours a week for $4,999 for teams that need senior technical leadership now.

Which payment methods do you accept in Bangladesh?

Local bank transfer in taka, and for companies invoicing in USD, Wise, Payoneer or international bank transfer. Fixed-price projects are paid by milestone; retainers and hourly work are invoiced monthly or weekly.
