Case studies

Real problems, solved in production

A look at how we turn messy, manual problems into reliable systems that run themselves.

Data Intelligence

Search Intelligence Pipeline

Problem

A client needed structured infrastructure-project data across 27 countries — impossible to gather and keep current by hand.

Approach

Built a large-scale pipeline on SerpApi (Google Search + AI Overview) with automated CAPTCHA handling, structured parsing, and OpenAI batch processing into a queryable database.

Outcome

2,046 queries across 27 countries turned into one clean, queryable dataset — replacing weeks of manual research with a repeatable engine.

  • SerpApi
  • OpenAI
  • Python
Automation / Lead Gen

Automated Lead Engine

Problem

Foreclosure lead generation meant manually checking dozens of US county court & sheriff sites every single day.

Approach

A daily Playwright (stealth) pipeline with proxy rotation that harvests filings, dedupes them, enriches via skip-trace APIs, and auto-pushes qualified leads into GoHighLevel CRM — with daily summaries and failure alerts.

Outcome

A fully unattended lead engine — enriched, qualified leads land in the CRM every day with zero manual work.

  • Playwright
  • Proxies
  • GoHighLevel
Real-time Platform

PulseOps — Live DevOps Observability

Problem

Engineering teams had no single, live view of pushes, PRs, deploys, and incidents as they happened.

Approach

An event-driven platform on FastAPI + Kafka streaming events into PostgreSQL & OpenSearch with Valkey caching, pushing updates to dashboards over Server-Sent Events.

Outcome

Sub-second live observability — teams see every deploy and incident the moment it happens, not minutes later.

  • FastAPI
  • Kafka
  • OpenSearch
Healthcare AI

Verita AI — Voice-First Clinical Platform

Problem

Clinicians lose hours to manual note-taking and documentation after every consultation.

Approach

A voice-first Django platform integrating AssemblyAI speech-to-text with Claude, Groq, and Gemini for clinical entity extraction, multi-turn chat, and auto-generated summaries.

Outcome

Consultation notes generated automatically from voice — turning hours of admin into seconds.

Who we work with

Built for teams who need it shipped, not pitched

🚀

Funded startups

Founders who need to launch an AI product fast, validate it with real users, and iterate — without burning the round on a slow agency.

🧩

SaaS teams adding AI

Product teams bolting on copilots, RAG search, or automation — who want it done right, integrated cleanly, and shipped to production.

⚙️

Operators & agencies

Businesses drowning in manual data work who need reliable scraping, enrichment, and automation pipelines that just run.

We're honest about fit: if you want the cheapest possible developer or a quick throwaway demo, we're probably not your team. If you want it built to last and shipped on time, we are.

Why Kortex Labs

Senior engineering, zero guesswork

How we de-risk your project from day one.

👨‍💻

Founder-led & senior

You work directly with the engineer building your product — no juniors learning on your budget, no account-manager wall.

💸

Fixed scope, fixed price

Agree the scope and the number up front. No surprise invoices, no scope creep on your dime.

🛡️

Production-grade by default

Evals, monitoring, guardrails, and tests — built for real users from day one, not just a demo that looks good.

5+ years, 20+ shipped

Real production systems behind us — LLM platforms, data pipelines across 27 countries, and real-time event systems.

Founder & Lead Engineer
About

Senior engineering, founder-led

Kortex Labs is led by Saif Ur Rehman, a senior Python engineer with 5+ years building AI-powered products, multi-tenant SaaS, and production-grade APIs. The work spans LLM APIs, RAG, vector databases, event-driven streaming, and deep roots in web scraping and ETL.
