SSV.ASIA is an independent, bootstrapped software studio building AI research tools for technical professionals.
What we do
We build Expert AI — a family of products (terminal, desktop app, mobile app, and knowledge-retrieval MCP server) that give researchers and technical teams frontier-class AI models at a fraction of standard API pricing, grounded in cited, domain-specific knowledge rather than generic web-scale training data.
Who it's for
Researchers, engineers, analysts, and consultants working in pharma, biotech, materials science, climate science, aerospace, energy, AI/ML, architecture, and engineering — anyone whose work depends on accurate, citable, technical answers rather than plausible-sounding ones.
What we build
Expert AI Terminal — A lightweight (3–4 MB), multi-model AI CLI for professional researchers and technical practitioners. Built for scientists, engineers, analysts, and consultants across pharma, biotech, materials science, climate, aerospace, energy, AI/ML, and architecture & engineering — not just AEC. It routes across 11+ model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, Meta, and more), reads and edits local files, runs an agentic coding/research harness, and ships with zero data retention.
Expert OS — A full desktop workspace for the same model mesh, for researchers who want a visual, project-based environment instead of a terminal.
Expert AI on Android (early access) — A mobile companion to the terminal, currently rolling out via Google Play early access.
Knowledge MCP — A retrieval-augmented knowledge server built on a 12-million-word personal Obsidian vault, indexed for exact-match lexical retrieval against real code and standards language (NBC 2016, IS codes, ASHRAE, IBC, Eurocode). Connectable to Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients.
BOQ Calculator — A free construction cost estimator for preliminary bills of quantities.
How it's run
SSV.ASIA is bootstrapped and independently owned — no outside funding, no venture pressure to inflate usage or cut corners on data handling. Growth is funded by revenue: pay-as-you-go passes starting at ₹60, and a monthly Unlimited plan for heavier use. The bet is simple — that a solo builder with deep domain expertise and a tight product can out-compete generic AI wrappers on the thing that actually matters to a researcher: can I trust the answer, and does it remember what I told it yesterday.
