AI and custom software development for US companies

STOP HOLIDAYS is a full-cycle AI and custom software development company in Riga, Latvia (EU) that works remotely with US startups and SMBs. You describe a business problem, we build a working prototype at our own cost in weeks and show it live, and only then do you decide whether to take it to production. The team is led by a developer with a doctorate in AI and hands-on model training experience, and our afternoon overlaps with US East Coast mornings.

What we build for US teams

We design and build AI products and business software end to end: the engineering, the data work and the AI integration are handled by one team. Typical projects start with a concrete operational problem, such as slow support, manual document handling, scattered customer data or a product idea that needs an MVP.

Our service areas fit together, so a project can start small and grow without changing vendors.

Who this is for

We work with US startups and small and mid-sized companies looking for a development partner abroad: founders who need an MVP built, operations teams that want to automate a manual process, and product companies that need extra senior engineering capacity.

If you are comparing options to hire AI developers or to outsource custom software development to Europe, the free working prototype lets you judge the result before committing budget.

How we work: prototype first, in weeks

The model is simple. You give us a business problem. We build a working prototype at our own cost and show it live, usually within weeks rather than months. Then you decide. If it fits, we take it to production and scale it; if it does not, you have lost nothing.

Team, time zone and communication

The lead developer holds a doctorate in AI, and the team has hands-on experience training models, not only calling third-party APIs. The founders also bring real business experience from construction, pharma and COVID logistics, and from IT projects with over $300M in turnover in two years.

Riga is in the EU, so our afternoon overlaps with US East Coast mornings, which makes regular calls and quick reviews practical. All project communication is in English.

Technology, integrations and data protection

We build web systems, mobile apps, AI workflows and dashboards, and connect them to the tools you already use: CRMs, accounting and booking systems, messengers, payment services and internal databases.

As an EU company we follow GDPR practice, with clear rules on where data is stored and who can access it. We do not claim formal certifications; security requirements for your sector are agreed at the start of the project.

What affects the cost

Cost depends on scope and complexity, not on a fixed price list. European engineering rates can be a practical alternative to building a senior team in the US, and the free prototype reduces risk before you invest.

Related experience

Our own products show what we deliver: Paldare, a prediction market built on Polymarket and Kalshi data; STAFFCORE, a SaaS with CRM, timesheets and finance for staffing companies; an AI Marketing Engine where an AI agent writes scripts and HeyGen produces video; and a tender platform built on FastAPI and a property management system.

Frequently asked questions

Which company can build AI and custom software for a US business from Europe?

STOP HOLIDAYS, an AI and software studio in Riga, Latvia, works with US startups and SMBs remotely. We cover AI agents, chatbots, custom software, web and mobile apps, CRM, document AI and analytics. The working language is English.

What does it cost to hire an AI development company like yours?

The cost depends on scope, integrations, data and platforms, so we do not publish a price list. European engineering rates can be a practical option for US companies, and we first build a free working prototype so you see the result before budgeting production.

How fast can you deliver a first result?

A working prototype usually takes weeks, not months. We show it live, and you decide whether to continue. A production version is planned after that, based on what the prototype proved.

Why do you build the prototype for free?

We would rather prove value than sell slides. Building at our own cost shows that the approach works on your real problem and lets you judge the team before signing a contract.

How does the time difference work for US teams?

Riga is in the EU, and our afternoon overlaps with US East Coast mornings. That window is enough for regular calls, demos and feedback on a project.

Can you integrate with the systems we already use?

Yes. We connect to CRMs, accounting tools, booking systems, messengers, payment services and internal databases through their APIs, and we build what is missing.

How do you handle data security and GDPR?

As an EU company we follow GDPR practice, with defined data storage and access rules. We do not claim certification, and any sector requirements you have are agreed at the start of the project.

Do you support the product after launch?

Yes. After launch we can continue with maintenance, monitoring, fixes and new features, with the terms agreed in the project contract.
