Frequently asked questions
Answers about AI agents, timelines, pricing, industries, and how we work with clients in Nepal and internationally.
What is an AI agent and how is it different from a chatbot?
A chatbot mainly answers questions. An AI agent can understand goals, plan steps, use tools like CRMs or calendars, and take actions autonomously to complete a business outcome.
What does Baliyo Technologies build?
We build AI agents, custom software, e-commerce/marketplace platforms, enterprise CRM/ERP systems, technical SEO foundations, and dedicated engineering teams from Kathmandu, Nepal.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. A large share of our client base is outside Nepal, including humanitarian, education, travel, and commerce organizations. We collaborate across time zones with clear documentation and sprint cadence.
What is your typical project timeline?
A standard custom web application takes 8–12 weeks. A Minimum Viable AI Agent typically ships in 4–8 weeks. Enterprise platforms usually run 3–6 months depending on complexity.
How much does a project cost?
Pricing depends on scope. We offer project-based delivery, dedicated teams, and staff augmentation with transparent starting ranges on our pricing page. Most engagements begin with a scoped discovery call.
Can you redesign or improve an existing website?
Yes. We audit performance, SEO, UX, and codebase quality first, then rebuild or iteratively improve — as we have for travel, education, and e-commerce brands.
Do you build e-commerce and marketplace platforms?
Yes. We engineer brand storefronts and marketplace infrastructure, including products like Nepdora and client platforms such as Rugkala and Yachu Nepal.
Can AI agents work on WhatsApp or Viber in Nepal?
Yes. Our agents can integrate with WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, and your website, then connect to CRM, booking, or internal tools as needed.
Do you provide post-launch support?
Absolutely. We offer SLA tiers including monitoring, security updates, feature iteration, and infrastructure management.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We perform a technical audit first to assess code quality, security, and scalability, then propose a refactoring or feature expansion roadmap.
Which industries do you serve?
Travel & tourism, e-commerce, education, service businesses, finance, hospitality, construction, telecom, and public-sector information systems. Healthcare is not a core vertical for us.
Where is Baliyo Technologies located?
We are headquartered in Lalitpur / Kathmandu, Nepal, and serve clients locally and internationally.
How much does an AI agent cost in Nepal?
Costs vary based on complexity and integrations. Simple FAQ agents start lower, while complex autonomous agents integrated with your ERP/CRM require a larger investment. We provide transparent, phase-based pricing.
How long does it take to build an AI agent?
A Minimum Viable Agent (MVA) can typically be deployed within 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your data readiness and required integrations.
Can AI agents work with WhatsApp/Viber/Messenger in Nepal?
Yes, our AI agents can be seamlessly integrated into popular messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Viber, and Messenger, as well as your website.
Why choose custom software over off-the-shelf solutions?
Custom software is built specifically for your unique business processes, providing a competitive advantage and avoiding the recurring license fees and rigid constraints of generic software.
How long does a typical custom software project take?
Timeline varies based on complexity, but most initial versions (MVP) are delivered within 8 to 16 weeks using our agile methodology.
How long does it take to see results from SEO?
Technical SEO improvements can often show results within weeks, while overall ranking growth typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent effort.
What is Programmatic SEO?
It's a method of using code to create large numbers of high-quality pages at scale, allowing you to target thousands of specific search queries without manual effort.
Can you integrate with our existing tools?
Yes, we can build custom connectors to integrate your new ERP/CRM with existing tools like Slack, Email, or external payment gateways.
Is training provided for our staff?
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive training sessions and documentation to ensure your team is proficient in using the new system.
Why choose Nepal over other outsourcing destinations?
Nepal offers a unique 'sweet spot' of high technical proficiency, strong English skills, and lower attrition rates compared to larger hubs, making it an ideal long-term engineering partner.
How do you ensure the quality of work from an offshore team?
We follow international coding standards, conduct regular peer reviews, and implement automated testing. Our senior architects oversee every project to ensure technical excellence.
Can our offshore team work in our time zone?
Yes, we offer flexible shift patterns that allow for significant overlap (typically 4-6 hours) with European and North American time zones for real-time collaboration.
How do we start hiring a team?
The process starts with a technical consultation, followed by candidate shortlisting and client interviews. Once you select your team, we handle all onboarding and setup.
