Yes, certain parts of our product are indeed just lightweight wrappers around an LLM. What you're paying for is the 99% of the other stuff that's (1) either extremely hard to do (and probably non-obvious) (2) an endless supply of "routine" work that still takes time (3) an SLA/support that's more than "random dev isn't on PTO"

Why do they have an internal engineering org at all if they can't manage the most basic maintenance of a software product?

Is that a bluff used to negotiate the price?
