The problem

Why AI pilots stall.

Most AI projects stop before production, and the main reason is missing AI skills.

Companies have AI plans and pilots, but not the engineers to take them to production.

Who it is for

You have AI plans, but not the engineers to deliver them.

Your AI pilot never went live

It works in a demo, but nobody has the time or the skills to take it to production.

You cannot hire AI engineers

Senior AI engineers are hard to find, and hiring one takes months.

Your developers are busy

The product roadmap comes first, so AI work keeps getting pushed back.

You need results in months

Not a long programme, but working AI in production this year.

Typical customers
  • Software and digital companies
  • Banks, insurers and payment firms
  • Mid-size companies with stalled AI pilots

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Have another question? Get in touch and we will answer it on the fit check call.

How quickly can the engineer start?

The engineer is onboarded about four weeks after the contract is signed. Before that, we propose a named engineer and you meet them.

How long is the engagement?

The minimum term is six months. That is enough time to take several AI ideas from your list to production and to hand them over to your team.

Who decides what the engineer works on?

You do. Your developers and business experts set the priorities, starting with a ranked list of AI ideas in the start week. Every month we review the results and the priorities together.

Who owns what the engineer builds?

You do. The code, the tests and the documentation are yours, and your employees learn to run and extend the solutions while working next to our engineer.

What if a project needs more than one engineer?

Our other AI experts step in when a project needs them. If you need more capacity all the time, we can add a second engineer or an AI architect to your team.

How many days a month does the engineer work with us?

About 10 days a month in FDE Part-time and about 20 days a month in FDE Full-time.
