Our Mission

Bridging research and production

The gap between what's possible in AI research and what's deployed in production is enormous. Our mission is to close that gap.

We believe the best AI systems come from deep understanding of both the technology and the problem domain. That's why we combine academic rigor with startup speed, reading the papers and shipping the code.

Our Roots

Pittsburgh heritage

Based in Pittsburgh, we're part of one of the world's great AI research communities. Our team includes engineers from Carnegie Mellon and experience at Google, Tesla, and Samsung.

This gives us a unique perspective: we understand both the frontier of research and the realities of enterprise deployment. We speak both languages fluently.

How We Work

Principles that guide our work

Research-Driven

Every solution we build is informed by the latest advances in machine learning research. We read the papers, run the experiments, and implement what works.

Production-First

Research without deployment is just a hobby. We engineer systems that work reliably at scale, with proper monitoring, fallbacks, and maintainability.

Problem-Focused

We don't push technology for technology's sake. We start with business problems and work backwards to the right technical solutions.

True Partnership

We work as an extension of your team, not as outsiders. Knowledge transfer and capability building are part of every engagement.
