Hiring Blueprint
Example Engagements
Legal AI
A venture-backed startup needed a system that could answer questions about legal cases.
Solution
We built an efficient language model that identifies and extracts relevant answers from large archives. The model improved recall and significantly reduced the latency for discovery, enabling scaling to databases of thousands of documents.
Government Funding Discovery
A venture-backed startup helping businesses apply for government funding opportunities wanted to automate funding search.
Solution
We built an AI-powered search engine that provides a superior experience to existing government provided search engines, and the feature became an effective lead magnet for the company.
Luxury Creative Tech
A venture-backed startup wanted an AI differentiator for designers and customers.
Solution
We built a 30B+ parameter model that turns customer ideas into precise manufacturable designs and set up a reinforcement-learning loop with domain experts to improve results over time.
