Artificial Intelligence on the Edge

Optimization, edge AI, computer vision, and LLM automation for real-world constraints.

We are a high-end AI and optimization studio for B2B and B2B2B teams, delivering tailored AI for complex, non-standard problems. With 12+ years of experience in applied research and delivery, we build scientifically rigorous proof-of-concepts and production systems that solve problems off-the-shelf tools cannot.

  • Clinical decision support cutting review time by 25%.
How we work

How we work

  1. Discovery: align on objectives, constraints, and data.
  2. Scientific PoC: validate feasibility and impact.
  3. Production: deploy end-to-end from hardware to UI.

Next step: a 30-minute tech triage with a lead engineer.

Versus in-house

Avoid long hiring cycles. Start immediately with senior research engineers.

Versus big consultancies

Faster iteration, tighter feedback loops, and deeper technical ownership.

Versus freelancers

Full-stack delivery from hardware to model to UI with accountability.

Technical resources

Ask for technical briefs on stochastic optimization, edge inference, and custom CV or LLM pipelines.

We routinely deploy to constrained devices (latency, memory, and power budgets considered from day one).

FAQ

How long does a PoC take?

Most PoCs run 4-6 weeks depending on data readiness and scope.

What do you need to start?

A clear objective, sample data, and access to domain experts.

What if the PoC fails?

We use milestone-based billing and go/no-go checkpoints to limit risk.
