After many long hours deliberating whether you need AI — having convinced your board, team, and every stakeholder under the sun that AI ‘just makes sense,’ you’ll feel like you’ve won the lottery.
But now comes another big decision. You need to find a partner capable of building the kind of AI you’ve promised your company. And since 85% of AI and machine learning projects fail to deliver expected results, this is no easy task.
That said, if you know where to find teams specialized in building custom AI, you’re 90% of the way there, and this is somewhere we can help. We know some excellent people working with artificial intelligence, and we’ve listed the best of them right here.
All you have to do is find the team that best matches your business.
(And to make your life that bit easier, we’ve even included the Clutch ratings – where possible – giving you an impartial overview of each company).
