Your engineering team for vertical AI.
We partner with operator-founders building AI products in their industry. Dedicated team, 7+ years shipping production AI — agents, voice, ranking, ML. Not prototypes that die in the demo.
Production systems, not slide decks.
Production AI agents
Multi-step agents with tools, memory, and evals — running 24/7 with real users.
Voice AI
Real-time voice agents on Twilio. Calls that handle real workflows, not script demos.
Ranking, matching & retrieval
Hybrid search, fine-tuned embeddings, re-ranking, eval — when "just call OpenAI" isn't enough.
Custom ML, incl. fine-tuning
When LLM APIs don't fit: fine-tuning, classifiers, computer vision, predictive models.
What clients actually say.
BroutonLab team helped me automate our workflow with their AI development skills, and it sped up the rate at which we process our customers' requests. Getting started with them was easy, and the results were outstanding.
Michael's developers are amazingly capable and precise — they translated my hierarchical Bayesian MCMC code from R/C++ into CUDA, speeding up computation by two orders of magnitude on nVidia GPUs.
BroutonLab developed a PyTorch backend for non-standard number formats, collaborating closely with our compiler researchers. Highly recommended for complex, research-driven projects.
Besides his amazing personality, lots of patience and managing timelines well. An extremely trustworthy and talented engineer with a treasure trove of experience. I'd recommend him without hesitation.
I highly recommend BroutonLab for filling any AI/ML or SWE staffing gaps. They've consistently delivered exceptional ML and software engineering — depth of knowledge in AI models that aligns to business objectives.
I highly recommend Michael for his outstanding contributions as a data scientist and business partner. His exceptional vision and ability to grasp intricate details have made a significant impact on our team's success.
Dedicated team. Not fixed-bid.
12 to 24 month engagements. Usually 3 to 8 engineers, dedicated.
Engagements typically start at $15K/month and scale with team size. We don't do fixed-bid project work — vertical AI products take iteration, not handoff.
We're probably not your team if:
- You need a fixed-bid project under $50K — vertical AI needs iteration, not a handoff.
- You want a foundation model trained from scratch — that's research-lab territory.
- You're an enterprise running a 6-month RFP process — we don't have a sales team for that.
- You need staff augmentation — rent-an-engineer model. We're a team, not a marketplace.
If you recognize yourself here, we'd rather say so now than waste your time on a call. Happy to point you toward people who specialize in any of these.
