Sound familiar?

You Want AI in Your Business. You Just Need the Right Partner.

Your team is stretched thin and AI is not their expertise

You have great engineers, but they are busy shipping features. Learning LLMs, vector databases, and prompt engineering from scratch would take months you do not have.

AI agencies quoted you $200K and 6 months

You got proposals with vague scopes, hourly billing, and timelines that would make your board lose patience. You need fixed pricing and delivery in weeks, not quarters.

Your ChatGPT prototype worked in a demo but broke in production

The API wrapper your team built hallucinated, had no error handling, and could not scale. You need production-grade AI with monitoring, guardrails, and real engineering behind it.

You need to show AI progress to your leadership but do not know where to start

The board wants an AI strategy. Your competitors are shipping AI features. You need a clear roadmap and a quick win to build momentum, not another strategy deck.

We built Salt Technologies AI to solve exactly this.

Productized AI packages with fixed pricing, defined timelines, and a team of 100+ engineers who have shipped 800+ projects. Start as small as $3,000 and scale from there.

Why companies choose us

What You Get That Others Do Not Offer

Most AI agencies sell hours and hope. Here is how we are different.

AI agencies give you a vague proposal after 3 weeks of back-and-forth.

You get a fixed-scope quote in days.

Every package has published pricing. Your proposal includes deliverables, timeline, tech stack, and a firm price. No hourly billing, no scope creep. You approve the number before work begins.

Freelancers build demos that break in production.

You get production-grade AI systems.

Every deployment includes error handling, monitoring, guardrails, fallback logic, and documentation. We do not hand you a Jupyter notebook and wish you luck. ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certified engineering processes.

Staff augmentation gives you people to manage.

You get outcomes to review.

We are not a body shop. You tell us what you need built. We run the sprints, handle code reviews, manage QA, and deliver working software every 2 weeks. You focus on your product, not managing our team.

Consultancies lock you into their platform.

You own 100% of the code.

We deploy to YOUR infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-prem). All source code, documentation, and models are yours. No proprietary wrappers, no vendor lock-in. Walk away anytime with everything we built.
