Generative AI expertise for startups
Datakami is a software engineering company specialized in generative AI. We work with startups that have generative AI at the core of their product. We advise and build things that work: LLM pipelines, agents, evals, deployed open-weights models. When your team hits a technical problem it can't crack, our specialists embed with your engineers and break through it.

Our services
Our core service is the team embedding: our specialists join your team a few days per week to solve hard generative AI problems. For teams earlier in their AI journey, we offer lighter options such as whiteboard sessions, talks and workshops, and advisory retainers.
Strategy
We'll help you:
- Sketch out what's possible for your product in a whiteboard session
- Select the right models, datasets, and tools for your needs
- Navigate the fast-moving AI landscape
- Upskill your team with talks and workshops
- Support your technical hiring efforts
Engineering
We offer hands-on expertise in:
- Building LLM evals and observability, so you know what your AI systems are actually doing
- Optimizing LLM pipelines for quality, speed, and cost
- Designing custom benchmarks and datasets
- Fine-tuning models and deploying open-source models to production
- Safely shipping customer-facing AI applications
