# Modelshifts

Senior AI leadership, without the full-time hire.

We help product teams decide what to build with AI, and then build it properly.

## Two ways to work with us

### 01 Fractional AI Head

An AI lead for your team, a few hours a week, by the month.

- Set the architecture before the team commits to it.
- Review what is already being built.
- Hire AI engineers: define the role, run the technical screen.
- Assess vendors and outsourcing proposals before you sign.

How it works: a 30-minute call, then a monthly scope agreed in writing.

### 02 AI Implementation

From idea to a system your team can run.

- A working prototype in weeks.
- An assistant that answers from your own documents (retrieval-augmented generation, RAG).
- An agent that handles a defined part of a job.
- Computer vision and speech features.
- Getting a stalled demo into production.

How it works: a short, fixed-price assessment first, then design, build and hand over, with code, evaluation and documentation.

## What we've built

- Documents: RAG, extraction, translation
- Code: code LLMs, coding assistants
- Vision: defect inspection, 3D perception, drone inspection
- Speech: speech synthesis, digital humans
- Data: LLM fine-tuning for risk, quant research
- Robotics: physical intelligence, exoskeletons

## Have an AI question on the table?

A hire to judge, a vendor proposal to check, a prototype that won't ship, or an idea that needs a plan. Bring it to a 30-minute call.
