// AI consultancy · Production systems
We ship production AI.
Not slide decks.
A decade of shipping software. 190+ clients. 260+ products. 800K+ daily users served. Now turning AI pilots into production systems — LLM pipelines, RAG, autonomous agents.
// Trusted by 190+ teams
The teams we ship with.
Ten years of engineering across SaaS, fintech, edtech, climate, and enterprise.
// What we do
Four ways we turn AI into working software.
AI Strategy Consulting
Strategy that ships.
Discovery, roadmaps, and opportunity sizing that translate AI ambition into a delivery plan your team can actually execute.
ExploreLLM & RAG Implementation
Grounded. Cited. Fast.
Production-grade retrieval pipelines, evals, and LLM integrations that keep answers tethered to your data.
ExploreAI Agents
Agents that do work.
Tool-using, plan-then-act agents wired into your stack — with guardrails, observability, and clear human handoffs.
ExploreAI Product Engineering
Pilot to product.
Full-stack teams that take your AI pilot across the finish line: UX, infra, observability, and a launch plan.
Explore// How we work
The seven-stage Ankor framework.
One repeatable path from ambition to production. Each stage has its own exit criteria; no one ships on vibes.
-
01 Discover
Workshops, stakeholder interviews, data audits to map opportunity and risk.
-
02 Define
Problem statements, success metrics, guardrails — the contract for what ships.
-
03 Design
UX, system design, and prompt/agent architecture before a line of code lands.
-
04 Data
Source, curate, and instrument the data your model will actually rely on.
-
05 Develop
Iterative builds with evals in the loop — not demos, working software.
-
06 Deploy
Secure rollouts, observability, and guardrails wired into production.
-
07 Drive
Measure, learn, and compound outcomes after launch — we stay for the results.

// Voices
Words from the engine room.
Anonymised because most of our work is under NDA. Roles and company stages are real.
“Ankor was the first partner that actually shipped our AI pilot into production. Three months, not three quarters.”
// Questions
Things buyers always ask.
01 How do you price engagements?
We price by scope and team composition, not by the hour. Typical engagements start with a fixed-fee discovery sprint (2–3 weeks) followed by a time-and-materials or milestone-based build. Retainers are available for teams we already know.
02 What engagement types do you offer?
Three main shapes: (1) short AI strategy and readiness sprints, (2) full AI product builds from pilot to production, and (3) embedded AI pods that plug into your existing engineering org. All three include evals, guardrails, and observability as first-class concerns.
03 How long does a typical project take?
Strategy sprints land in 2–3 weeks. A production-grade RAG or agent system is usually 8–16 weeks from kickoff to first live cohort. We break every build into two-week milestones with working software at each checkpoint — no twelve-week black boxes.
04 Who will I actually work with?
A small, senior team: one tech lead, two to four engineers, and a product partner. No offshored juniors you have never met. The same humans are in your Slack on week one and week twelve.
05 How do you handle data privacy and IP?
You own the code, the prompts, the evals, and the data artefacts we produce. We work inside your cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and your VPCs when you need it. NDAs up front. We never train third-party models on your data.
06 Where are your clients based?
All over — the majority are in the US, UK, Europe, and Singapore, with a growing APAC book. Our team spans overlapping hours with both the Americas and APAC. We have shipped for clients across more than a dozen countries and ten-plus industries.
