Our verdict
Neoteric is a small, senior team in Gdańsk, Poland, that builds generative AI products and the web applications around them, from a customer engagement platform built in eight months to a GPT-4 chatbot for the fitness startup Spren. Outside listings put it at about $50 to $99 an hour, level with Miquido and Monterail. It suits a startup or product company that wants a senior team to build a generative AI product from scratch, and it is less suited to a buyer who needs a large team or a regulated enterprise rollout.
The right buyer
- Companies building a generative AI software product from scratch. Neoteric designed and built a generative AI customer engagement platform with full tenancy isolation in eight months (case study).
- Startups whose chatbot gives weak answers. For Spren, a North Carolina fitness technology startup, it rebuilt a GPT-4 chatbot with Pinecone, LangChain, and embeddings and reports a 1900% performance gain (case study).
- Health startups that need a machine learning-ready first version. It built the early platform for a depression diagnosis startup (case study).
- Buyers who want mostly senior engineers. Neoteric says more than 90% of its team is senior (about page).
Reasons to look elsewhere
- Buyers on a tight budget can find lower rates. Outside listings put it at about $50 to $99 an hour, against about $25 to $49 at Uptech and Intuz (GoodFirms profile).
- The team is about 50 people, down from more than 100 in 2021, so it can staff only a few large projects at once (about page; Marketing i Biznes interview).
- Several of its AI cases are for early-stage startups, and few report enterprise-scale results.
- It lists no cloud or model vendor partnerships.
