Ship AI features your customers actually depend on
Your competitors are shipping AI. Your board is asking about it. Your team is smart — but production AI is a different game. We've done it 150+ times.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
The AI features gap is real
"The demo worked great. Production didn't."
Every demo looks impressive in a Jupyter notebook. Then reality hits.
In production, every millisecond of latency matters. Your security team needs audit trails. Compliance requires explainability. The model that worked on 50 test cases falls apart at 50,000. Demo-grade AI and production-grade AI are completely different engineering problems.
"My team vibe-coded it. Now it can't ship."
Your engineers built a prototype in a weekend. It's been 4 months and it's still a prototype.
The proof-of-concept impressed the team. But it hallucinates, can't handle edge cases, has no evaluation pipeline, and nobody knows how to make it reliable at scale. Vibe coding gets you 80% of the way — the last 20% is the entire engineering challenge.
"We don't even know where to start."
The AI landscape changes every week. Your team is smart — but this isn't their domain.
You've always run your engineering teams a certain way and it's worked. But the world shifted underneath you. RAG, fine-tuning, agents, function calling, guardrails — the options are overwhelming and the wrong bet costs months. You need someone who's already navigated this for 150+ companies.
"Our competitors just shipped AI. We haven't."
75% of enterprise SaaS will embed AI by 2027. Your customers are already asking.
Your sales team is fielding AI questions in every deal. Feature parity is becoming table stakes. The window to differentiate is shrinking — you need to ship this quarter, not in 18 months.
WHAT WE BUILD FOR YOU
AI capabilities that ship inside your product
Document AI
Extract, classify, and verify from noisy scans and complex forms. We handle the document types your OCR can't.
Learn more →Agentic AI
In-product AI that completes real tasks for your users — not a chatbot demo. With guardrails, citations, and audit trails.
Learn more →Model Fine-Tuning & Custom Models
When prompting can't hit your accuracy bar, we fine-tune or build custom models on your data. Deployed to your infrastructure.
Learn more →WHY SOFTMAX?
Simply, we are of a different calibre
Softmax Data has been an AI engineering firm since 2019. When you're evaluating partners, here's why CTOs and VPs of Engineering choose us.
AI-only firm since 2019. 150+ production systems shipped.
We were building production ML pipelines before GPT-3 existed. We've shipped fine-tuned models, RAG systems, document AI, and agentic workflows at scale. Not a dev shop that pivoted to AI when it became trendy.
Engineers trained at MIT, Emory and alike
Our team comes from top-tier research programs and has deep expertise in NLP, computer vision, and systems engineering. They've published papers, contributed to open-source AI projects, and solved problems generic contractors won't even understand.
Battle-tested in regulated industries
Mortgage, banking, real estate, consulting, manufacturing. We live and breathe compliance frameworks: SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, MISMO. If your compliance team needs to sign off before anything ships, we've been through that process dozens of times.
You own 100% of the IP. Zero lock-in.
Every line of code, every model weight, every architecture decision is yours. Full documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer to your team. We build for handoff, not dependency.
We extend your team, we don't replace it
We join your repo, your Slack, your sprint cycles. Your engineers review every PR. North America based — we can be on-site for forward-deployed engineering the next day. No offshore black boxes.
Certified by the platforms that matter
AWS Certified Machine Learning Service Provider. Databricks Certified Partner. Google Certified TensorFlow Developer. These aren't badges we bought — they're proof our engineers pass the same bar your team does.
Risk-free entry: 5-day sprint, real prototype, no commitment
We build a working prototype with your real data in 5 days. You interact with it. If it doesn't validate the approach, you walk away with everything we built and owe us nothing further. No multi-month contracts required to start.

HOW IT WORKS
We integrate with your team, not replace it
We work inside your codebase, your Slack, your sprint cycles. Your team stays in the loop and owns the system when we're done.
Discovery call
30 minutes. We learn your problem, constraints, and timeline. No pitch deck.
Technical assessment
We review your codebase, data, and infrastructure. You get a feasibility report.
5-day design sprint
Working prototype with real data. You interact with it. Risk-free validation.
Production build
We work in your repo. Weekly demos. Your team reviews every PR.
Handover & support
Docs, training, runbooks. Your team runs it independently.
