Choosing Hal9 means partnering with a team that takes your AI vision and turns it into a working, scalable, AI-powered reality without the hassle of building an AI team from scratch.

With startup-friendly pricing, full ownership of your IP and data, and the expertise to scale as you grow, Hal9 is your shortcut to launching fast and succeeding.
How It Works
Design, Build, Refine, Maintain, Scale
1. Prototype
We Craft Your Vision into a Focused MVP
During our first kickoff session, our team works with you to refine your idea, narrowing the scope to focus on the core experience and outcomes that will deliver maximum value to your customers. Once the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is defined, our experts get to work building a functional prototype in days, not months.
2. Launch
We Turn Concepts into Reality with AI and Code
We iterate weekly, incorporating your feedback and user insights to transform the prototype into a polished MVP and eventually an AI solution that looks, feels, and performs like a market leader. This collaborative process keeps you in control while we handle the technical details. We host and manage your solution, ensuring it runs smoothly 24/7.
3. Scale
Growing Together as Long Term Partners
As your startup grows, Hal9 scales with you. We provide the compute power and expertise to handle increased demand. Our dedicated team monitors and provides ongoing support that lets you focus on growing your business and our engagement with transparent pricing that scales with usage.
Our Platform
AI Platform for AI Startups
The Hal9 Platform allows us to create the most advanced AI solutions, starting with chatbots, to services, apps, and even hardware. It is purpose-built for generative AI, private, model-agnostic, fully customizable with Python, and deployable from GitHub.
Built for Generative AI
Create solutions from prompts, craft the right prompts with us, and watch your first demo come to life in seconds.
Private and Secure
Our platform can run in any cloud or on your own data centers, and your content can run securely in isolated runtimes powered by Kubernetes.
Model Agnostic
Large Language Models are evolving rapidly, and we support all of them with proper token management and auditing.
Customizable with Python
Building complex solutions requires changing code, which is why everything we do is powered by Python code and the best open-source libraries.
What We Can Create
Anything from Chatbots to Chrome Extensions and Cutting-Edge Hardware
AI Assistants
State-of-the-art LLMs have revolutionized the meaning of the term "chatbot". We can help you make custom AI Assistants with secure access to specific knowledge bases and embed them into your website, app or software product. For example, AskCourtCases is an AI-powered legal research tool that transforms how attorneys access federal and state court case information. Unlike PACER’s document-only approach, it provides instant, precise answers to case-specific questions with referenced sources.
AI Agents
We can help you automate your workflows leveraging AI where it provides the most value. We´ve developed agents explosed as APIs that generate advanced reports, audits and file processing. For example, our case studies with Propio and Greenny explain how Hal9 can automate financial reporting and carbon footprint audits that are performed in seconds and not weeks.
AI Apps
Either in Web or Mobile environments, quite often users need to interact with a custom UI that serves as the interface with AI. An example of this is the Reply Chrome Extension that delivers fast, AI-crafted replies to messages on any platform. Powered by Hal9’s fully managed AI backend via a robust API, the custom-built Chrome Extension frontend ensures seamless interactions within the web browser.
AI Hardware
The next AI frontier lies in leveraging real-world sensor data and the potential to act in physical mediums. For example, Pixsso is an open-source E-paper display that showcases AI-generated content. Powered by Hal9´s AI backend via API, it creates dynamic, context-aware visual using custom data, like weather or news.
AI Research
Some projects require a traditional AI approach where we can help you train your own AI model based on specific data from your use-case. These custom models can be used to find patterns in data of multiple sources like audio, images, video, financial transactions, etc. See our case studies with Ferrero, Limber Health and Dvlop.

I'm an early stage startup, any chance we can work together?
If you are pre-revenue and are not funded, talk to us. We were early-stage founders at some point and love helping other founders. We have a plan with less engagement time and fewer compute resources.
