Your AI belongs in production, not in a pilot

AI Labs is an AI development company in Bucharest, Romania. Our team of AI and software veterans has been shipping AI systems to production since 2013, years before ChatGPT: today that means generative AI, automation, and computer vision.

Why now

Most AI initiatives stall long before they pay off

A promising demo. A tool nobody opened again. A pilot that never touched real operations. The model is rarely the problem; the engineering around it is.

41% of Romanian companies have not integrated AI at all
14% are stuck at pilots, experiments, and one-off demos
50% lack clarity on AI governance ownership

Another 37% use AI only in scattered pockets rather than as a working system. Meanwhile the EU AI Act's AI-literacy obligations already apply. Standing still is now the expensive option.

What we build

AI development services: four ways we put AI to work

Every engagement ends in a working system in your environment, not a slide deck. Here is what we build.

Abstract generative AI visualisation

01 · GEN-AI

Generative AI and LLM development

Custom generative systems built on large language models, tuned to your content, your data, and your standards: text, media, and structured output produced at scale, with quality controls your team can trust.

Applications
Automated content generation, personalized marketing, adaptive design tools.
Benefits
Higher productivity, consistent quality, less manual work.

02 · CONV-AI

Conversational AI and RAG systems

Assistants and retrieval-augmented generation grounded in your own knowledge, so customers and employees get accurate answers from your documentation instead of confident guesses.

Applications
Customer support automation, interactive experiences, AI knowledge management.
Benefits
Stronger engagement, faster responses, higher satisfaction.

03 · AGENTS

AI agents and intelligent automation

Agents that take over multi-step work: reading, deciding, and acting across your existing tools, with human oversight exactly where you want it.

Applications
Automated customer interactions, workflow management, task automation.
Benefits
Cost savings, streamlined operations, higher efficiency.

04 · VISION

Computer vision systems

Real-time detection, recognition, and quality inspection, on the edge or in the cloud, turning the cameras and sensors you already have into operational data.

Applications
Security monitoring, inventory management, automated quality control.
Benefits
Greater accuracy, faster processing, less manual oversight.

About

Your AI development partner in Bucharest, Romania

Production is where most AI projects die: data, integration, evaluation, deployment, monitoring. Closing that gap is the whole job, and it is the job this studio was built to do.

AI Labs is a Bucharest studio founded and led by AI and software veterans. Since 2013 we have designed and shipped bespoke AI and machine learning systems in finance, healthcare, logistics, and retail, helping companies turn AI from a pilot into a working part of the business.

Approach

How we work

The same discipline on every project, whether it is a document assistant or an edge vision system.

Start from the problem

We begin with the decision, process, or system you need to change, not with a model in search of a use case. If AI is the wrong tool, we say so before you spend.

Build in your environment

Working software early, integrated with your data and tools, tested against your real cases. You see progress as running systems, not status reports.

Ship it and keep it running

Evaluation, monitoring, and MLOps from day one, so the system survives contact with production and your team can own it after we leave.

FAQ

Questions we hear before every project

What kinds of AI systems does AI Labs build?

Four kinds: generative AI built on large language models, conversational AI including RAG chatbots and assistants, AI agents that automate workflows, and computer vision. Under the hood that means enterprise LLM platforms, retrieval-augmented generation, edge AI, and the MLOps needed to run them in production.

How much does a custom AI project cost?

It depends on scope, data, and integration work, so we do not publish a rate card. Send us the problem you want solved and we will come back with a scoped proposal and a realistic estimate.

Where is AI Labs based, and do you work with teams outside Romania?

Yes. We are based in Bucharest, Romania, and work in English, on-site or remotely. Our systems have shipped in finance, healthcare, logistics, and retail.

Do you also offer AI strategy, governance, or training?

Our focus is building and shipping production systems. For AI strategy, EU AI Act governance, and team training we refer clients to AI Leaders Romania, the expert collective our founder is a member of. See their AI consulting and AI training services.

What happens after I send a message?

A practitioner reads it, not an automated pipeline. We reply within two business days, usually with a few clarifying questions and a proposed call to scope a first system.

Contact

Tell us what you are trying to solve

Describe the decision, process, or system you want AI to change. A practitioner reads every message and replies within two business days with an honest take on whether and how we would build it.

  1. Within two business days you get a reply from a practitioner, not an autoresponder.
  2. Then a short call to understand your process, data, and constraints.
  3. After that a clear recommendation on feasibility and next steps, whether or not you build with us.
