Voices
There's a reason people are raving about us.
"We have some of the best devs, but what we needed was somebody with a math background who could read papers, explain them in simple terms, and outline what it meant for our tech stack. Absolutely excellent!"
Luca SchmidtCTO @ Vaayu"The prototypes developed were a game-changer for closing our first sales. Customers could finally grasp what our product could do for them."
Viktor von EssenFounder & CEO @ Libra"We previously worked with another agency that couldn't get the job done. Palta Labs literally achieved in 3 weeks what they didn't achieve in 2 months."
Leonard HafnerHead of Ops @ Milano Vice"Dominique went above and beyond in recommending specific, cost-effective methods for preparing our data and training our models, and he built a tool for us to compare methods and we now finally have >90% accuracy."
Miishe AddieFounder & CEO @ Jetstream Africa"Our product was ready and we had closed our first customer earlier than expected. We needed an interface that connect with our model and database. The solution was ready in a four weeks, cheap, and had everything we needed."
David GorganFounder @ Nostos Genomics"We have a development team in-house, but a single person that doesn't only execute my ideas but understands what I really want was invaluable."
Andreas HelbigFormer principal @ Project AFrequently asked questions
We charge by the hour or by day depending on the project. We offer discounts for larger products if we think your problem is interesting. Our smallest project was 820€ and the largest 92.000€.
The answer of course varies on your requirements, but we generally aim for a working version within a day.
We're fastest with NextJS, Typescript, Python, Pytorch, Tensorflow, Supabase, GCP, AWS, Render, SQL, NoSQL and PostHog.
First, we will challenge you whether you really need AI or can solve your problem without it. We’ll also recommend tools you could use to solve your problem yourself. If are still interested in our services we’ll first define a minimal scope of a working product. This way you get to first results fast and can see what we ship. Then we define features to add for a full version.
We're based in Berlin, Germany, and yes we'll join you in person even if it means taking a flight. We believe in personal interaction.
You should be able to express what you want in business terms. That's all. Our experience has shown that it's best if you write down the context and details of the outcome in a Notion page or similar that you can share with us.
Palta Labs is taking a break
Consulting and freelancing were a means to earn enough money to start a product-based company. In early 2025, I achieved this goal and am no longer taking on new work. You can still reach out via email for any inquiries.
