I’ve been running a small e-commerce store for about two years now and I want to add an AI-powered product recommendation feature. The problem is I don’t have an in-house dev team — it’s basically me and a freelance designer. I looked into hiring a full-time machine learning engineer but the salary expectations are way beyond my budget.
So I started looking at outsourcing. Went through Clutch, read a bunch of G2 reviews, asked around on LinkedIn. Honestly it was exhausting — so many companies, hard to tell who actually has real AI project experience and who’s just putting buzzwords on their website.
A friend of mine who runs a fintech startup told me he used https://skypeek.co/ai-development to narrow down his options. He said it matched him with a few agencies that had verified case studies in his niche, which saved him a lot of back-and-forth. I’m thinking of trying it myself but wanted to hear if anyone else went through a similar search. How did you pick your dev partner for something like this?
