AI software that actually fits your business

We build machine learning pipelines, natural language tools and computer vision systems for companies that need results, not buzzwords. Based in Scotland, working with clients across the UK and Europe.

Who we are

We started Core AI Expert in 2021 because too many businesses were paying for AI projects that never shipped. Our founding team had spent years building production ML systems at fintech and logistics companies, and we knew the gap between a promising prototype and a reliable product was where most projects died.

Today we are a team of twelve: five machine learning engineers, three backend developers, two data engineers, a product designer and a project lead. Everyone writes code. Nobody has "strategy" in their title.

We work from our office at 986 Tamara Row, Jakubowski-upon-Weissnat, JT77 7PA, Scotland, United Kingdom. Most of our client meetings happen over video, but we do on-site workshops for larger engagements.

What we build

Each engagement starts with your data and your problem. We pick the simplest model architecture that solves it, then engineer the infrastructure to keep it running.

Predictive analytics

Demand forecasting, churn prediction, pricing optimisation. We train models on your historical data and deploy them behind an API your existing systems can call. Typical accuracy improvements: 15 to 40 percent over rule-based baselines.

Natural language processing

Document classification, entity extraction, sentiment scoring and chatbot development. We fine-tune open-source language models on your domain vocabulary so they understand insurance claims, legal briefs or support tickets with high precision.

Computer vision

Quality inspection on production lines, medical image triage, document OCR. We handle labelling pipelines, model training and edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson or cloud GPU clusters depending on latency requirements.

Data engineering

Before a model can learn, data needs to be clean, joined and versioned. We build ETL pipelines with Apache Airflow or Prefect, set up feature stores and create monitoring dashboards so you know when data quality drifts.

MLOps and model management

Continuous training, A/B testing, canary deployments. We containerise models with Docker, orchestrate with Kubernetes and track experiments in MLflow. Retraining triggers fire automatically when performance drops below your threshold.

AI consulting and audits

Not sure if machine learning is the right tool? We run a two-week feasibility study: review your data, benchmark quick models, and deliver a written report with cost estimates and a go/no-go recommendation. No obligation to build with us afterwards.

How a project works

Most engagements follow four phases. Timelines vary, but a typical mid-size project from kick-off to production takes eight to fourteen weeks.

01

Discovery

We spend two to five days understanding your data sources, business constraints and success metrics. You get a written scope document and a fixed-price quote.

02

Prototyping

Our engineers build a minimal model in two to three weeks. You see real predictions on real data before committing to a full build.

03

Production build

We harden the model, write tests, set up CI/CD pipelines and integrate with your systems via REST API or event streams. Load testing included.

04

Support and iteration

After launch we monitor model performance, retrain on fresh data and ship improvements. Monthly reports show accuracy, latency and cost metrics.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the things clients ask most often during initial calls.

How much does a typical project cost?
A feasibility study starts at £3,500. Full production projects range from £15,000 to £120,000 depending on data complexity, model type and integration requirements. We always provide a fixed quote after the discovery phase so there are no surprises.
Do you work with companies outside the UK?
Yes. About a third of our clients are based in the EU. We handle contracts under English law by default, but we can work with your legal team on jurisdiction preferences. All meetings happen over video, and we overlap well with CET time zones.
What data do you need to get started?
For the discovery phase, a sample of your raw data is enough: CSV exports, database dumps or API access. We sign an NDA before receiving anything. If your data is messy or incomplete, that is fine; cleaning it up is part of what we do.
Can you deploy models on our own infrastructure?
Absolutely. We deploy on AWS, GCP, Azure or on-premise servers. If you have compliance requirements that prevent data from leaving your network, we can train and serve models entirely within your VPC or data centre.
Who owns the code and the trained models?
You do. All source code, model weights and documentation are delivered to you in a Git repository. We retain no proprietary claim on work produced under contract.
How do you handle data privacy and GDPR?
We process data under a signed Data Processing Agreement. Personal identifiers are pseudonymised before model training unless the task specifically requires them. We maintain records of processing activities and can support your DPO with impact assessments.
