How We Support Your AI Initiatives

We operate within a focused set of senior AI disciplines — not a broad catalog of IT services. Select a practice area to explore the talent we deliver.

Traditional ML

Models that learn from your historical data to predict, classify, and optimize — the proven backbone of enterprise AI, ideal for structured data and measurable outcomes.

Predictive Analytics & Forecasting
Anticipate demand, risk, and trends
Algorithm Development
Decision trees, neural nets, SVM, random forest
Model Optimization & Tuning
Hyperparameter tuning and validation
Classification & Recommendation Engines
Segment, score, and personalize
Optimization & Operations Research
Network, pricing, and resource optimization
Data Mining & Feature Engineering
Turning raw data into model-ready signal
Data that powers it: feature engineering, data-quality controls, and pipelines that turn raw history into model-ready signal.

Generative AI

Systems that create content, code, and answers, built on large language models and tuned to your domain, your data, and your security requirements.

LLM Integration & Fine-Tuning
Domain-adapted large language models
Private / In-House GenAI
Secure deployment behind your firewall
Computer Vision & Multimodal
Image, document, and video intelligence
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
Grounding models in your own knowledge
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Summarization, classification, extraction
Conversational AI & Chatbots
Customer- and employee-facing assistants
Data that powers it: knowledge-base construction, vector stores, and governance that keep private GenAI grounded and secure.

Agentic AI

Autonomous systems that don’t just generate — they act. Agents plan, sequence, and execute multi-step workflows across your tools, with human oversight built in.

AI Agent Design & Orchestration
Goal-driven, multi-agent systems
Tools & API Integration
Connecting agents to your stack
Agent Monitoring & Governance
Provenance logging and tool-access control
Multi-Step Workflow Automation
Sequenced execution across systems
Intelligent Process Automation
Beyond rules-based RPA
Human-in-the-Loop Controls
Approval thresholds and guardrails
Data that powers it: tool and data integration, lineage, and provenance logging that keep agents observable and accountable.

Results that Move Business

Real ALKU AI engagements, and the measurable value they delivered.

Commercial AI Transformation

Global Manufacturing Enterprise

120,000+ employees · $125B+ revenue

Lacking the internal expertise to align AI with business goals, the client engaged an ALKU team — an AI Engagement Leader, Operations Research Scientist, AI Strategy Consultant, and Analytics Program Manager — to identify high-value use cases and guide execution from MVP to enterprise scale.

$2M+ annual value from a network optimization model
$5–10M transformation approved via executive buy-in

ML-First Product Launch

Water Infrastructure Operations Firm

3,200 employees

To launch a first-of-its-kind, cloud-native industrial control system, ALKU delivered an AI/ML Advisor to re-scope the project, then stood up an ML Engineer and Data Scientist who built the product infrastructure in two months — followed by an AI Product Manager and two UX Designers.

$1.5M in savings vs. budget
75% under budget after re-scope

Research & Drug Discovery

Biotechnology Company

Age-related disease & neurodegeneration

ALKU assembled a cross-functional team — specialists in biostatistics, bioinformatics, real-world data, data science, and data architecture — to build scalable data pipelines, statistical models, and evidence-generation frameworks using RWD, RWE, and machine learning.
