Comparison
Nerai vs a typical AI agency
Plenty of AI agencies are excellent. A lot are not. Here is the honest difference in how we work.
| Nerai | Typical AI agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you talk to | The engineer who builds it | An account manager |
| What you get | Production systems | Decks and demos |
| AI honesty | We say when AI is the wrong tool | AI on everything |
| Ownership | You own the code and infra | Often their platform |
| Evaluation & guardrails | Built in | Often skipped |
| Pricing | Project, no overhead | Higher, plus overhead |
The honest version
Some agencies do real, excellent work, and at scale a big agency can field a whole bench you simply cannot. But a lot of "AI agencies" sell the buzzword, ship a demo that breaks on the first edge case, and hand you a bill plus a lock-in. We would rather scope tightly, ship something that holds, and tell you when not to use AI at all.
If you need a large multidisciplinary bench, an agency may fit. If you want senior engineering that ships and is honest, that is us.
