NineTwoThree AI Studio

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the manager of engineering operations at sports-tech company. We deliver objective athletic performance data and analytics through a unique database and web portal, helping professional sports franchises make informed decisions on player development, acquisitions, and scouting.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire NineTwoThree AI Studio to accomplish for Stathletes?

We had a proof-of-concept large language model (LLM) product that we wanted to flesh out and set up for scale as a minimum viable product (MVP). We wanted to do it quickly.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Within three months, NineTwoThree AI Studio designed, built, and deployed a production-ready LLM chatbot that references our proprietary data and gives general responses to sports-related prompts. The responses had to be accurate, and we wanted documentation on how we could expand on the reference dataset and other features after delivery. We reformatted and delivered the reference data and scoped out the categories of prompts we were targeting — nontrivial work, but it made sense for us as SMEs to own that. NineTwoThree handled the design and development otherwise.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from NineTwoThree.

How did you come to work with NineTwoThree AI Studio?

We found them through an online search and the Clutch website. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings and specific experience in our industry.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October 2025–January 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They delivered on time and on target.

How did NineTwoThree AI Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They delivered on time and communication was clear throughout the project. We communicated via virtual meetings, emails, and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They had direct experience building similar products in our industry and were able to apply lessons from those projects to ours. We appreciated their transparency throughout the working engagement; trust was established early.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything I would have wanted to change.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Contently. We provide a content marketing SaaS platform and expert services, helping brands create, manage, and optimize content through strategy, technology, and a top-rated creative network.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with NineTwoThree AI Studio?

We needed help building an AI content creation platform for large enterprises.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

NineTwoThree AI Studio designed and built a full-stack web application for AI content creation for large enterprises based on an initial scope and customer feedback. The platform included standard features like authentication and the ability to pull in relevant customer information from an API using our existing platform. It also built up content briefs step by step and delivered three versions of content based on different LLMs. Additionally, there was an SEO agent, style agent, and fact-checking agent.

What is the team composition?

We worked with at least four teammates from NineTwoThree AI Studio.

How did you come to work with NineTwoThree AI Studio?

We found NineTwoThree AI Studio through ChatGPT. We specifically looked for an expert in getting companies into ChatGPT and delivering an AI copywriting product. We saw that NineTwoThree AI Studio had experience doing both.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with NineTwoThree AI Studio from October 2024–July 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Our experience with NineTwoThree AI Studio has been excellent. They’re very attentive and proactive about ensuring the right things are done. They push back correctly and work with our end users to gather feedback directly from them. We’ve enjoyed the experience very much.

The number of managing editors creating content with AI on our platform is one of the measurable outcomes of our project with NineTwoThree AI Studio. People are now publishing content produced directly from the platform. That’s a massive change in perspective vs when we first started.

How did NineTwoThree AI Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

NineTwoThree AI Studio has provided absolutely excellent project management, especially with Stephanie. We communicate via email, Slack, and Google Chat, with one to two calls per week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were most impressed with NineTwoThree AI Studio’s experience developing AI solutions for large enterprises. That experience has provided the perspective we require to get our work done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’ve already given them this feedback, but I think NineTwoThree AI Studio could find the right way to move towards an AI agile development process for clients that want it. POCs and mockups could be developed much faster and allow customers to test them within days rather than weeks or months. I understand that not every client would want to work that way, especially not many enterprise clients, but that’s my 2 cents.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

For the services we provide our clients we have implemented a repair order quality review. This review is manual and confirms that all information on a repair order is correct. This process is built to ensure that our customers are correctly invoiced.

We started with 923 to try to automate this process using AI. Most attributes of a repair order can be analyzed using if then logic but the technicians leave comments on the repair order that can also determine if the order is correct or not. Our original goal was to have 923 analyze the comments using AI to determine the correctness of the RO. 

We followed this path and gathered data trying to complete this task before realizing our scope was too narrow. The repair order quality team does not only review comments, parts, labor, tasks to determine correctness they review the entire RO. We then decided to expand our scope to review the entire RO with the goal of determining the correctness of the RO.

In an ideal world we would have had millions of historical data points for the team to review. This was not the case due to the structure of our data that presented challenges when trying to see historical changes for the 923 team to analyze. We worked on building this historical data in real time for them to analyze but this provided a relatively small sample size.

Even with this small sample size 923 delivered on the goal of analyzing the correctness of the RO. They would not only determine the correctness of the RO but provide a score of how confident the model was in the results. They then went a step further and worked on pointing out the exact error in the repair order and what the failure reason was. We continued to go through testing delivering on our next goal of providing not only that the RO was correct or incorrect but also pointing out where and what the errors were.

By this point in our project we had determined that there would be too much risk in completely replacing the repair order quality review team.  We shifted focus from replacing the repair order quality team to generating a message directly to the technician with the AI Models results. This solution, which was recommended by 923, eliminates this risk by displaying an error/quality check message to the tech that they could review or ignore. Instead of waiting until the last possible moment to check for correctness we are getting the root cause of the issue. The final deliverable was to create an API that could take the details of the Repair Order and deliver a score with error reasons for the repair order. This final piece was delivered by the 923 team.

The 923 team was fantastic to work with and taught me a lot about ML and AI. The team was patient while we worked through solutions to help them and always delivered on time. This was our first step into AI/ML and we have learned a lot to set us up in the future. Our biggest issue that 923 was able to overcome was data. We did not have the historical records to be able to supply for the model learning. Even with a small data set 923 was able to deliver great results. Rather than just taking our requirements and building something they took the time to learn our internal processes and make suggestions on how we could implement the solutions theyve developed. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Determine the models accuracy - overall the model was around 75-80% accurate when comparing the models predictions to what the repair order quality team actually did.

Accuracy by cost - the model was able to determine the correct result with a high level on confidence on RO's with the a cost less than $500. Our biggest risk when replacing the repair order quality team is invoicing the customer the incorrect amount which results in either over charging the customer or under billing them and missing out on revenue. The 923 was able to demonstrate the accuracy in costs buckets and the possible dollar risk with each bucket. While we did not move forward with replacing the quality team this has set the framework to review orders at certain cost thresholds to reduce risk but still have a significant impact.

Model score - the model will generate a score for 100% of the RO's that are passed through. With this score we are able to determine if we should display the message to the end user or leave it alone. If the model is not confident in the results then we can choose not to display the result.

Failure reasons - Providing not only the score of the RO and if it was a failure but stating where the error occured and why it was generating. The 923 delivers this on every RO that is passed through to them. Comparing with notes left by the quality team we have achieved an almost exact match and caught errors they have missed. By producing these failure reasons this is a significant feature when generating the quality check message to technicians. Rather than simply stating something is wrong, double check your work (which they would likely ignore) we are able to generate a check that say X thing is wrong with this section of the order. 

Quality check API - By developing this API we now have a mechanism to get results from the model and share them with the end user. In our case this will be when the technician completes a job we will pass the order details to the API to return the score and results. Implementing this mechanism will have a siginificant impact on the overall quality of the RO's because we are implementing a check at the source. In our current state when a technician completes an RO it can take the quality team 6-8+ hours to review the order. This check is now happening in seconds while the work is still fresh in the technicians mind. If the quality team finds an error they will flag it and send back to the technician who will correct, which can take an additional 4-6 hours. With this check happening at the time of completion we should see an overall decrease in time spent reviewing orders by the quality team, time to detect errors, and reduce time needed to complete and invoice the customer.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The 923 team always met timelines for deliverables and quickly responded to my teams needs. Because they took the time to get to know our business and learn our process they were not only able to adjust to changes in scope but were also able to recommend ways to implement solutions. 

They set up our weekly touchpoints and were always available to schedule additional time as needed. They shared constant updates on the progress and results of their work. One of my favorite things about them was their ability to share the results of their work in a clear way that could be understood even if you are unfamiliar with AI/ML. This was my teams first time working with AI/ML and they were able to eliminate any confusion we had on the process/results which can be very complex.

The team always escalated potential blockers early on the process to give my team time to action. If we were delayed in actioning these blockers they continued to work and provided creative short term solutions while our plan was implemented. I greatly appreciate their commitment to the project and the way they were able to adjust on the fly when needed to deliver the best product.  They are committed to providing the best experience to their customers and have always delivered on time.

What was your primary form of communication with NineTwoThree?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their ability to learn about our business and understand our goal was truly impressive. Going from knowing nothing about a company and the way they work to delivering the results they did was impressive. 

As I have mentioned this was our first time working with AI/ML so we really didnt know what was needed or what to expect. This was epsecially true in how our data was structured. What I found to be unique about 923 was their willingness to work with us while we built our historical data. It started with manual data queries and uploading to a shared filed before automating this process. Even during the early days of the project they were able to deliver fantastic results and learn more about our business. Because of the process we implemented with 923 we have set ourselves for future work in the AI space.

The final thing I was impressed with is their communication and ability to summarize results. We were constantly updated on their progress. They were able to provide great detail on how they acheived the results without causing confusion and answered any questions we had clearly. The AI/ML world an be overwhelming and complex but when talking through it with them I felt I had all the information necessary to make a decision and provide direction.

Are there any areas for improvement or something NineTwoThree could have done differently?

No the only problem we faced during our project was data. Mainly that we had not set up our data to track historical changes over time making it difficult to analyze. We have learned so much from this team and our currently working on projects to improve our data for future work with AI. Would love to work with this team again.

Are there any areas for improvement or something NineTwoThree could have done differently?

On at least one occasion, responsibilities were rotated among engineering team members and some knowledge/context was lost. I wish 923 had spent more time on careful knowledge transfer when team members swapped responsibilities.

Collaboration with our DevOps org proved challenging at times (most of this was on us). It's a team that likes to do things its own way, not always the best way. 923 came in with different (and probably better) ideas for setting up the right environments -- which ended up clashing with the internal team's preferences. Though I know 923 was probably right, these decisions were outside of the scope of the project and I wish they had been able to conform to the internal group's preferences sooner.

NineTwoThree's specialists are excellent communicators. They have many procedures for their Monday.com Boards and Slack cadence. However, there must be a way for agencies to have one system in the future - maybe if you are reading this - ask them to build that too - because I am sure it will be A+

Be very clear with certain words in the SOW. There were a couple of items in the Project Scope that were interpreted differently by each party. I would also recommend putting more emphasis on your QA Team as I found many bugs that should not have been there. The first version of the app that was presented had many problems with basic functionalities. I had to spend a lot of time going through all the minor details of the app to make sure that simple features were working.
