The UI must be friendly and simple on mobile phones and must have a leader board gamification aspect. Payment must be integrated on the app itself and all this should be launched and tested. The project also had a admin backend for vendors that was integrated to the mobile app processes.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

App was developed, deployed and tested. We have a working MVP now.

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

They did deliver on time. They assigned team members to the project as per task requirements and always responded prompty and professionally. They set up meetings to discuss updates for each milestone and took feedback well.

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

They were eager to learn, correct their mistakes and were always trying to impress and deliver a quality version. They went above and beyond in desiging a new logo for our MVP even when that was not in the original agreement. They valued the quality of the work they were trying to deliver. Everyone communicated on time and with great respect.

If looking for a budget app development and deployment provider, while being hands off to focus on other things, they are the best. They do quality service on a budget and are very professional about it. I have recommended them to few other startup founders

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

Frequent switching of team members should be reduced. I think thats because they were a small team and had to keep switching senior members to critical areas of new projects, but still I think that should be reduced. Client should be able to work with same team members.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of Konnect, a mobile app for making local friends.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tezeract?

We needed help with building our AI recommendation engine.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We told Tezeract what we were looking for, and they confirmed that they could build it. After that, we created a plan together, defining the requirements and how long it was going to take. From there, they started with the development process, building the AI recommendation engine for our mobile app from scratch.

Tezeract built an admin panel on the backend, which served as a dashboard, and did some UI/UX design work on the backend admin panel and the frontend of the AI recommendation engine. They built everything using Flask.

We have certain criteria that we use for recommending friends. We have a huge database and the AI engine looks through the entire database and determines who is the most relevant person, the second most relevant person, and so on. It shows people in order of relevance, from most to least relevant.

Moreover, Tezeract is going to be helping us build a picture verification feature so that when users sign up, we can verify their picture to make sure it's really them. They’re also going to build an AI ID verification capability, which is going to check the user’s ID and match the name on their profile to make sure it’s truly them.

Tezeract is providing us with maintenance support as well.

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact is Iqra (Technical Project Manager), who oversees our entire project. We work with Fizahat (AI Software Engineer) as well, who was one of the main people in charge of building the AI engine. I also worked with Abdul (CEO); he always checks in to see how things are going.

How did you come to work with Tezeract?

We found out about Tezeract on Upwork.

How much have you invested with them?

We have spent between $5,000–$10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve been very satisfied with Tezeract’s work, which is of high quality. They’re a great team, and they go above and beyond to meet our needs. Overall, they’re doing an amazing job, and we give them the highest score in terms of quality, professionalism, and knowledge.

How did Tezeract perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been very accommodating when it comes to our budget. We use Skype for communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’ve been impressed with the Tezeract team. Working with them does not feel like we’re dealing with a business; it feels like we’re dealing with a group of people who want us to be successful. Their team always gives us their best ideas in order to be successful. They’re also very knowledgeable about AI technology.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m very satisfied with Tezeract’s services, so I can’t think of anything that they could do better.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Clearly define what you need, and they will tell you how to do it.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of VOLTOX, one of the first global providers of smile and face ID for e-commerce. In the future, logging in with Google, Facebook, or Apple will be biometric, and users will log in with a smile for Shopify, Magento, and different e-commerce sites. We’re based in Switzerland.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tezeract?

We needed help with AI and optical character recognition (OCR) development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tezeract has built everything from scratch. They’ve done AI, OCR, and antispoofing; the team has worked on login management with face, payments, and SaaS solutions. We have nine platforms, and Tezeract has done the product design and the user admin, the client admin, and the super admin.

What is the team composition?

We work with five teammates, including the CTO, project manager, AI experts, and developers.

How did you come to work with Tezeract?

I found them on LinkedIn and Upwork. They specialized in AI technology and were experts in the field. Additionally, I got references from their clients and proofs of concept.

How much have you invested in them?

We pay around $5,000 per month, so we’ve spent approximately $40,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in September 2022, and it’s an ongoing partnership.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We now face proof of concept with global partners, banks, retailers, and large private companies. Moreover, we’re very satisfied with the quality of the work. We used another team before Tezeract, but they didn’t do a good job. Tezeract took over the project, and they’ve done an excellent job.

How did Tezeract perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management has been fantastic. The project manager is very professional and responsive. She takes our instructions and implements them quickly; all tasks are completed within a week.

We work using Slack and Trello to follow the progress there.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I love their teamwork and communication. Tezeract is always friendly and motivated, which has given us a great journey and motivation. Overall, we love that they’re experts in what we need.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we’re very satisfied at the moment.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I really recommend them. The CTO is so great we’d like to hire them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of Alisia.ai startup

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Tezeract, and what were your goals?

We needed a web development agency to help us build out the first iteration of our AI platform

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

After doing detailed research we shortlisted 3 vendors who were providing the service we wanted among which we picked Tezeract because their expertise matched our use case and they had an amazing portfolio.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We wanted a file management system for multiple organizations. We provided them with the UI theme we had for Alisia, They understood the whole project workflow and divided it into different development stages. They built a system that had a hierarchy of admin, users, files, and folders implemented with an OCR detection and search functionality. The files could also be downloaded to the device.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Firstly, Tezeract founders were our main source of contact but then their project manager, development team lead, and the development team collaborated with us to provide the best results.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

They developed a file management app that contains OCR detection and Search functionality which is very helpful and unique. Apart from that the application also had a super admin app that made it super easy to supervise all the data & events happening.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We had 2 weekly catchups to discuss each sprint. One at the start up the week to discuss the results of the last sprint and one on friday to discuss any problems we faced when testing the solution.

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

We were most impressed by the fact that their team never passes by the deadlines and always delivered the deliverables on time. They collaborated with us at different stages of product development and were ready to accept the changes we required in our application

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

The only area of improvement would be on the testing side of things. We found a number of bugs right after some features had been tested by the team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Open Mic On Education, a video production company that caters to schools here in the United States.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tezeract?

We wanted to give our clients, who are educators in schools, the ability to create their own videos. We needed a company that could develop a platform that gives our clients the end-to-end ability to create their own videos about the interesting things they're doing in their classrooms or that are happening in their school district.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Tezeract to develop a digital asset management system for end-to-end video management. They used React platform for the frontend, and the backend is Django and Python. 

The system allows users to upload media that they've recorded in their classrooms using their phones and invite other people to upload media to their projects. The system uses artificial intelligence to extract the best bits of the uploaded media and piece them together into a theme that the user is looking for. It will then ultimately give the user a finished video for them to review, approve, and then publish to social media or whatever other channels they prefer. 

Once Tezeract has built the system, they also handled its deployment. They’re currently in charge of keeping the system maintained and backed up and dealing with emergencies that arise.

What is the team composition?

We work with four people from Tezeract, including a project manager, a backend developer, a frontend developer, and an AI specialist.

How did you come to work with Tezeract?

I found Tezeract through a freelancing platform. I’ve already worked with two other firms and spent a substantial amount of money on developing this platform over the course of three years, only to have a barely functioning product.

So, right when I found Tezeract, I gave them a brief description of the project. My first interaction with them was very favorable in that they came back to me with quite a comprehensive quote. Rather than providing me with a dollar amount, they were very specific in terms of how they would approach the problem at hand and the hours that it would take. They specifically enumerated the team members who would be working on each part of the proposal.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $55,000–$60,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.
 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The system has enabled us to do more work with the same number of people. Because of this increase in our efficiency, we’ve been able to go from six to 11 clients, effectively increasing our client base by 40%–50%.

How did Tezeract perform from a project management standpoint?

Tezeract takes project management very seriously. They are so disciplined when it comes to setting goals — they never miss a management call or our weekly sprint meetings. They always do everything they say they will, and even if they are not able to, they immediately tackle what they missed the following week.

We primarily communicate through Slack, Trello, and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with Tezeract’s robust team and extensive pool of resources. They have everything at their fingertips — no matter what need comes up, they can always address it. Another one of their strengths is their expertise in both video and artificial intelligence. Their deep knowledge of natural language processing and object detection was definitely one of the most unique and valuable things they’ve brought to the table.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I only wish they had better audio equipment.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Let them manage the project and go for the full partnership arrangement at a flat monthly fee, and you’ll get the benefit of their full capabilities.
 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a sports AI platform company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tezeract?

We needed a development team to execute our sports AI platform concept; we wanted a team that could take high-level direction from us while developing the product.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tezeract has worked on taking my high-level concept to full implementation. We’ve done several iterations and reviews along the way. Our team does the UI definition, while their team handles the implementation. The project involves an app, a UI design, and some video AI functionality. The product is a mobile app with a cloud-based platform available for Android and iOS devices. It’s built on AWS, and we’ve used various programming languages to build it, such as React Native. For the database, we use MongoDB, among others. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 5–7 people, including developers and graphic designers. 

How did you come to work with Tezeract?

We found Tezeract on Upwork. Initially, we gave them small test projects to see how our engagement would go. Our team liked what we saw, so we continued to expand the relationship. 

How much have you invested with them?

Our investment is close to $25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in May 2021, and the partnership is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

So far, our app is responsive and its features are working properly. We haven’t implemented our full-feature set yet, and we’re continuing to gather feedback from end users. These users have been happy with our product; they get value out of it. 

This shows that our solution and platform are good, and the app quality is sufficient. We’ve experienced issues along the way — we’ve had buggy releases — but we’ve only had to send reports to solve such issues. 

How did Tezeract perform from a project management standpoint?

Tezeract’s project management is great. We’ve had some ups, downs, and delays, but they deliver on time. Our main communication channel is Slack. We also have different channels and rooms where we can talk about issues and document them. Moreover, the Tezeract team has a bug-tracking tool that looks like an agile dashboard. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their willingness to take any problem, break it down, and get through it is impressive. They communicate well with me, and we’ve built up trust over the past year.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re small, so they need to scale up over time. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Document and specify clearly what Tezeract needs to do. This will lead to better results.

Tezeract were tasked with being able to automate the creation of a marketing report. This involved but is not limited to:

• Creating a process to determine accuracy of LLM outputs
• Leveraging API's from Ad Platforms to dynamically pull custom information
• Automate Google Doc & Sheet creation for each project
• Creating a feedback loop for continuous improvement in LLM Outputs
• Consutling on best practices to set-up the project from the beginning 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate success;

• Volume of report creation. Previously I was only able to create one report per month. Now, I can make 10. With future improvements, this number will hopefully increase to the 100's.  
• Accuracy of LLM outputs. From initial prompting, the LLM's output was correct about 50% of the time. This has increased now to closer to 90% accuracy with refinements and training. 

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

Their project management style has been very responsive. I receive daily communication from the team and have a weekly online call with them. 
How they prioritise their work is communicated clearly so that we are always on the same page. 
They respond to my needs in a timely manner. I also appreciate their patience. I am not an expert in LLM's or machine learning and I have lots of questions. They are happy to answer them and help educate me. It has been a great experience so far :)

What was your primary form of communication with Tezeract?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their experience in a vast array of areas was impressive.
When I started, I didn't realise how many specialised skillsets were required to complete the project. Automation, machine learning, AI, prompt engineering, design, hosting, database management, and the list goes on. Fortunately Tezeract are able to provide all services to a high standard in house which has made life significantly easier. This is not something that I was able to find from other providers. 

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

Not that I am aware of just yet. It has been a great experience working with them so far :)
