Pento is an AI and machine learning consulting company. It helps growing businesses go from idea to production. Pento designs, builds, and deploys machine learning, computer vision, NLP, generative AI, and predictive modeling systems. A project is done only when it runs in production and delivers results you can measure.

Pento works with growing companies and enterprise teams that want to apply AI to real problems. It works across retail, ecommerce, healthcare, manufacturing, and hospitality. You might need AI strategy, a fixed-scope project, or forward deployed engineers to augment your team. Pento starts where you are and takes the work all the way to production.

How does Pento work with our team?

Pento works as a nearshore partner. Its forward deployed AI and ML engineers work in time zones close to yours. You work together in real time during your business hours, with no offshore handoffs. And you get forward deployed engineers only, with no juniors and no bait and switch.

What makes Pento different?

Pento builds for production. Every solution ships and runs in production, instead of staying a proof of concept that never leaves the lab. Pento staffs forward deployed engineers only. It offers flexible ways to work: consulting, fixed-scope projects, or team augmentation. And it pairs deep domain expertise with hands-on skill in machine learning, computer vision, NLP, and MLOps.

What AI and machine learning services does Pento offer?

Pento covers the full range of AI and machine learning consulting. That includes AI strategy and roadmaps, machine learning, predictive modeling, and computer vision. It also covers natural language processing (NLP), LLM applications, generative AI, and conversational agents. Its MLOps services keep models reliable in production, with sound deployment, monitoring, and scaling.

Steer by Pento is the platform we built and deliver every project on, so you get software faster with proof on every pull request. Forward deployed engineers write the spec as goals with acceptance criteria, AI coding agents build in isolated sandboxes, and every pull request ships with evidence that an independent review model and a forward deployed engineer check. We sell the delivered software, and Steer is how we deliver it.

Do you work at a fixed price?

Yes, when the scope is clear, such as an integration or a smaller project on Steer. After a free audit you get one price in writing before any code is written. For a roadmap or a larger project, a Pento team of forward deployed engineers works on Steer with your team for a monthly fee.
