ai talent
an ai-native operating pod for commerce
not a consultancy, not staff-aug. we embed a pod that builds and runs custom ai commerce on the alana foundation: personal shoppers, agents, apps, automations. model-agnostic orchestration via our sdks, so it ships as your ip, in-house, with no lock-in to any single provider.
model-agnostic. plug in any model or framework

the models are here. shipping them isn’t.
most ai projects stall between a slick demo and production, buried under a stack of saas and a tier-1 consultancy.
tier-1 consultancies
slow and generic. they hand you a deck and leave you with the ppt and the problem. nothing shipped.
point saas
one-size-fits-all tools you rent, stitch together, and lock into. no single owner of the outcome.
your internal team
buried in the roadmap and under pressure to 'adopt ai', with no bandwidth to build and run it.
the solution
not a consultancy. not software. an operating pod in your team.
built on the alana foundation
alana saas (ingest, score, canvas, mcp) is the production wedge. the pod builds your products on it, not from scratch on a blank page.
model-agnostic orchestration
openai, anthropic, mistral, open source, orchestrated through our sdks and swapped at will. no lock-in to a single model, provider, or saas.
proprietary ip, in-house
the agents, apps and products the pod builds are yours: owned, hosted and extended by your team, not rented from a stack of vendors.
an operating pod, not a deck
embedded and outcome-first, tied to real production metrics, not billed hours or strategy slides. we ship and run it, with you.
what you build
what you can build on the foundation
personal shopper
a personal shopper tuned to your catalog
an orchestrator plus specialist agents (style, availability, comparison) grounded in your live catalog and brand voice. your agent, not a generic bot.
- multi-model orchestrator + specialist agents
- grounded in your real catalog, prices, and availability
- built on alana sdks so your team owns it

internal automations
automate merchandising and ops in-house
enrichment, tagging, media, and merchandising workflows automated with the sdks, cutting your dependency on point saas tools.
- automate enrichment, tagging, and media at scale
- replace a sprawl of single-purpose tools
- runs in your stack, on your terms

how we work
a done-with-you build, so you keep the ip
discovery
we map your catalog, your stack, and what you want to build and own.
design
we design the architecture (agents, apps, automations) together with your team.
co-build
we build with you on alana’s sdks and open source, in short iterations, so your team owns the code.
run & own
we launch, harden it in production, and hand over the keys. you own and extend it.
the pod
three layers, embedded in your team
a fractional ai product lead sets direction, engineers build it, and agentic tools run it, all plugged into your org.
a fractional head of ai product
a senior ai product leader, embedded in your org, owns the roadmap and the outcomes, and steers the build. temporary by design: they hand the keys back to your team.
ai engineers
engineers who build the agents, apps and automations on alana’s sdks: multi-model, production-grade, and yours to own.
agentic tools, operating
the agents and tools running in production on the alana foundation (personal shoppers, discovery, automations), monitored, evaluated, and tuned.
in production
we replaced a tier-1 strategy consultancy
a leading latin american fashion marketplace swapped a tier-1 strategy consultancy for an alana ai talent pod: model-agnostic agents built on their live catalog and run as an embedded operating partner, tied to production outcomes. their product, their ip.
in 2026, openai and anthropic each launched a deployment arm, betting that ai models alone don’t ship outcomes. ai talent is exactly that, for commerce: model-agnostic, embedded, built on the alana foundation.
