Who we are

About Rottawhite

Rottawhite is an AI engineering studio based in Bengaluru, India. We build agentic AI and retrieval systems that run in production for clients in the US, UK, and beyond — senior architects only, and every system ships with the evidence that it works. The results are in our case studies.

Why we stay small

Why we stay small

Every Rottawhite engagement is led by senior engineers with production deployment experience. No account manager handoffs. No junior developer learning curves.

We take on 4-6 clients at a time to ensure each receives founding-team attention. We turn down projects outside our expertise.

Senior Architects Only

Direct access to senior architects on every project.

No Handoffs

The architect you meet is the one building your system.

Selective About Projects

What we do

What we do

We build agents that take real actions in your systems, retrieval systems that answer from your own documents with citations, and the software underneath both. The work is judged on whether it runs in production, not whether it demos well.

Our approach is simple: understand the problem deeply, design a practical solution, build it with modern technology, and support it for the long term.

The alternatives

Agency, freelancer, or in-house?

An honest comparison, including the rows we lose. A strong freelancer is cheaper than us, and a company with a decade-long AI roadmap should eventually hire in-house.

Red flags when hiring AI development

Questions worth asking any vendor, including us. Each one has a checkable answer.

The demo runs on their data, not yours

A demo on curated examples proves nothing about your scanned invoices and edge cases. Ask any vendor to run against a sample of your real documents before you commit; that is exactly what our $2,500 sprint is for.

No accuracy measurement method

If a vendor cannot explain how accuracy is measured, on what test set, and what number blocks a release, the number they quote is marketing. Ask to see the eval method in writing; ours is published on the eval harness page.

No price anywhere until the third call

An unpublished price usually means the price is whatever they think you can pay. We publish ours: $2,500 for the sprint, and the build scoped against what the workflow costs you today.

They have never run AI in production themselves

Advising on production AI without operating any is theory. We run three of our own AI products (Vectropic.ai, LeadLens, SEOWriter), so the operational lessons in our builds were learned on our own systems first.
