AI staff augmentation with senior AI engineers who join your team

AI staff augmentation means bringing external AI and machine learning experts into your projects for a defined period. With theBlue.ai, LLM and ML engineers, data scientists, Azure AI engineers, full-stack developers and AI architects join your team for a specific task or for a few months, without long-term commitments. They co-develop your AI projects, support your R&D, or build a complete AI system as a dedicated team.

theBlue.ai provides experts in four areas: generative AI (large language models, small language models and large multimodal models), computer vision (image recognition, video analysis and augmented reality), MLOps (model deployment, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring) and full-stack development (frontend, backend and APIs). Typical roles are LLM engineers, ML engineers, data scientists, Azure AI engineers, full-stack developers and AI architects.

In a team extension, theBlue.ai’s engineers join your team and you direct the development process: you supervise resources, assignments and strategy and ensure the outcome. In a specialized team, theBlue.ai controls the development process and ensures the outcome, so you can concentrate on your business.

In an AI project, theBlue.ai runs three phases: a fixed-price process analysis, a milestone-based implementation against your real data and systems, and a go-live with handover of code and documentation. In AI staff augmentation, theBlue.ai’s engineers join your own project instead, either as a team extension that your project lead directs, or as a specialized team that theBlue.ai directs. See how we work.

AI staff augmentation with theBlue.ai comes without a long-term commitment. The AI experts join for as long as the work needs them, whether that is expert knowledge for one specific task or support over a few months.

Yes. theBlue.ai’s engineers review the existing AI system first, keep what works and build against your plan. For Radaway, an existing LLM system for email orders was reviewed and turned into a reliable enterprise system in three weeks, with 90 percent less manual intervention. See the Radaway case study.

theBlue.ai’s engineers work with Python, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, embeddings, semantic search and AI agents, on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, with Docker. For computer vision they have built deep learning models such as U-Net variants with reproducible pipelines on Azure ML.

theBlue.ai’s developers and architects hold certifications such as Azure AI Engineer, Data Scientist and Elasticsearch Engineer. theBlue.ai is an OpenAI Select Partner and works in partnership with Microsoft, Amazon, Intel and NVIDIA, with support from IFB Hamburg. Its parent group Apollogic is ISO 9001 certified and an SAP and Microsoft partner since 2007.

theBlue.ai’s engineers have worked in automotive, healthcare, e-commerce, logistics, professional services and more. theBlue.ai has delivered more than 100 AI and automation projects across ten industries since 2016, for organisations such as Radaway, apoQlar, Tirol Kliniken, arvato and the European Commission.

theBlue.ai works from two offices, Hamburg in Germany and Poznań in Poland, and collaborates with clients across Europe and beyond. As part of the Apollogic group, it has 120+ engineers behind every contract.

Then the right start is theBlue.ai’s AI Discovery Workshop. It maps your processes end to end, ranks the use cases by return and delivers a proposal with architecture, integration plan, timeline and cost, at a fixed price from €3k. You can then build with your own team, with theBlue.ai’s engineers, or both.
