Iwana Labs

We build and operate production AI systems.

We build agents, recommendation systems, and search over your own data, with the evaluation and telemetry that keep them trustworthy once real users depend on them.

Two-week loops
each one ends in working software
Full handover
modular, documented, yours to evolve
No middle layer
you work with the engineers who build it

Capabilities

What we build, and keep running.

Agents and automation

Live agents in front of real users, with deterministic stage boundaries and bounded iteration counts. We reach for agents where they earn their complexity.

Personalization and ranking

Content-based, collaborative, and hybrid recommendation, delivered with the experimentation framework and SOPs your team needs to keep improving it safely.

Search systems

Search and question answering across your own content, with every answer traceable to a source. Hybrid keyword and semantic search, gated by search-quality evaluation before it goes live.

Content generation at scale

Publish-ready, on-style output in volume and in multiple languages, validated against your editorial rules before it reaches your CMS.

Data and entity resolution

Pipelines over millions of records a day, with deduplication, schema normalisation, and the monitoring that keeps the output trusted by the people who depend on it.

Rescue and stabilisation

Codebase and workflow audits, restored test and CI hygiene, baseline monitoring, and a prioritised roadmap for a system that has stopped being safe to change.

How we work

Every engagement runs the same five stages.

  1. 01

    Intake

    We scope the problem, agree what done means, and agree how the result will be measured before any code is written.

  2. 02

    Build

    Two-week iteration loops shaped by direct client and end-user feedback, with working software in front of real users early.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    Evaluation sets covering accuracy, quality, and latency, run on every change. Nothing reaches production without passing its gate.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Staged deployment with rollback, and version control over models, configuration, and the data they depend on.

  5. 05

    Operate

    Monitoring, alerting, and cost tracking, plus a complete handover package of modular steps with explicit interface contracts, so your team can evolve the system without us.
