Delivering AI with quality and performance.
Strategy, solution architecture, model training, MLOps, LLMOps, and ISO 42001 AI management systems for enterprise and public-sector clients.
An AI consultancy that ships production systems, not slide decks.
Lemay.ai is a specialized AI consultancy led by Mathieu Lemay and Daniel Shapiro, PhD. Since 2016 we have helped enterprises and governments turn AI ambition into deployed systems — across 21+ countries, from rapid prototypes to regulated production workloads.
We work at the strategic, architectural, and implementation layers of concern. Clients retain full IP, we work to fixed-fee plans, and every engagement ends with knowledge transfer so your team owns what we build.
Founder-led delivery
Every engagement has direct founder involvement in scope, architecture, and delivery reviews.
EN / FR team
Native-level English and French delivery for North American and European clients.
Fixed-fee, full IP
Stage-gated projects with predictable pricing. You own the code, the models, and the documentation.
A full services stack for the AI lifecycle.
From discovery and strategy through training, deployment, operations, and certified AI management. Engage us at any layer; most clients stay with us across several.
AI Strategy
Position AI within your business model, prioritize use cases by value and feasibility, and align leadership around a defensible plan.
Gap Analysis & AI Roadmap
Assess AI readiness across people, data, systems, and governance. Produce a phased, measurable roadmap.
Solution Architecture
Frame the business problem, map technical constraints, and design AI systems realistic to build and safe to scale.
Model Training & Research
Custom model development in NLP, CV, forecasting, recommendation, and decision support — with statistical validation.
Deployment & MLOps
Runtime selection, cloud or on-prem deployment, monitoring, retraining, and inference operations that hold up in production.
LLMOps
Fine-tuning, retrieval, evaluation harnesses, and operational patterns for large language models at enterprise scale.
A stage-gated framework that reduces delivery risk.
Every project moves through five phases with explicit deliverables and go/no-go checkpoints. You stay in control of scope, cost, and direction throughout.
Clarify objectives, scope, constraints, timelines, and a preliminary solution architecture with stakeholders.
Evaluate data availability, quality, and bias. Reassess feasibility before committing to implementation effort.
Develop and statistically validate models against agreed performance and fairness standards.
Integrate into target infrastructure — cloud or on-prem — with load balancing, containers, and scalable microservices.
Periodic check-ins, performance tracking, and knowledge-transfer handover so your team owns the system.
Predictable engagements. Transparent tradeoffs. Production outcomes.
Fixed-fee work plans
Clear scope, clear cost. No hourly creep, no surprise invoices at delivery.
Full IP to the client
You keep code, models, weights, and documentation. We do not resell your work to competitors.
Technical knowledge transfer
Structured sessions and documentation so your team can extend the system after we leave.
Cloud-agnostic & on-prem capable
AWS, Azure, GCP, NVIDIA DGX, or air-gapped environments — we architect for where your data lives.
ISO 42001-aligned by default
Risk, bias, and audit controls baked into delivery — not retrofitted when certification deadlines arrive.
Augmentation, not replacement
Systems that keep humans in the loop where decisions matter, with defensive-design and safety-first reviews.
Sector-specific depth across regulated and mission-critical work.
We have shipped AI systems into industries where accuracy, compliance, and operational robustness are non-negotiable.
Trusted by the organizations that set the bar.
Bring us the problem before you force a solution.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute discovery call. We map the opportunity, confirm fit, and propose a fixed-fee scope you can act on within two weeks.
