About ai_by_humans

A curated network of AI engineers. Quality over volume. Manual vetting. Human matching.

Why We Exist

The AI talent market is noisy. Open marketplaces optimize for volume. Agencies optimize for margins. We optimize for quality.

Every engineer in our network has been manually interviewed and technically assessed. No automated approvals. No junior listings. No bidding wars.

We exist to connect serious teams with engineers who have built production AI systems—not prototypes or demos.

Our Approach

Quality Over Volume

We curate a small network of proven engineers instead of listing thousands of unvetted profiles.

Manual Vetting

Every engineer goes through application review, technical assessment, live interview, and case discussion.

Human Matching

Our team manually matches projects with the right engineers—no algorithms, no automated suggestions.

What We're Not

Not a Marketplace

We don't list profiles for you to browse. We match you with pre-selected engineers.

Not an Agency

No markup on rates. You work directly with engineers. We facilitate the match.

Not for Everyone

We focus on teams with real AI implementation needs and production-ready projects.

Not Automated

No AI matching. No automated vetting. Every step is human-reviewed.

Built by Engineers

We understand the gap between AI hype and production-ready implementation. Our founders have shipped AI systems at scale and know what it takes to build reliable, maintainable solutions.

The network exists to bridge that gap—connecting teams who need real expertise with engineers who have proven they can deliver.
