Frequently asked questions
Sapio AI is a Bucharest AI company, founded in 2021 by Vlad Tudor. It takes companies through AI adoption along the AI Adoption Path: Discovery on site, then Team Upskilling, Implementation and Research & Development, together or one at a time. Sapio AI builds custom AI software, AI agents and automations on the client's own systems, puts them into production and runs AI Fluency workshops for teams.
A Sapio AI project starts with Discovery, on site at your company. We trace your processes as they really run, on your documents and systems, and talk to the people who decide and those who do the work. Your management team receives the AI Strategy in a handoff workshop: a written plan with use cases in order, an estimated ROI for each, and what not to build. Every later step has scope, price and result agreed in writing first.
Sapio AI does not publish a price list, because the cost depends on how many processes, teams and systems are in scope. After a first call you receive a short written offer for Discovery, sized to your company. Every later step, such as a workshop, a pilot or an embedded AI engineer, gets its own offer, with scope, price and result agreed in writing before it starts.
The labels overlap. An AI consulting firm usually recommends and stops there, an automation firm connects existing tools, and an AI agency builds to a specification. Sapio AI covers the whole path: Discovery on site and the AI Strategy decide what is worth building, then the engineers who ran Discovery build the custom AI software, AI agents and automations on your systems and train your teams to use them.
It can. Sapio AI builds systems that can run entirely on your own infrastructure, on-premise or air-gapped, so documents and data do not leave the company; where each system runs is agreed during Discovery. What Sapio AI builds for you is yours at the end, with a handover plan set from the start. It runs on the Sapio core, which Sapio AI maintains and licenses to you.
Sapio AI has 10 published case studies. They include ai-aflat.ro, a free AI legal assistant that links every answer to its official source; a production RAG customer-support system, built for a company serving retail brands; a Romanian speech-to-text model; and an agent that ranks public tenders by a company's own criteria. All of them are on the projects page.
We're in the business of problem-solving.
