How to choose an AI development company for Ireland
- Start from the problem. Ask how the company would solve your specific use case, and whether AI is really needed.
- Ask for relevant work. Look for case studies in your industry and with similar data, languages or regulations.
- Check data handling. The country is part of the European Union or the European Economic Area, so the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies and personal data is handled under the same rules as across the EU and EEA. Agree in writing where your data is stored and whether it can be sent to third-party AI models.
- Test before committing. Start with a paid proof of concept on real data and agree how quality will be measured.
- Confirm ownership. Make sure you own the code, models and prompts, and that an NDA is signed before sharing data.
- Time zone. Ireland uses UTC+00:00 in winter and UTC+01:00 in summer. Agree overlap hours before the project starts.
