Named #1 AI Services Company by Clutch Inc. AI Power Partner

A foundational pivot, not a trend
Founded in 2016 by Brandon Powell and proudly based in Atlanta, Georgia, HatchWorks AI is a partner in AI and data transformation.
When generative AI, and ChatGPT in particular, burst onto the scene in November 2022, we felt two gut-level reactions.
This changes everything, creating limitless potential.
Adapt quickly or face irrelevance.
AI had always been part of our toolkit, but this moment was different. It was a fundamental turning point, not just another trend. So we faced an existential fork in the road, and chose to pivot the entire company around generative AI. We dove in head-first, re-engineering our approach, retraining our teams, and refocusing our offerings. The transformation wasn't superficial; it was foundational.
It is easy to do AI.
It is hard to do well.
That's where we come in. We act as a guide, so you keep clarity in your strategy, control over your direction, and complete ownership of your IP, sidestepping the common pitfalls along the way.
AI is everywhere.
Outcomes are rare.
The gap between what AI can do and what is actually adopted is wide. We exist to close it through the power of your data.
AI is all we do
We are a pure-play AI partner, not a generalist firm. We are not a legacy dev shop retrofitting AI, we are built around it.
A proven approach
Generative-Driven Development, our proprietary methodology for building with AI, reshapes how software is designed, developed and delivered, with AI embedded at every step.
Outcome driven by design
We do not measure success in pilots, prototypes, or hours. We measure it in business impact, with accountability for outcomes, not just deliverables.

300%
We improved velocity by almost 300% while reducing bugs to near zero, with a team of talented, competent people.
A strong philosophy and core set of fundamentals that make initiatives successful and lift the culture of the teams we work with.
A true product partner, not just a delivery shop. They think like I do.
The Gen AI workshop was the jumpstart we needed to start building real POCs across the business.
They built an assistant our team actually trusts, one that captures our knowledge and keeps it inside our walls.
50+
Five years in, we have 50+ nearshore engineers from HatchWorks accelerating our transformation.
An approach that scales responsibly across teams, a safer, more standardized way to apply GenAI in delivery.
Their AI expertise helped us cut operational costs and improve the client experience.
A chat assistant with over 90% accuracy, on time and within budget. Their quality and flexibility was impressive.
Their engineers integrated seamlessly with ours, 30+ nearshore engineers accelerating our digital transformation.
Exactly what you said, in exactly the budget and exactly the timeline.
Not scraping the web, pulling real-time ADS-B data and making airspace usable by everyone.
They know how to find and get talent. The code was extremely advanced, the English fluent, the work ethic strong.
They combined best-in-class tools into something that works, and fast.
The engineers and the support team are both fantastic.
On time, and they respond within hours. They presented exceptional candidates who surpassed our expectations.
They more than delivered on truly daunting tasks, finishing ahead of schedule.
Two years in, overlapping time zones and a real governance model. I plan to keep going.
It was that personal touch that keeps us coming back.
