What we said about each
Our take on Converteo
Sharlie, the voice agent behind Orange's Sosh brand, is the most completely documented build in this register, and the detail is the point. Converteo committed to a voice-to-voice architecture in April 2024, before the model reached general availability, specifically to avoid a later migration off a speech-to-text pipeline—a decision that bought roughly one second of latency against three. Around thirty specialized agents hand off between themselves, escalate to a human, and act on Orange's…

DataSentics documents five named production deployments with the stack disclosed down to the model: a LightGBM fraud-detection model live on Databricks and AWS for 2. 35 million Esure customers, and an XGBoost and Elasticsearch product-matching pipeline processing tens of millions of Heureka offers a day at over 98% precision. A Databricks-based personalization system is credited with 1,000 additional advisor meetings at Česká Spořitelna (Erste Group) in three months, and the story is…

- broader service offering — also covers Generative AI
- a higher overall editorial score
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Converteo
Strengths
- One engagement documented end to end, including the architecture decision, its latency cost, the evaluation rig and the kill switch—no other agency here publishes at that level
- Evaluation as a discipline rather than an afterthought: virtual clients, an LLM-as-a-judge scoring price accuracy and brand posture, and an AI bug bounty before exposure to customers
- Ten-plus named clients across retail, energy and industry, with the work described case by case rather than listed as logos
Watch-outs
- Outside the voice-agent work, most published cases are data and marketing engineering—confirm which practice your engagement lands in
- No headcount, founding year or rates published; scale and price both have to be established in conversation
DataSentics
Strengths
- Every case study lists the named engineer or lead behind the work, with a direct email and phone—Petr Dvořák, David Vopelka and Ondřej Havlíček among them.
- Databricks Elite Consulting Partner status is independent, verifiable corroboration of the platform expertise behind these case studies, not a self-reported claim.
- The Nestlé shelf-monitoring model runs at over 97% detection accuracy inside a live mobile app used by field sales reps, not a lab benchmark.
Watch-outs
- Confirm which legal entity signs the contract—DataSentics now operates inside the Eviden/Bull group rather than as an independent boutique.
- Ask for a reference case outside retail, insurance and banking—documented deployments cluster tightly there, plus one internal media-platform MLOps project.
- No rate is published on site—benchmark directly against the EU €100–200/h band before assuming group-vendor pricing.
