## About this market
Most Dublin firms here run projects, and the documented ones differ sharply in how much AI they contain. Ergo's Dundalk Institute of Technology chatbot was scoped, tested and launched in September 2024 on Azure OpenAI, and its Deanta manuscript-classification app reports over 90% accuracy against a 60% baseline, with Analytics Engines named as the AI delivery partner on both. Gemmo AI opens with a six-week AI Pathfinder and publishes an anonymized wealth-management pipeline credited with cutting time to market by almost six months. Clearlead runs from scoping to handover, and its anonymized price-prediction model cut median error from 10% to 6%. Sonalake's Vodafone congestion forecaster and Square Root's Druid Learning platform are model-engineering builds. Konversational rebuilt Brightsolid's ServiceNow service model in 12 weeks, Codec delivered Córas for the Health and Safety Authority in three phases, and the published projects of Storm Technology and Idiro are Microsoft platform delivery and pre-LLM analytics.

The sorting question for a Dublin buyer is whether you are buying an AI project or a platform project with AI on the menu. The curator notes that Codec and Storm publish no AI system delivered for a named client, and that Konversational's AI is ServiceNow's own. If the model is the deliverable, ask for the evaluation set, the baseline it was measured against and who operates it after handover; if the platform is the deliverable, ask what AI capability ships inside the fixed scope rather than on the roadmap.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with project-based in Dublin?
9 agencies in our directory combine verified project-based client evidence with a Dublin base. The current top-ranked are Square Root Solutions, Storm Technology, Ergo — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.

### How much does an AI agency cost in Dublin?
Published rates across this page's agencies run €20–130 per hour (median ~€65). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.

### How is the project-based model verified?
Every agency here documents project-based work on its own site or in a published case study, describing the engagement structure rather than a service-list claim. We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate project-based engagements deliberately.

### Can these agencies embed consultants with our team?
2 of the agencies on this page document an embedded / team-extension working model. See the team-extension page for the full verified list, or check the engagement chips on individual profiles.
