## About this market
Project work documented in Ljubljana is small-team and scoped, and the record is unusually explicit about terms. Indigo Labs' project pages publish duration, team size, budget band and stack: the multilingual assistant for the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Mechanical Engineering ran two months with one engineer, and the ESG ON platform for RISO pre-fills EU ESG reporting templates from uploaded documents, reports a 70% cut in double-materiality analysis time and is described as an MVP in testing. MS iHub's checkable AI case is the TehnoLES generator that wrote 15,000-plus product descriptions for a woodworking-tools store, reported at 25% more clicks, though the figure differs between pages; its Henkel workforce-planning tool is called AI-assisted with no model or method named. Alpdev names every reference: for Polfin, a three-score lead model over a 35,000-lead CRM with a language-model-derived intent score, and for Bent, a support assistant that recommends products by linking to ERP catalog entries rather than generating them.

The sorting question here is what happens in the months after the scoped build ends. Published team sizes at Indigo Labs run one to three people per project and several flagships are MVPs in testing; MS iHub's warranty runs one month and its site names no one but the founder; Alpdev was founded in 2025 with fewer than ten people and no reference carries a measured outcome. Ask which named system is live with real users today, who maintains it and what that costs, then ask the client whose numbers were measured.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with project-based in Ljubljana?
3 agencies in our directory combine verified project-based client evidence with a Ljubljana base. The current top-ranked are MS iHub, Indigo Labs, Alpdev — 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 Ljubljana?
Published rates across this page's agencies run €45–85 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.
