Built by people from
Sather Tech is a boutique AI consulting firm based in Berkeley, CA. We specialize in production AI systems for operations-driven businesses - voice agents, document intelligence, and workflow automation.
Most AI consulting
delivers reports.
We deliver systems.
The AI landscape is full of firms that will audit your operations, produce a strategy document, and leave you to figure out implementation. We think that model fails the client.
We built Sather Tech to do the opposite: start with a structured audit, then stay through design, build, deployment, and optimization. Every engagement ends with a working system your team owns - not a slide deck.
Our background is engineering, not management consulting. We understand the systems we build at a technical level, which means we scope honestly, build reliably, and don't overpromise what AI can do.
UC Berkeley, Computer Science & Engineering. We understand the models, the infrastructure, and the failure modes - not just the interfaces built on top of them. That technical grounding shapes every scoping decision we make.
Voice AI systems we've shipped are handling hundreds of hours of live calls. We've seen what breaks in production - latency spikes, edge cases in call flows, integration failures - and how to prevent them before they reach your customers.
We've built working AI systems against real operational briefs. We've been tested by operators, not just evaluated in theory.
We'll tell you when AI isn't the right investment. Our reputation depends on engagements that deliver - not on closing every opportunity that comes through the door. That honesty is what makes the relationships that do work, last.
We don't propose solutions until we've mapped the problem. Every engagement begins with a structured audit of your operations - current processes, data infrastructure, tooling, and team capabilities. This is how we scope honestly.
After the audit comes a prototype - a working system that you can test against real workflows before committing to full deployment. You should see the thing working before you pay for the full build. We believe that strongly.
Every deployment includes training, documentation, and a handoff process. When we leave, your team should be able to monitor, adjust, and extend what we built without calling us. Dependency on the vendor is a design failure.
We work in six practice areas and we don't take engagements outside them. The depth of focus is what allows us to scope accurately, build reliably, and deliver within the timelines we commit to. We'd rather do six things well than twelve things adequately.
Full call transcripts - searchable, exportable, and logged to your CRM automatically
Real-time dashboards with call volume, latency, accuracy, and resolution metrics
Prompt versioning with one-click rollback - any change, any time
Safety policies, content guardrails, and configurable escalation rules
Defined latency targets and SLA tracking from day one of production
Weekly performance reviews and ongoing prompt tuning for four weeks post-launch
Security & privacy: We support PII redaction, minimal data retention, role-based access controls, and on-premise or cloud-isolated deployments. Your data requirements are scoped into the engagement at the start.
A 30-minute conversation is enough to understand whether there's a fit - and to give you an honest sense of what AI can and can't do in your specific situation.
