About
A founder-led studio that takes AI from promise to production.
AI Sense is small on purpose. The engineer you speak to on the first call is the one who leads your build.
Manish Lakra is an AI engineer and technical lead who builds production agentic AI systems, LLM orchestration and low-latency voice-to-voice pipelines.
After years of building conversational AI, multi-agent systems and real-time voice products, he saw the same pattern repeat: impressive demos that never reached real users. He founded AI Sense Technologies in 2026 to close that gap for other businesses.

What we believe
The principles behind our work
Production is the only proof
A system counts when real users rely on it.
Clients own their work

Plain speaking
We say what AI can and cannot do.
Measure, then claim
We test before we promise.
