  Owner

  Evan's Gambit is a small technically focused Gen-AI firm that builds custom solutions for specific industry-focused use cases. We are -1. Research focused - We only take on projects that can't be easily solved by an available product. We will point you to a referral partner if that will save everyone's time and money.2. Security First - We specialize in systems that require an airgap - level of security. Typically, this means an on premise solution that works with no external API connection. This means - your files, privacy, and data are as safe as they are on your computer hard drive.(however, if your use case doesn't require this, lets still talk!)3. ROI incentivized - We charge a flat fee, 10% of the agreed upon value created for the following year.Interested? Reach out to chat more! Show less
