Choosing an Ankara AI company is different from picking a generic software vendor. You need proof of LLM/RAG delivery, data governance, model ownership and KVKK compliance. This guide gives you a practical checklist for finding the right Ankara AI firm.
⚡ In this guide: Selection criteria, quote comparison, red flags, on-premise/KVKK, reference checks and our company comparison.
10 Criteria for Choosing an AI Company in Ankara
- LLM & RAG experience — GPT, Claude, local models; live project references
- KVKK & on-premise — can data stay inside your organization?
- Integration skills — CRM, ERP, WhatsApp, e-government APIs
- QA & testing — output validation, hallucination control
- Written scope & SLA — model updates, maintenance, source code transfer
- Sector experience — public sector, finance, healthcare, manufacturing
- Price transparency — are token/API costs included?
- Multi-channel support — web, WhatsApp, voice, internal panels
- GEO & SEO awareness — AI search visibility (optional plus)
- Local accessibility — face-to-face discovery and support in Ankara
How to Compare Quotes Fairly
Ask every vendor for the same scope: user count, channels (web/WhatsApp), integration list, on-premise requirements, training data volume and monthly token budget. See our LLM cost guide.
Red Flags
- Vendor sells only chatbot UI without explaining LLM architecture
- No KVKK or data processing agreement
- Cannot show live AI references
- Price far below market (hidden API cost risk)
