The Problem

"I spent 3 weeks on Upwork, hired 2 people, both disappeared mid-project. Lost ₹80,000 and 2 months."

— Seed-stage founder, Bengaluru

🤷

You know you need AI — not exactly what to build

"We need a chatbot." "Something with our data." Hiring before the problem is clear is how AI projects drift for months.

💸

A full-time AI hire is overkill for one project

Months of hiring and a full annual salary — for a build that needs three or four focused weeks from someone who has done it before.

😤

Generic platforms are noise

Thousands of "AI experts" and no easy way to tell who has actually shipped something real — until you've already paid.

What We Build

Specific builds.
Not vague "AI strategy".

The projects founders bring us most — each one scoped to a few weeks, with a vetted specialist who has built something like it before.

💬

WhatsApp assistants

Support, bookings and order updates handled on WhatsApp — answering only from your own information, and handing the rest to your team.

📄

Document & invoice extraction

Invoices, KYC, prescriptions, BOQs — read automatically and turned into clean data your team just checks and approves.

🎯

Lead qualification

Inbound enquiries scored and routed automatically, so your team calls the serious ones first instead of the loudest ones.

🛍️

Shopping & gift assistants

Helps buyers pick the right product, size or gift on your site and WhatsApp — the help a good store staff would give.

🧠

Copilots on your own data

Your team asks in plain language and gets answers from your own documents and data — tested so it doesn't make things up.

⚙️

Ops automation & agents

WhatsApp-to-Excel flows, dashboards you can query in plain English, and agents that take repetitive steps off your team.

🙅

Not a fit yet: computer vision, demand forecasting and sensor/IoT models. If that's what you need, we'll tell you on the first call — not a month in.

Proof, Not Promises

The first expert engagement
is already delivered

VettedAI isn't a someday idea. A vetted Elite expert has already delivered real work for a real client — matched, managed and shipped by VettedAI.

📐

Lead Qualification Architecture

Delivered for an agency client · via a vetted Elite expert

The client was losing high-value leads inside a noisy data pipeline. Our expert delivered a complete architectural approach and logic flow — separating data quality from lead value, so a missing field can never kill a genuine lead again. Delivered on the promised date, to spec.

Elite tier Delivered on time Real client

This is how every engagement works — the right expert, matched to the exact problem.

How It Works

From fuzzy idea to working pilot
in 4 steps

No job posts. No 200 random proposals. No paying for anything you haven't seen working.

📞

20-min scoping call

Tell us the problem, not the job title. We ask the questions that turn "we need AI" into something buildable.

📋

One-page scope in 48 hrs

What gets built, the milestones, the timeline and a fixed quote — in plain language. Yours to keep, even if you don't go ahead.

🤝

Hand-matched specialist

We pick the right vetted specialist from our roster for your exact problem and introduce you. Talk to them before anything starts.

🚀

Build, pay per milestone

Pay in INR via Razorpay after each milestone works, with GST invoicing. We stay accountable until the last milestone ships.

The Vetting Framework

4 layers. Zero shortcuts.

Anyone can fake a portfolio. No one can fake our 4-layer vetting process. This is why our experts are genuinely different.

⌨️Layer 1 — Technical

Can they code?

Real AI work, not certificates. We go through what they've actually built and shipped — and how it held up with real users.

🧠Layer 2 — Human Review

Can they think?

Our team evaluates problem-solving, communication, and how they approach messy real-world AI use cases. Credentials mean nothing without thinking.

✅Layer 3 — Track Record

Can they deliver?

Delivery history, client references where available, and how they handle deadlines. We check outcomes — not just portfolios.

🇮🇳Layer 4 — India Context

Do they fit India?

Indian languages, regulations, user behaviour, and startup culture. We filter for experts who truly understand the Indian market.

Why Not Others

How we compare to alternatives

Good platforms — built for a different job. Here's where we're different for Indian founders.

The Founder

"I'm not a developer. I'm just a founder who got frustrated enough to build the solution."

I have zero technical background — no ML degree, no coding experience, no IIT tag.

But I kept hitting the same wall: finding trusted AI talent in India is completely broken. Founders lose lakhs on bad hires. Great AI experts are invisible on generic platforms.

So I started talking to people. 40+ conversations with founders and AI experts across India confirmed the problem on both sides. Now I'm building the fix — openly, from Day 1.

What People Are Saying

Early reactions from real people

Founders and AI experts who've already engaged with VettedAI.

You are solving an absolutely relevant problem. There is severe scarcity of GenAI talent — and Upwork is filled with loots.

The real gap is not capability — it's contextual understanding. AI freelancers understand tools but not business problems.

Milestone based payments — you only pay when work is delivered. Never pay upfront. Ever.

FAQ

Questions answered

Everything you need to know before we talk.

What kind of projects do you take on?+

Specific builds that can ship in a few weeks — WhatsApp assistants, document and invoice extraction, lead qualification, shopping and gift assistants, copilots on your own data, and ops automation. We don't take on computer vision, demand forecasting or sensor/IoT models yet, and we'll say so on the first call.

How is VettedAI different from Upwork?+

Upwork gives you a pile of proposals and leaves the judging to you. We start by scoping the project with you, then hand-match one vetted specialist who has built something similar. VettedAI is AI-only, India-focused, and every expert passes 4 layers of vetting.

How does the matching work?+

After a 20-minute scoping call, you get a one-page scope within 48 hours. Then we hand-pick the right specialist from our vetted roster — no bidding, no algorithm guessing — and introduce you. You talk to them before anything starts.

What does the vetting process actually check?+

4 layers: (1) Technical — real AI work they've built and shipped. (2) Human review of thinking and communication. (3) Track record — delivery history and client references where available. (4) India context — understanding of Indian data, languages, regulations, and startup culture.

What does it cost as a founder?+

The scoping call and the one-page scope are free. Each project gets a fixed quote split into milestones, and you pay in INR via Razorpay after each milestone works — never upfront. VettedAI charges a 15% commission only on successful transactions, and you get a proper GST invoice.

Is this live, or still a waitlist?+

Live. Engagements are running and managed hands-on, and the first client delivery is done — the case study is linked above. The self-serve platform comes later; for now, you work directly with us.

I'm an AI expert. How do I apply?+

Use the expert link at the bottom of this page. You'll go through our 4-layer vetting; if you pass, you start getting matched to real projects from Indian startup founders.
