Skilled AI & Machine Learning Team That Understood Our Business

Thabo Naidoo / Managing Director | Sep 04, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We hired Bent Media to add an AI chatbot to our support site that answers questions from our help docs. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The engagement ran for about 3 months.

Honest advice and solid execution

Anna Becker / Director of IT | Aug 28, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team.

We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Game Development Team

Amy Ahmed / Senior Engineering Manager | Jul 29, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Bent Media. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Our company worked with Bent Media to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 7-month engagement.

Bent Media Delivered a Quality AI & Machine Learning Solution on Time

Sean O'Connor / Senior Engineering Manager | Jun 02, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Bent Media. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.
