Great Experience With Palestra Digital on Our AI & Machine Learning Project

Dan Foster / Director of Technology | Aug 05, 2026

Palestra Digital did an excellent job for us. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

I would recommend Palestra Digital to anyone looking for a dependable AI & Machine Learning partner.

Project summary

Palestra Digital was brought in to add an AI chatbot to our support site that answers questions from our help docs. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The engagement ran for about 9 months.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Mobile App Development Team

Ethan Gagnon / IT Manager | Jun 27, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. I would recommend Palestra Digital to anyone looking for a dependable Mobile App Development partner.

Project summary

Our company worked with Palestra Digital to build iOS and Android apps for our customers, including booking, payments and push notifications. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The project took roughly 7 months from kickoff to launch.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Lucy Shaw / Project Manager | Jun 20, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Palestra Digital. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. I would recommend Palestra Digital to anyone looking for a dependable AI & Machine Learning partner.

Project summary

We hired Palestra Digital to build a demand forecasting model on top of our sales data. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 2 months from kickoff to launch.

Anna Hoffmann / Co-Founder & CTO | Jun 20, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. 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. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Capable Mobile App Development team — happy with the end result

Sam Wilson / Senior Product Manager | Apr 08, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. We would definitely work with them again.

Our company worked with Palestra Digital to build iOS and Android apps for our customers, including booking, payments and push notifications. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The engagement ran for about 9 months.

Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Ashley Graham / VP of Engineering | Mar 15, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary
