What Swarm does

Swarm Tech, Inc. is a Philippine-incorporated AI consulting firm that delivers enterprise generative-AI solutions through a fractional-consulting model it calls "Hives." The company connects mid-market and Fortune 100 clients with elite AI practitioners sourced from FAANG and Fortune 500 employers, providing end-to-end services from AI strategy and roadmap through model implementation, MLOps, and production deployment. Swarm positions itself against the high failure rate of enterprise AI projects, citing that more than 90% of AI initiatives fail to go live due to talent scarcity, security concerns, and unrealistic expectations.

The company has built a portfolio of proprietary AI products organized around agentic workflow automation. BetterBrain is a customizable Intelligent Document Processing platform that uses fine-tuned models to extract structured data, classify documents, and trigger agentic workflows across ERPs, accounting tools, and approval chains, with claims of up to 95% manual workload reduction. NexAI extends this capability to email-driven ERP and procurement automation, exporting structured outputs as JSON, CSV, or directly into SQL. Vijil is a trust-and-safety platform providing automated testing, Trust Scores, and real-time defense against prompt injection, hallucinations, and data leakage for AI agents. Ada is a conversational AI platform for contact-center automation spanning chat, voice, email, and messaging. The platform is integrated with strategic technology partners AWS and NVIDIA, with a flagship OpenAI partnership announced for 2025 and upcoming integrations with Databricks, Snowflake, and Zilliz.

Swarm operates a hybrid revenue model that combines project-based and retainer-based professional services with a "Hive" partner program in which boutique consultancies join as delivery teams and gain access to proprietary deal flow, exclusive partner benefits, and back-office support. Customer logos include Cisco, Samsung, Amazon, IBM, Hugging Face, EY, Unilever, and Paperspace, alongside startup and mid-market clients such as CREA, SiteRecon, Consero Global, SensorsCall, and Pienso. The company reports 100+ AI projects deployed across 12 countries and was bootstrapped on a $1.1 million pre-seed round in November 2023 led by Hustle Fund and Plug and Play. Headquartered in Manila with a Singapore APAC office, Swarm remains a small team (1-10 reported employees) and is founder-led by Co-Founder and CEO Dexter Ligot-Gordon and Co-Founder and Chief Design Officer Alexis Collado.
