What Sunflower Lab does

Sunflower Lab is a US-based AI and automation services company founded in 2010, headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio with a regional office in Somerset, New Jersey. The firm builds custom AI agents, generative AI and LLM applications, intelligent document processing, voice AI, and Microsoft Power Platform solutions (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI) for enterprise and mid-market clients, and operates a Human + AI Lane delivery lifecycle that pairs senior engineers with autonomous agents across Ideate, Design, Build, Test, Ship, and Evolve stages. Its technology stack spans AI agents, RAG, conversational AI, computer vision, NLP, RPA via UiPath, Databricks on Azure, and AWS-based deployments, with four flagship technology partnerships (Microsoft, Databricks, AWS, UiPath) and a dedicated healthcare AI platform partnership with Calyxr.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services engagements (custom AI agent development, automation consulting, and implementation projects) priced on a quote basis with project-based budget tiers up to $150,000+, supplemented by post-deployment managed services and retainer arrangements. A new portfolio of pre-built automation solutions (IDP, Invoice Automation, Purchase Order Automation, Onboarding/Offboarding Automation) indicates a partial shift toward productized offerings.
