What Semai AI does

Semai AI is a Turkey-based, founder-led boutique enterprise AI consultancy founded in 2024 by Mehmet Aksoy and headquartered in Gebze, Kocaeli. The firm deploys on-premise large language models, retrieval-augmented generation systems, and domain-specific fine-tuned models for Turkish regulated-industry buyers — principally banks subject to BDDK Article 6, healthcare organizations, government and defense agencies, and large manufacturing and service enterprises — that require KVKK and GDPR-compliant data sovereignty. Its core technology stack layers open-source base models (Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen) with proprietary serving infrastructure (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, NVIDIA NIM), RAG pipelines using BGE-M3 embeddings and ChromaDB, and PEFT/LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning, and offers four deployment modes spanning air-gapped on-premise, sovereign cloud hosted on Turkish infrastructure, customer VPC on AWS or Azure, and a semai-managed enclave pilot.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time software licenses for air-gapped deployments, monthly subscriptions for sovereign-cloud and managed-enclave offerings, and professional services for AI consulting, infrastructure planning, custom model training, and team enablement. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales — initiated via free 30-minute consultations and demo requests — with a system-integration partnership (Çözüm Ortaklığı) channel in which integrators deliver Semai AI solutions as sub-contractors under NDA. Semai AI also maintains two internal AI-native products, an autonomous multi-platform content distribution orchestrator and the OYI AI-powered security audit tool, and publishes a large-volume Turkish-language autonomous editorial blog and open-source GitHub projects in Turkish NLP and multi-modal AI. Academic collaborations with Marmara, Boğaziçi, ODTÜ, and İTÜ universities support research output and developer relations. The firm operates with a single identified founder and has not disclosed external funding.

The company specializes in KVKK/GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for regulated industries, with services spanning managed deployment and strategic AI consulting.

Product overview

Semai AI is an enterprise AI solutions provider offering a portfolio of on-premise AI services organized around data sovereignty and regulatory compliance (KVKK/GDPR). The core offering consists of four service lines: On-Premise LLM (open-source model deployment on customer infrastructure with zero data egress), RAG Sistemleri (retrieval-augmented generation connecting corporate documents to LLMs), Özel Model Eğitimi / Fine-Tuning (LoRA/QLoRA-based domain adaptation), and AI Ajanları (autonomous agents with tool-calling and workflow automation). Supporting services include multi-modal Ses & Görüntü AI (Whisper STT, computer vision) and AI Danışmanlığı. The company also maintains two internal products: OYI (AI-powered security audit tool) and Otonom İçerik Dağıtım Orkestratörü (autonomous multi-platform social media publishing orchestrator). Deployment spans four models (Air-Gapped On-Premise, Sovereign Cloud Turkey, Customer VPC, semai-Managed Enclave) supported by a technology stack including vLLM/TensorRT-LLM/NIM, LangChain/LangGraph/CrewAI, and ChromaDB/pgvector/Qdrant.

Broad incumbents

• Together AI: Open-source AI infrastructure provider offering model serving, fine-tuning, and dedicated deployment including private cloud options. Comparable as a broader open-source AI infrastructure incumbent that could compete for on-premise and sovereign AI workloads.
• Capgemini Engineering: Global IT services and AI/ML engineering firm with deep enterprise and regulated industry relationships. Broad incumbent competing in the AI consulting, integration, and deployment services market that Semai addresses at a fraction of the scale.
• KoçSistem: One of Turkey's largest IT services and system integrators, part of the Koç Group, with significant enterprise AI and digital transformation engagements. Broad incumbent operating across many verticals and competing in the same enterprise AI services pool as Semai, but with much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Databricks: Enterprise data and AI platform covering MLOps, model serving, and Mosaic AI. Broad incumbent competing for the same enterprise AI/ML workloads that Semai serves, with much larger scale, full managed cloud offering, and growing on-prem/VPC capabilities.

Emerging players

• Mistral AI: European open-source LLM provider with strong sovereign AI positioning and self-deployment story. Comparable as a partner/ecosystem player whose models Semai deploys; also a potential competitor in enterprise on-premise LLM deployment in EU/regulated markets.
• Aleph Alpha: European sovereign AI company focused on regulated, compliance-heavy enterprise deployments (government, defense, regulated industries). Highly comparable to Semai in market positioning and customer profile, though based in Germany and serving EU rather than Turkey.

Direct peers

• Tazi.ai: Turkey-based AI/ML platform company offering automated machine learning and data science solutions to enterprises. Directly comparable as a domestic Turkish AI vendor serving regulated and enterprise customers with deployment flexibility and Turkish-language expertise.
• SambaNova Systems: US-based provider of on-premise AI infrastructure (DataScale) purpose-built for secure, sovereign LLM deployment. Closest direct peer to Semai's air-gapped on-premise LLM offering, competing for the same regulated-industry and government customers with full-stack hardware plus software.
• OBSS: Major Turkish IT services and AI consulting firm serving enterprise and regulated customers. Comparable as a domestic Turkish services provider with AI/ML delivery capabilities, though broader in scope (cloud, data, dev) than Semai's AI-only focus.

Others

• Hugging Face: Open-source AI platform hosting models, datasets, and inference tooling that Semai's stack relies on (e.g., Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen, BGE-M3). Adjacent ecosystem participant and enabler rather than direct competitor, but increasingly pushes into enterprise deployment with Enterprise Hub.
