LeewayHertz

LeewayHertz is an AI development company founded in 2007 that builds enterprise-grade AI applications and technology solutions for Fortune 500 companies and startups worldwide. The firm was acquired by The Hackett Group, a deal that expanded its AI strategy consulting practice. Its work spans the United States and international markets.

The company's technical work covers generative AI, computer vision, natural language processing, IoT, Web3, the metaverse and blockchain. Services include AI strategy consulting, custom model development, and the integration and deployment of AI solutions into client businesses, alongside mobile app development. LeewayHertz reports having designed and developed more than 100 digital platforms across these technology stacks. It was one of the first companies to build and launch a commercial app on Apple's App Store.

Named clients include ESPN, NASCAR, Hershey's, McKinsey, P&G, Siemens, 3M and Pearson, drawn from sectors such as sports and entertainment, consumer packaged goods, consulting, industrial and manufacturing, and education and publishing. The firm describes its team as certified experts and positions itself as a comprehensive technology partner rather than a vendor, working with both large enterprises and early-stage companies.
