Built by Engineers Who've Spent Decades Inside the Enterprise

We've guided hundreds of companies through transformational technology initiatives. That experience is what makes our AI transformation practice different.

Our Story

From Enterprise Engineering to AI Transformation

Mashbot was founded in 2012 by Jason Ihaia — an engineer who's spent his career building at the intersection of complex enterprise systems and elegant, human-centered solutions. What began with the acquisition of VisualCube has grown into a practice that has guided hundreds of companies through transformational technology initiatives.

We've helped organizations navigate cloud migrations, ERP implementations, M&A integrations, and platform modernizations. We've worked with Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Prudential, Caterpillar, Google, and dozens of other enterprises where the stakes are real and the complexity is structural.

That experience is what brought us here. We've seen most transformations fail for the same reason: the technology worked, but nobody redesigned the organization around it. Now, for the first time, we're seeing something different with AI — and we're determined that our clients don't make the same mistakes with this wave that they made with every previous one.

We've been in the rooms where these decisions get made. And we've lived through the consequences when they go wrong.

Cloud migrations. M&A integrations. Platform modernizations. Agile transitions. Every technology wave promised transformation. Most delivered complexity. We're here to make sure AI is different.

By the Numbers

Enterprise Experience. Transformation Results.

We're not theorists. We're not tool vendors. We're builders and operators who understand that enterprise transformation requires more than good technology — it requires organizational redesign, change management, governance, and the patience to get it right.

Our Values

What We Stand For

These aren't aspirations. They're how we operate — in every engagement, every conversation, and every problem we solve.

Be your best self

Always pushing to learn more and do better, because personal growth rocks.

Keep it real

Straight talk and transparency are our jam. We keep it honest and clear.

Fair and square

Being genuine and fair isn’t just nice, it’s how we roll.

“I've spent my career inside enterprise transformations — and I've watched most of them fail for the same reason: the technology worked, but nobody redesigned the organization around it. AI is different. For the first time, we have the opportunity to get speed and rigor at the same time. But only if we treat this as what it actually is — not a tools problem, but an organizational transformation. That's what we do. And we believe deeply that it must be done responsibly.”

FAQs

Common questions about how we work, what we build, and what it takes to move from experimenting with AI to operating with it.

It means going beyond buying AI tools. AI transformation is about redesigning how your organization works — restructuring workflows, redefining roles, deploying agents and custom models, and building the governance infrastructure to manage it all at enterprise scale.

Using ChatGPT or Copilot is a starting point, not a strategy. A transformation partner helps you move from ad hoc AI usage to systematic integration — purpose-built agents embedded in your workflows, custom models trained on your data, and governance frameworks that make it all enterprise-safe.

Agents handle specific tasks — analyzing data, routing requests, generating reports. Infrastructure is everything that keeps those agents reliable, compliant, and maintainable: monitoring, audit trails, access controls, model versioning, and the orchestration layer that ties them together.

Governance is built into every engagement from day one. We design audit trails, access controls, data handling policies, and compliance frameworks tailored to your industry — whether that’s SOX, HIPAA, SOC 2, or internal enterprise standards.

We work primarily with technology companies, large enterprises, and PE/VC-backed portfolio companies across finance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, and professional services. Our approach adapts to any regulated or complex enterprise environment.

It depends on scope. A focused agent deployment can take 4–8 weeks. A full workflow redesign with custom model development and governance infrastructure is typically a 3–6 month engagement. We scope every project during the Visualize phase before committing to timelines.

Both. For many use cases, fine-tuned versions of leading foundation models deliver excellent results. For enterprises with proprietary data and domain-specific requirements, we develop fully custom models. We recommend the right approach based on your data, use case, and cost considerations.

We integrate with your team, not replace them. Our engagements are designed to build internal capability — we work alongside your engineers, transfer knowledge throughout the process, and leave your team equipped to maintain and evolve the systems we build together.

Visualize: we map your current operations, identify AI opportunities, and design the target state. Realize: we build and deploy agents, models, and infrastructure. Optimize: we monitor performance, refine workflows, and scale what’s working. Each phase has clear deliverables and decision points.

Schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss where your organization stands today, where you want to go, and whether Mashbot is the right partner to get you there. No pitch decks — just a conversation about your business.
