In this report, we’ll outline our third-party research team’s findings on the top five AI companies in Dallas. Throughout their research, they examined 20+ software development firms across multiple AI use-case specialties to identify the best organization within each niche. They then ranked them based upon the criteria listed below.
- Notable Clients: Quality software development requires experience working with client companies of significant size with a variety of feature sets. A list of noteworthy clients offers readers a glimpse into the size and complexity of the projects that a given firm has successfully undertaken.
- Leadership Experience: This score was derived by evaluating a software developer’s leadership team with a specific focus on their software development experience. Some cross-disciplinary firms don’t prioritize dev-related service offerings.
- Company Size: Larger development teams are typically formed to accommodate a larger firm’s project. Larger companies may also require an accelerated timeline. Bigger isn’t always better, but size can result from a firm’s historical success.
- Specialization: Each firm’s area of specialization offers insight into how well it will fit a given client in the Dallas area.
The table below provides a brief description of each AI development firm’s notable clients, leadership experience, size, specialization and the types of applications for which each organization is best known.

Slalom has a strong reputation in the digital transformation and AI spaces. They provide AI development and strategy services for firms looking to update their online and back office tools while keeping their legacy systems intact. Slalom’s cost, scale and emphasis on preserving existing software stacks may not suit the needs of all clients – but for large companies seeking to modernize without a complete system replacement, they may serve as a reputable partner.
While not headquartered in the DFW area, Slalom is a company of such a large scale that they are utilized by many Dallas firms, so we included them on this list.

Due to their typical clientele, their pricing occupies the higher end of the scale. Similarly to Slalom, they don’t have an office in the DFW area, but because they’re a national leader in eCommerce and BigCommerce, we felt they should be included in the list for firms looking specifically for that use case.
This makes them a great option for eCommerce firms looking to take advantage of Digitlhaus marketing, branding and eCommerce software development services. These clients will get the most bang for their buck with Digitlhaus.
