What we build
Four ways to put AI to work
The AI industry sells you the biggest hammer it has. We build the exact tool your job needs — smaller, faster, cheaper, and running on hardware you control.
Small Language Models
Replace expensive flagship LLMs on narrow tasks — same quality, a fraction of the bill.
See how ↓Computer Vision
Object detection, recognition, inspection — any narrow-purpose neural network, custom-built.
See how ↓Automation & Robotics
Cameras, microphones, GPUs, speakers, and simple actuators — systems that watch the world and act.
See how ↓Virtual Employees
Software that operates computers like a person — browsers, desktops, legacy apps. No APIs needed.

Flagship results.
Fraction of the cost.
Most business AI tasks are narrow: classify this ticket, extract that field, summarize this document. You don't need a trillion-parameter model for that — and you shouldn't be paying for one. We train small, specialized language models that match or beat the big-name LLMs on your specific task.
- Typical token-cost reduction of 90% or more
- Millisecond responses instead of multi-second waits
- Runs on your own hardware — your data never leaves the building
- Fine-tuned, distilled, and maintained for your exact workload
02 — Computer Vision & Custom Networks
If a camera can see it,
we can detect it.
Object detection, recognition, counting, defect inspection, OCR — any narrow-purpose neural network, designed and trained for your job. Production lines, loading docks, safety zones, retail floors: a model that watches around the clock and never gets tired.
- Detection, recognition, and tracking of anything visible
- Quality control and defect inspection at production speed
- Counting, measuring, and monitoring — automatically logged
- Runs on modest edge hardware, right next to the camera
03 — Automation & Robotics
See. Think. Act.
We connect cameras, GPUs, speakers, relays, and simple robotic actuators into systems that watch the real world and respond in real time. Not science-fiction robots — practical, affordable machines that do one job perfectly, twenty-four hours a day.
- Vision-guided sorting, counting, and pick-and-place
- Spoken alerts and announcements triggered by what the camera sees
- Gates, doors, lights, and alarms controlled by AI decisions
- Built from off-the-shelf hardware — a camera, a GPU, and the right software
04 — Virtual Employees
An employee that
never sleeps.
Our Virtual Employee runs on a VM and operates software exactly the way a person does — browsers, desktop applications, legacy systems, admin panels — through the same screens your staff use. No APIs required. No changes to your existing systems. It logs in, clicks, types, files, and reports back.
- Works with any software a human can operate — even 20-year-old systems
- No integration project: it uses the screen, keyboard, and mouse
- Complete audit trail of every action taken
- Need more throughput? Add another VM.
Live Demos
Seeing is believing.
Watch a small model outperform a flagship LLM on your own data. Watch a virtual employee do real work on a real screen. We'll show you the results before you spend a cent.
About Iron Media
Decades of hard problems, solved.
Iron Media is led by an AI engineer with four decades of software behind him and a career built on the problems nobody else could crack: at IBM, at Upland Software, and for clients including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Shell, and the US Navy. Machine learning isn't a pivot for us. We were building neural networks long before they were fashionable — and today we build the small, sharp, affordable kind that actually ships and actually pays.
