Why it works for AI/ML companies
The AI market is saturated with overpromising, which has made technical buyers deeply skeptical. They want to see the model or system handle a real task, edge cases included, not a cherry-picked highlight reel. A creator who builds with AI and shows your product working on a genuine problem cuts through the hype because their audience trusts them to call out vaporware.
Evaluation in this category is hands-on and fast-moving. Practitioners benchmark, compare, and share findings in public, and a credible voice testing your product in the open carries enormous weight. The flip side is that an inflated claim gets dismantled just as publicly, so the right partner is one who will be honest about capabilities and limits.
Marquee connects you to AI builders and researchers with public rates and direct booking. You avoid the agency layer that cannot tell a transformer from a decision tree, see the real cost up front, and keep payment in escrow until the work meets your standard.
