ANML Reviews & Testimonials
Manuel Colom
UX Director at Yummly
5.0★
Product Design Review from Manuel Colom
Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.
Nathan Thornburgh
CEO at Roads and Kingdoms
5.0★
Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh
As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.
Alex Lacerda
Art Director at Ernie Ball / Music Man
5.0★
Web Design Review from Alex Lacerda
We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward.
ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today.
Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout.
The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.

Web Design Review from Kathleen Livingston
We recently hired Burst Digital to redesign and rebuild our company website. As we are in a competitive industry, we needed a site that was not only visually aspirational but also practical on the back end: easy to maintain and update. Burst Agency managed every aspect of the redesign process from copywriting and art direction to web design and technical execution.
What truly sets Burst Agency apart is their collaborative approach. Their team was consistently communicative, responsive, and results-oriented throughout both the design and build phase, and their support continued well beyond the launch. Their commitment to our project made them not just a service provider but a long-term partner in our success.
I highly recommend Burst Digital to any business looking to elevate its online presence. Their comprehensive service and dedication to quality make them a standout partner in today's digital landscape.

Full Circle Healthcare Solutions's Review Sourced from Google
Although I have responded to be removed from this person‘s spamming emails, they still continue to email me over and over again. This is borderline rude and an excusable since I have responded to those emails to be opted out. Regardless of the business the way that you represent it is not how I do business. Normally I don’t leave responses but after three or four times of receiving the same emails when requesting to be opted out I figured this was the best place to post.

I have experience working with the rollout.ai team prior to their official launch. I can vouch for their breadth and depth knowledge in this space as they helped me navigate IT issues that were beyond my level of comprehension. They were quick to identify, isolate and find a solve that didn't require me to spend the capital that I thought was needed to remedy my situation.
Above all, the team was great to work with and clearly explained the cause and how to mitigate in the future. I'd be happy to work with them again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Top AI Companies in San Francisco
Why is San Francisco considered the global AI hub?
San Francisco has become the global center for artificial intelligence (AI) because it concentrates talent, money, and infrastructure in one place. The city and the wider San Francisco Bay Area received more than 50% of all United States AI funding in 2025, driven by major venture firms like Andreessen Horowitz.
This funding wave supports a dense ecosystem of startups, from early-stage Y Combinator teams to mature Series B companies. With OpenAI, Anthropic, and Scale AI based here, the region has become the top destination for any machine learning or software engineer who wants to work at the center of the AI boom.
What kind of AI services can I find in San Francisco?
In San Francisco, you can find every type of artificial intelligence service imaginable. Many clients work with an AI development company to build a custom AI tool or a smart AI agent that can talk to customers. There are also experts in predictive analytics who help businesses use data to see the future and make better insights.
If you need a specific solution, the city has many startups that offer AI consulting to help you pick the right AI model. You can find a machine learning engineer to help with computer vision or a software development team to build a new mobile app development project.
From generative AI to AI safety, the San Francisco Bay Area has the right AI innovation for any goal.
How much do AI services typically cost?
The cost to hire AI developers typically ranges from $150 to $250 per hour. Total costs are driven by solution complexity: the more advanced the system, the higher the build time, data requirements, and long-term maintenance.

Beyond the initial build, a founder must plan for ongoing expenses. Data preparation often consumes 25–30% of the budget, and once live, the system will also require regular maintenance. This typically costs 15–20% of the original price each year to cover AI model retraining and infrastructure.
What is the typical ROI for AI solutions?
According to the IDC study supported by Microsoft, the typical return on investment (ROI) for generative AI is about $3.50 for every $1 invested. For the top 5% of organizations worldwide, the "frontier firms," that return can reach as high as $8.
While some clients see results in under 6 months, the average organization realizes a positive return within 14 months of its initial investment.
How do AI companies in San Francisco handle data security and bias?
Managing data security is challenging because hackers use their own AI systems to identify vulnerabilities. To fight back, AI development companies use "differential privacy," which adds mathematical "noise" to data, so the AI model can learn patterns without ever seeing a specific person’s real info.
AI companies in the San Francisco Bay Area must conduct a "bias audit" under new laws, including the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (TFAIA), also known as SB 53. They must demonstrate exactly how their AI applications make decisions to ensure they aren't inadvertently discriminating on the basis of race or gender.
Even with these tools, AI safety is never 100% finished. As generative AI gets smarter, companies must continually update their solutions to prevent "jailbreaking" and new types of data leaks.
