Artefact review

A 2,500 person data and AI consultancy, Paris led, with a Manhattan office.

Verdict

Artefact is a Paris headquartered data and AI consultancy with a New York office at 135 W 26th Street and 2,500 people by its homepage. It sells AI for customers, operations and support functions, from supply chain and procurement to finance, HR and legal, plus an AI and GenAI Factory offer. Its named clients are long and real: Danone, Heineken, L'Oreal, Sanofi, Unilever, Burger King and more. It ranks ninth for this page because almost every name it lists is a European enterprise, and nothing on the pages we read shows what the New York team has delivered for a United States company.

What customers praise

Few firms here name so many clients. The split of its people, 1,050+ consultants, 450+ data scientists and 350+ engineers by its homepage, says it can staff both strategy and build.

What customers criticise

No price. Its record is mostly European, so ask for New York references. A mid-sized United States company will be a small account.

Best for

A consumer brand or retailer with a New York office that wants data and AI work across marketing, customer service and operations from a firm with 1,050+ consultants.
