About Umaku

Umaku was born out of a necessity. We have been running Omdena, Inc, for over 6 years and have executed over 600 AI projects, involving 5000+ AI Engineers. We saw that the same challenges keep coming back, project after project, in AI development. There was no other tool that could solve the challenges we were facing. So we decided to build a platform, initially for ourselves, but soon realized that such a tool can be of immense value to other organizations also building AI products.

Umaku comes from the Japanese word, which means ‘skillful’. This aligns well with our idea and brand, as we believe that this platform will help developers do skillful work.

Why Umaku Exists

AI product development is fundamentally different from traditional software development. Models evolve, requirements shift, and experimentation is constant — yet delivery expectations remain high.

Most teams are forced to adapt generic project management tools to workflows they were never designed to support.

As a result, AI teams struggle with:

Experimentation that moves fast, but lacks clear signals of delivery readiness
Quality and technical risk hidden deep inside code, models, and iterations
Growing gaps between business intent, tickets, and what actually gets built
Limited visibility for leaders without adding meetings, process, or overhead

Umaku exists to solve this.It brings structure, context, and governance into AI workflows — without slowing teams down or breaking how they work.

Measured Outcomes We Aim to Deliver

While every organization is different, teams that adopt structured AI delivery, context-aware reviews, and continuous governance typically observe measurable improvements across delivery, quality, and visibility.

15–30%improvement in delivery predictability and sprint reliability

20–35%earlier detection of delivery, quality, and logic risks

15–25%reduction in rework caused by late-stage defects and misalignment

30–45%increase in visibility across projects, teams, and stakeholders

These outcomes are driven by clearer signals, shared context, and proactive decision-making—not additional process overhead.

What We Do

We help organizations:

Track delivery readiness in real time
Align code quality with business logic
Monitor development progress across teams
Surface risks early through intelligent signals
Improve collaboration across engineering, product, and leadership
