# Ataraxy

> Ataraxy is an applied-AI agency based in Montevideo, Uruguay, operating across LATAM and the US. We embed senior AI leadership, build production AI systems, and transfer capability, infrastructure, and ownership to the client's team. We don't advise and leave - we build, deploy, and hand over the keys.

Founded by Federico Imparatta (Co-founder & CEO) and Martín Alcalde Gillespie (Co-founder & CTO). Co-owned by White Pearl Technology Group AB (https://whitepearltech.com). Deliberately small: two senior founders running every engagement directly, scaling through strategic partners (feed.fm, Mux, focus.uy, Everest Sales, Hatch) and a network of trusted local agencies.

## How we work

1. Embed - we operate inside your structure, learning workflows and constraints before building.
2. Build - production systems shipped in weeks: agents, automations, workflow transformations.
3. Transfer - capability, infrastructure, and data end up in the client's hands. We stay available; we don't stay necessary.
