About Mama AI and Telma AI
MAMA AI develops the core AI technologies behind our solutions. Our team conducts cutting-edge AI research spanning large language models, speech technologies, neural networks, semantic search, content generation, and AI applications in chemistry and drug discovery. Building on decades of experience and close collaboration with IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in New York and Prague, we push the boundaries of applied AI and turn research into production-ready technologies.
TELMA AI transforms these technologies into real-world products and customer solutions. We develop advanced AI applications across conversational AI, voice AI, LLMs, AI agents, and machine translation, helping organizations automate complex workflows and deliver practical AI solutions with measurable business impact.
Joining our group means working at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and real-world product development alongside experienced researchers and engineers in a fast-growing international environment.
