When should I hire an AI developer in-house versus partnering with an AI development agency?

Hire in-house for strategic, ongoing AI needs that are core to your product. Partner with an agency for specific projects with clear deadlines, or to fill skill gaps at the start of a project. Agencies provide cross-discipline teams that can help move from prototype to production, especially when integration with existing web or mobile systems is required.
