How we vet AI specialists
Last updated 9 August 2026
Every profile in this directory was reviewed by a person at Orchestra before it went live. No one can pay to be listed, and no profile is published automatically.
What we look for
- A real, current practice. An active portfolio, studio site, or body of work we can independently find and verify.
- AI-first work. Evidence of shipping AI products or integrating AI into real client work, not just interest in it.
- Australian-based. Specialists who are local and contactable.
- A clear offer. You should be able to tell within a sentence what they'd do for you.
What happens after you apply
Applications land with our editors as drafts. We review the work, sometimes ask follow-up questions, and either publish the profile or explain why not. Listings aren't forever: we remove profiles that go quiet or no longer reflect the work.
What vetting isn't
It's not a background check or a guarantee of outcomes. Always do your own due diligence before engaging anyone. Vetting means we believe the practice is real and the work is good, nothing more.
