I hired Octaloop Technologies for an AI project with a clear, signed "Definition of Done" requiring 85%–95% accuracy. After 1.5 years and two separate contract scopes, the agency not only failed but the product actually regressed from 70% accuracy to a non-functional 10%–15%.
The Agency (Octaloop):
Contractual Breach: They officially admitted that reaching the milestones they signed for is "not feasible".
Payment Extortion: Despite our agreement stating payments are due after milestones, they held my project hostage and demanded $4,000 upfront to continue.
Incompetence: I provided a massive dataset of 2,000+ drawings, yet they could not deliver basic functions like window/door editing (Task #7).
Manipulation: They pressured me to close the first contract to "protect their metrics," a clear tactic to hide their inability to finish the work.
The Platform:
I am deeply disappointed that the platform refused a refund despite clear evidence of a material breach of a signed contract. By failing to intervene when an agency admits they cannot deliver what they were paid for, the platform is protecting bad actors rather than honest clients.
Summary: Octaloop focuses on high-quality front-ends to hide the fact that their back-end AI is a "joke" and does not work. If you have a complex project, stay away—they will take your money, miss their targets, and demand more to fix their own mistakes.
