Norman is an AI deployment platform that lets users publish machine learning models and expose them as API endpoints in three simple steps. The platform provides an SDK that enables developers to upload models from any source, configure input/output schemas, and instantly share working endpoints. Norman simplifies the path from trained model to production-ready API with minimal configuration overhead.

Problem
Deploying machine learning models to production typically requires significant infrastructure setup, complex containerization, and extensive API development work. Data scientists and developers often struggle with the gap between training a model and making it accessible to end users, leading to delayed deployment and underutilized AI capabilities.
Solution
Norman provides a streamlined platform that transforms any trained model into a production-ready API endpoint in three straightforward steps. Users upload their model from a server, cloud drive, or local laptop, then define the invocation configuration specifying input and output formats. The platform handles the underlying infrastructure, making the endpoint instantly available for sharing and distribution. A lightweight Python SDK simplifies integration, requiring only an API key and a minimal configuration object to get started. Norman abstracts away deployment complexity, allowing users to focus on model development rather than operational concerns.
Target Audience
Primary users are data scientists, ML engineers, and AI developers who need to quickly deploy and test machine learning models without managing infrastructure, as well as teams seeking a simple way to expose models to internal or external stakeholders.
