We build the data and machine learning platform that other people's AI runs on, and we install it on their own infrastructure. This page is who we are, what we build and how we work with the companies that use it.

## Muhammed Ensar Akbay, founder

I grew up working in a tailor's shop. I worked in a lot of jobs, from printing to sales. I left school in my final year of high school, moved to open high school, and without going to a single prep course, working entirely on my own, I placed first into the Economics department at METU. After the pandemic I ran a venue in Ankara, then left school and moved to Istanbul. And we opened our family restaurant.

Working an average of fifteen hours a day, I ran a team of twenty. I learned the ground end to end, from managing people to cash flow, from the supply chain to legal process.

In 2022 I stepped out and started coding. My first project was an arbitrage scanner watching more than two thousand five hundred coins live across fourteen exchanges. After the chatbots I sold under the name Deha AI, I met with more than thirty companies and pivoted. I collected what came out of those conversations in a booklet called “Artificial Intelligence for Organizations”, and started building DEHA Lab.

## What we build

DEHA Lab is one platform that covers the whole path from a raw table to a decision. It connects to your sources, cleans and profiles the data, holds a map of what that data means, runs agents on top of that map, predicts with machine learning, and shows every step of it in one console.

The layer that holds the meaning is called İDRAK. It learns how your company speaks, which different names describe the same thing, when your fiscal year starts, what an active customer is. AI answers from that map rather than from the whole world, and every answer carries the tables and records it was built from.

Everything built on the platform is also an API and an MCP tool, so what you build here plugs straight into the systems you already run.

## How we work

The platform is installed on your own infrastructure. Your business data stays there and we keep only the operational layer, which is the part that runs the work rather than the part that holds your numbers.

There is no trial to sign up for and nothing to evaluate on your own. We start with half an hour on a call, then we deploy it on your real sources rather than on a demo dataset, and then we go through the whole thing together with your team in the room.

We work in Turkish and in English, and this site is published in both.

## What we believe

A language model is powerful and it does not see meaning. It cannot tell what it does not know, which is why we do not put one at the center of a company. The model stays at the edge doing translation and synthesis, the work it is genuinely good at, and the discipline is built around it.

That is the short version. The long one is our manifesto, published in full with its sources, and it includes the four promises we refuse to make.

## Where to find us

We are based in Istanbul. The fastest way to reach us is ensar@dehalab.com, and the fastest way to see the platform is to pick a slot and meet us on a call.

## Checking that we exist

We are early, and there is no press coverage of us to find. Everything on this site is the company describing itself, which is worth knowing when you are reading it. These are the places outside this site that carry our name, so that it is not the only source.
