Custom AI Agents

Built for real users, not controlled demos. Architecture, evaluation, and guardrails that handle what your team can’t predict.

What’s included

Agents that execute, not just respond. We design, build, and deploy AI agents around your specific workflows, data, and systems. Tested against reality, not just happy paths.

Agent architecture

Reasoning, tools, memory, and failure modes designed around your use case.

Tool integrations

Agents wired into your APIs, databases, and internal systems to take real action.

Evaluation framework

Real-scenario testing so you can measure reliability and catch regressions.

Production deployment

Monitoring, guardrails, and documentation your team can own without us.

There’s a million ways to get agents wrong. Most of them start with building too much too fast. Aim small, miss small. One agent, one job, built right — hours of work in seconds.

How it works

From use case to deployed agent

01

Define the job

We map inputs, decisions, actions, and edge cases. The architecture gets locked before a single prompt is written.

02

Build and evaluate

Iterative development with structured evaluation at every step. We test against real scenarios, not happy paths.

03

Deploy and hand off

Production deployment with monitoring, guardrails, and documentation so your team owns the agent going forward.

At a glance

Measurable impact

Agents that handle the work your team shouldn’t be doing manually. Fewer hours lost to repetitive decisions, faster execution on the tasks that used to bottleneck.

Demo to production

Agents built to survive real data, real edge cases, and real users

Evals from day one

Catch model drift and regressions before your customers do

Built for

Built for teams ready to put AI to work

Hit a wall

You built something that works in demos but breaks in production. Reliability is the gap.

Operations-heavy

Repetitive workflows that require judgment but shouldn’t require a human every time.

Platform companies

AI-powered features are core to your product and the architecture has to be right from the start.

Under mandate

Leadership wants agents deployed and you need help delivering something that actually works.

FAQ
