AI agents for workflows that need to take action, not just answer questions.

We design agents around approved tools, scoped data access, human review points and measurable task outcomes — then run them with the evaluation and monitoring a production system needs.

What we deliver
  • Task and permission design
  • Tool and system connectors
  • Orchestration and guardrails
  • Evaluation suite
  • Review console and audit trail
  • Monitoring and runbook

Where this helps

Work stalls between systems
A person reads a ticket, looks something up in two other tools, updates a record and sends a reply. Each step is simple; the handoffs are what take the time.
A chatbot answers, but nothing gets done
The assistant can explain the refund policy but cannot issue the refund, so every conversation still ends in a queue for a person.
Pilots that never reach production
A prototype agent works in a demo but nobody can say what it is allowed to do, how it fails, or how you would know it made a mistake.

What we deliver

01
Task and permission design
A written map of the task, the tools the agent may call, what it may change on its own, and what always goes to a person for approval.
02
Tool and system connectors
Scoped, logged connections to your CRM, ERP, ticketing, databases or internal APIs, using the agent's own identity rather than a shared admin key.
03
Orchestration and guardrails
The agent loop itself — planning, tool calls, retries, limits on spend and steps, and a safe fallback when it is unsure.
04
Evaluation suite
A set of realistic test tasks with expected outcomes, run before every release so quality changes are measured rather than guessed.
05
Review console and audit trail
A place where people approve pending actions, see what the agent did and why, and correct it.
06
Monitoring and runbook
Dashboards for task success, escalations, cost and latency, plus a runbook for what the team does when something drifts.

How it works

  1. 01

    Task discovery

    We sit with the people who do the work today, pick one bounded task with a clear success measure, and record a baseline.

  2. 02

    Design the boundaries

    Tools, permissions, approval points and failure behaviour are agreed and written down before any build starts.

  3. 03

    Build and connect

    We implement the agent and its connectors in short iterations, testing against real (or realistic) cases each week.

  4. 04

    Evaluate

    The agent runs against the evaluation set and in shadow mode alongside the team until results meet the agreed bar.

  5. 05

    Release in stages

    Start with human approval on every action, then relax approvals only where the evidence supports it.

  6. 06

    Operate and improve

    We monitor, review failures with your team and expand the agent's scope one task at a time.

Design decisions we make with you

  • Autonomy level

    Which actions the agent can take on its own, which need approval, and which it may never take. This is a business decision, not a model setting.

  • Identity and access

    The agent gets its own credentials with least-privilege scopes, so every action is attributable and revocable.

  • Model choice

    We pick models per step — a smaller, cheaper model for routing, a stronger one for reasoning — and keep the choice swappable.

  • Cost and latency

    Step limits, caching and model routing keep per-task cost predictable; we report it alongside quality.

  • Ownership

    You own the code, prompts, evaluation sets and logs. The system runs in your environment or ours, by agreement.

Questions buyers ask

A chatbot holds a conversation and answers questions. An agent can also take actions in other systems — create a ticket, update a record, issue a refund — within the limits you set. Many projects start as a chatbot and add agent actions once the answers are reliable.

Three layers: the agent only has credentials for the tools and scopes it needs; risky actions require a person to approve them; and hard limits cap steps, spend and the size of any change. Every action is logged with the reasoning behind it.

No. We need access to the systems the task touches and a set of real examples. Data gaps usually show up in the first two weeks, and we fix the ones that block the task rather than cleaning everything.

You do — code, prompts, evaluation sets and configuration. See how we work for engagement terms.
