AI Agent Development

Most AI agents get cancelled. Ours get audited.

Over 40% of enterprise agent projects will be scrapped by 2027. Every one we ship carries the three things the scrapped ones didn't: a human approval gate, an evaluation score, and a complete audit trail. Built by the team the World Bank and the European Union already trust.

The Anatomy

Every agent ships with the same skeleton.

Whether it's a single agentic AI workflow or a multi-agent system with several specialists coordinating, the underlying loop below is what we build first, every time.

See It Work

Three agents, mid-task - not mockups.

Same loop, three different jobs. Each one is paused where a well-built agent should pause - at a human checkpoint, not after shipping something unreviewed.

What We Build

Six things, done properly, or not at all.

Not a feature list to pick from - a bar every build has to clear before it ships.

01

Agent Buildout

The planning loop, tool calls, and retries that turn a model into a worker - on your workflow, not a demo one.

Non-negotiable
02

RAG Grounding

Answers cite your documents, with retrieval you can inspect. No model-memory guessing on company facts.

Non-negotiable
03

Tool & MCP Integration

Your CRM, ERP, and APIs wired in with least-privilege scopes. The agent gets exactly the access the task needs.

Non-negotiable
04

Guardrail Engineering

Approval gates on consequential actions, input/output validation, and hard limits the agent cannot talk its way past.

Non-negotiable
05

Evals & Red-Teaming

A regression suite and adversarial tests that score the agent before launch and after every change. Quality in numbers, not adjectives.

Non-negotiable
06

Run Operations

Step tracing, audit logs, cost monitoring, and alerting - so the 2 a.m. question "what did it do?" always has an answer.

Non-negotiable

How It Runs

Ten weeks, six checkpoints, no mystery.

  1. Pick the Workflow01 · Wk 1

    One measurable workflow, one success metric, agreed in writing.

  2. Design the Cage First02 · Wk 1-2

    Tool scopes, approval gates, and data boundaries before any agent code.

  3. Build & Wire03 · Wk 2-6

    Agent loop, RAG, and integrations - working increments every sprint.

  4. Score It04 · Wk 6-8

    Eval suite and red-teaming produce a number before real data ever flows.

  5. Go Live, Gated05 · Wk 8-10

    Production on real work, with humans approving anything consequential.

  6. Earn Autonomy06 · Ongoing

    Gates loosen only where the score says so. Expansion is a decision, not drift.

Freelance AI Consultant

  • What survives the demoDepends entirely on one person's skill and availability
  • Tool accessWhatever access you grant them personally, hard to audit after
  • When it acts on something bigDepends on whether they thought to add a gate
  • Quality after a model updateRarely retested unless you pay for it
  • Who you talk toOne person - no backup if they're unavailable or move on
  • ReviewsPlatform reviews only, hard to verify AI-specific work
  • Your riskHourly and open-ended - cost grows with iteration
  • The codeUsually yours, but no support after handoff

In-House AI Team

  • What survives the demoA slow build while your team learns agent engineering from scratch
  • Tool accessUsually broad, since your own team already has internal access
  • When it acts on something bigDepends on your team's experience with production AI risk
  • Quality after a model updatePossible, but competes with your team's other priorities
  • Who you talk toYour own team, but they're learning agent engineering on your dime
  • ReviewsN/A - internal build, no external track record
  • Your riskSalary and hiring cost, whether or not the pilot works out
  • The codeFully yours, but no external accountability if it stalls

Held To In Writing

Our risk, not just yours.

The table above tells you what you get. These are the terms behind it - the parts that hold even after you sign.

Fixed-Price Scoping

The number from your free scoping call is the number you're billed. Anything outside scope gets a separate quote before we touch it - never a surprise line.

One-Business-Day Response

You email the engineer on your project, not a support queue. Every message gets a reply within one business day, every time.

No Silent Model Swaps

If a model or vendor changes mid-build, you're told and the eval suite re-runs before anything ships. Nothing changes under you without a number attached.

The Arsenal

Every major model. Zero vendor lock-in.

The same agentic AI stack, whichever models and frameworks your workflow needs.

The Range

Eight kinds of agents this process has produced - not a menu, a track record.

Every one of these was custom-scoped and built the same disciplined way you just read about, not assembled from a template.

01
Support

Support & Ticket Agents

Triage, draft replies, and route escalations across your ticket queue - human approval on anything above a set risk threshold.

Sales

Sales & Lead-Qualification Agents

Qualify inbound leads against your criteria, ask the right follow-up questions, and hand off only what's worth a rep's time.

Documents

Document & Contract Agents

Extract terms, flag non-standard clauses, and route anything ambiguous straight to legal instead of a manual read-through.

Extract › Flag › Route

Review › Test › Report
08

Before You Ask

The questions that decide this. Straight answers.

Gartner projects over 40% cancellation by 2027, and the reasons repeat: nobody scoped one workflow, the agent had ungoverned access to systems, and there was no score to prove it worked. Every one of those is an engineering decision, not a model limitation. We make the opposite decisions on day one.

A live agent on one real workflow, with scoped tool access, a human approval gate on consequential actions, an evaluation suite with a baseline score, full audit logs, and documentation. All code and IP are yours. Typical pilots run 6-10 weeks.

Three checkable ways: we've never asked a client for a review (4.9 on Clutch, 66 unsolicited reviews across platforms), you interview the actual engineers before kickoff and get free replacement if someone isn't a fit, and you can trial us free for 7 days on a real task before spending anything.

Specialist support starts at $15/hour and dedicated squads from $1,000/month. A scoped agent pilot is typically a 6-10 week engagement, and most pilots land in the $8K-$25K range depending on integration count and eval depth; we quote it fixed after a free scoping call, and the estimate you get is the estimate we hold. Ongoing model-inference cost (the LLM API bill) is separate, scales with usage, and you see the actual number in the eval report before going live - never a surprise line item.

Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Llama, and Mistral models; LangChain and LlamaIndex orchestration; Pinecone and Weaviate vector stores; MCP tool servers; plus eval harnesses and step tracing we run on every engagement. We pick per workload and you're never locked to one vendor.

That's the design. Autonomy is a dial: agents start human-gated on everything consequential, and gates loosen only where evaluation scores earn it. You always see the score before the gate moves.

Your data stays in your environment - we don't route it through a shared multi-tenant store. Every agent gets least-privilege, per-task tool scopes instead of a blanket API key, and you can narrow or revoke access at any time. Full audit logs attribute every action to a specific run, and a hard kill switch is part of the standard build, not an add-on.

Talk to an engineer. There is no salesperson.

One free call. You leave with an honest read on your workflow, a pilot scope, and a number - whether or not you hire us.
