Agents that do the work. Not just talk about it.

Goal-oriented AI agents and conversational copilots that pick up the ticket, call the right tool, stay inside your policy — and finish the job. From customer support deflection to internal ops automation, we ship agents that have a job description, not a demo script.

What you get

A complete agent stack — not a wrapper around an LLM.

Six things every production agent needs. We ship all six, instrument all six, and own them on call.

Conversational copilots

Text agents grounded in your product, your data, and your tone of voice — with citations, not vibes.

RAG · citations · tone

Voice & phone agents

Low-latency speech agents (Whisper / Deepgram / 11Labs) that handle inbound calls, qualify leads, and warm-transfer to a human.

< 800ms p95

Multi-agent orchestration

Planner + worker + critic patterns with LangGraph or DSPy. Each agent has a narrow job — the supervisor handles the chaos.

LangGraph · DSPy

Tool & function calling

Typed actions on your real systems — Salesforce, Jira, your warehouse, your APIs. Strict schemas, dry-run mode, audit log.

strict schema · audit

Memory & long context

Short-term, episodic and semantic memory layers — the agent remembers what matters and forgets what shouldn't stick.

summary · vector · TTL

Guardrails & evaluation

Refusal policies, PII scrubbing, role-based access — plus an eval harness so quality is a number, not a hunch.

How it works

Plan, act, observe, repeat — safely.

A reference agent loop we’ve hardened across 40+ deployments. Every box is replaceable, every edge is auditable.

Agent loopPlan → Act → Observe

The same loop every senior engineer would build — just shipped on day one.

Most teams spend three months reinventing this. We bring it on the bus, you spend that time on the parts that are actually unique to your business.

  • 01
    Plan with structure, not freeform

    Typed plans (Pydantic / Zod) the model fills in, never a single “think step by step” prompt.

  • 02
    Act on real systems, with dry-run

    Every tool call is shadow-executed first in staging — you preview impact before it touches prod.

  • 03
    Observe with traces, not just logs

    Every run replayable in LangSmith / Braintrust. One-click diff between a good and a broken trace.

  • 04
    Improve from production data

    Failures become labeled examples. Eval suite grows. Quality is a number that goes up week over week.

Tech stack

A toolbox tuned for agents — not generic ML.

Every chip below has paid rent in a production deployment we operate. No buzzwords on the shelf.

From vision to victory

A four-week path to your first agent in production.

Same five-step rhythm whether it’s a support copilot or an outbound voice agent. No phase-zero theater.

01
Week 1
Define

Pick one task, agree the success metric in writing, identify the 3 tools the agent will call.

02
Week 1–2
Wire tools

Typed function specs, dry-run mode, sandbox auth. The agent can’t move money until you say so.

03
Week 2–3
Train & eval

Prompt + retrieval + policy. 50-case eval harness from your actual transcripts.

04
Week 3–4
Ship behind a flag

Canary 5% of traffic. Human-in-the-loop review queue. Compare against control.

05
Ongoing
Operate

Weekly eval review, drift watch, monthly retraining on labeled failures.

Where agents earn their keep

Three patterns that pay back fastest.

If your problem rhymes with one of these, we’ve got a head start — including an evaluation set, a baseline agent, and the failure modes we’ve already mapped.

Pattern · Customer support

Deflect & assist, never disappoint.

Tiered agent: deflects FAQs end-to-end, drafts replies for L1, summarizes for L2. Always offers a human, never gates the human behind a maze.
