AI agents
Custom AI agents for the work your team repeats every week.
We build AI agents that answer leads, chase invoices, screen candidates and keep your SEO moving, for businesses doing $2M to $20M. Each one is built in your own accounts in three to six weeks, and we run it every month.
What we build
What AI agents do we build?
Every lead, answered.
The agent reads each enquiry, checks it against your CRM and past deals, and drafts the reply. A person approves it before it sends.
Invoices chased on schedule.
The agent matches each invoice to its payment and drafts the reminder for anything overdue. A person approves anything that moves money.
Candidates screened.
The agent writes the brief, screens applicants against it and books the interviews. The hiring decision stays with your manager.
The support inbox, answered.
The agent answers common requests from your own documents and hands everything else to a named person.
SEO that keeps running.
The agent watches Search Console, finds the pages and keywords worth work, writes and updates the pages, and keeps publishing.

What we do
What does an AI agent development company do?
An AI agent development company builds AI agents that do a job inside your business, and keeps them running. We pick the job, build the agent in your own accounts, connect it to your tools and run it every month.
The running matters as much as the build. An agent nobody looks after breaks the first time a tool or a model changes, so we stay on, log every run and report against the number we agreed.
Agent or standing order
Do you need an AI agent, or a simpler automation?
Most of the repeat work in a business needs a standing order: a known rule, run every time. We build an AI agent only where a step needs judgement, such as reading an enquiry or choosing which page to fix.
A standing order costs less to run and has fewer ways to go wrong, so we use one wherever it does the job.
| Standing order | AI agent | Chatbot | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Runs a known rule on a schedule or a trigger | Reads the situation, picks the next step and acts in your tools | Answers questions in a chat window |
| Pick it when | The rule is clear and someone keeps missing it | The next step needs judgement: reading an email, ranking a lead, choosing what to write | People ask the same questions and the answers sit in your documents |
| Example | Send the Friday report. Flag leads from companies over 50 people. | Draft the reply to a new enquiry. Decide which pages to update this week. | Answer “where is my order?” from your help pages |
| What a person checks | The cases the rule doesn’t cover | Anything that sends, hires or moves money | Questions it can’t answer, handed over |
| How it goes wrong | The rule changes and nobody updates it | It acts on a wrong reading. Logs and approvals catch it. | It answers from documents that are out of date |
Build and deploy
How do we build and deploy an AI agent?
- 01Book a call 30 minutes
Both founders. Tell us the job you want off your team’s desk. - 02Diagnose Two weeks · fixed fee
We sit with the people who do the job, read the numbers, and decide agent or standing order for each step. Credited to the Build if you go ahead within 30 days. - 03Build Three to six weeks · fixed scope
We build the agent in your accounts, connect it to your tools, and agree the scoreboard before we start. - 04Run Monthly
We run the agent, report against the scoreboard every month, and test new models on your work before we propose a switch.
- Your accounts
- The agent runs under your logins, in your tools. You keep everything if you stop, with a written runbook.
- Every run logged
- Each run is recorded, so you can see what the agent read, what it did and why.
- A named owner
- Anything the agent can’t handle goes to a named person on your team.
- Model changes tested
- When a model changes, we rerun the agent’s tests on your work before anything switches.
Build or buy
Should you build a custom AI agent or buy one?
Buy one when the job is common and your tools already offer it. A help desk with an AI assistant built in will answer standard support questions sooner than anything we build, and it costs less to start.
Build one when the job runs across your own tools and data, or follows rules only your business has. Lead replies that read your past deals and invoice follow-ups that know your payment terms are custom work.
If a product already does your job well, we say so on the first call.
Choosing a partner
How do you choose an AI agent development partner?
Ask any partner these questions. Our answers sit beside each one.
- Who builds it?
- With us, the two founders on your first call. There is no account manager and no junior team behind us.
- Whose accounts does it live in?
- Yours. An agent that lives in a vendor’s account leaves with the vendor.
- Who checks its work?
- A named person on your team, for anything that sends, hires or moves money.
- How will you measure it?
- A scoreboard agreed before the Build, reported in writing every month.
- What happens when the model changes?
- Tests on your work first, then a proposal. Nothing switches without your yes.
- What do we keep if we stop?
- The agent, its prompts, its code and a runbook your team or another partner can follow.

Questions owners ask about AI agents
Is an AI agent the same as a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions in a chat window. An AI agent takes steps in your tools: it reads an enquiry, checks your CRM and drafts the reply. Many jobs need neither, only a standing order that runs a known rule.
What is the difference between agentic AI and an AI agent?
An AI agent is one system doing one job. Agentic AI is the wider name for AI that plans and acts, including setups where several agents hand work to each other. We start with one agent on one job.
What does a custom AI agent cost?
The Diagnostic is a fixed fee, credited to the Build if you go ahead within 30 days. The Build is a fixed fee agreed before we start. The Run retainer is monthly and costs less than one senior hire. We share exact figures on the first call, once we know the job.
How long does it take to build an AI agent?
The Diagnostic takes two weeks and the Build takes three to six. We can usually start within two weeks of the first call.
Who owns the agent and the data?
You do. The agent runs in your accounts, under your logins. We sign your NDA, we do not use your data to train models, and we tell you which AI providers the agent calls.
Will the agent send emails or move money on its own?
Only if you decide it should. By default a person approves final outbound messages, hiring decisions and anything that commits money.
What happens when a better model comes out?
We test it on your work first. If it does the job better or cheaper, we propose the switch in the monthly report and make it once you agree.
Can we start with one job?
Yes. The Diagnostic ranks the jobs where an agent pays off, and the first Build can cover a single agent.
