AI agents that take on repeat work

An AI agent is software that does one defined job, using a language model to read, decide and write. We build each agent around a specific task and a measurable result, so you know what it will save you before it is switched on.

What an agent can do

How we build

We keep each agent small and specific, test it against your real data and keep a person involved wherever a decision carries risk. Every agent is handed over running, with a record of what it did and a simple way to pause it.

The technology

We use the latest AI technology to build solutions, and we choose the approach that suits your business.

We can work with the technology you already have, bring in third-party products where they do the job well, or build our own.

AI strategy

If you are not ready to build, we can set out where AI will save time in your business, where it adds risk, what it costs to run and the order in which to do it. You receive a short written plan with the reasoning behind each recommendation.

How it starts

We start with a conversation about what is taking too much time, followed by a half-day review of how the work is done and the data it relies on. You receive a one-page plan of the three changes worth making first, each with its effort and expected gain, and the plan is yours whether or not we go further.

Our research runs on agents like these: they ask AI assistants the same questions every week and test the answers. The tests →
