Generic bots, generic answers
Off-the-shelf chatbots don’t know your clients, your rules or where your data lives.

Questions about AI agent development
What is an AI agent?
Software that uses an AI model like Claude to work through a task step by step — reading information, deciding what to do next and using your tools — rather than just answering a single question. Ours stop and ask a person before anything important.
What does AI agent development cost?
It depends on how many tools the agent touches and how much it needs to decide on its own. We start with a fixed-fee workflow audit, then a 2–4 week build sprint. See the pricing page for how it works.
Which AI model do you use?
Mostly Claude, because it’s strong at careful, multi-step work and following rules. We’ll use another model where it’s clearly the better fit, and you’re never locked in.
How do you keep agents safe?
Least-privilege access, approval steps before anything reaches a client or changes money or records, logs of every action, and tests on real examples before go-live.
Do we own the agent?
Yes. The code lives in your GitHub and runs in your accounts. No licence fees to us — cancel and it keeps running.
