Build AI Systems · AI Agents

Agents that do the work — and know their limits.

We build production AI agents that plan, use your tools, and take action — voice agents on the phone, coding agents in your repos, and task agents across your workflows. Every one is grounded in your data, evaluated on its steps, and gated by a human where it counts.

Grounded in your dataHuman-gatedFully audited
Building agents

What separates an agent from a chatbot.

A chatbot answers. An agent decides, acts, and takes responsibility for a whole task — which is exactly why it has to be engineered, not just prompted.

The agent loop
PerceivePlanAct (tools)VerifyEscalate to human

Planning & reasoning

The agent breaks a goal into steps, decides what to do next, and adapts when a step fails — not a fixed script.

Task decompositionReActSelf-correction

Tool use & actions

Agents call your systems through typed tools — APIs, databases, and MCP servers — to actually do things, not just describe them.

Memory & context

Working memory plus long-term recall keeps an agent coherent across a long task and grounded in your data.

Grounding & retrieval

Every decision is anchored to your data and policy through retrieval, so the agent acts on facts, not guesses.

Reliability & recovery

Verifiers, retries, timeouts, and fallbacks catch failure and recover — the line between a demo and production.

Voice agents

Agents that pick up the phone.

Real-time voice agents that talk like a person, act on your systems mid-call, and hand off cleanly — replacing hold music and phone trees with a conversation.

What makes voice hard

Voice is unforgiving: responses have to come back in under a second, the agent has to handle interruptions and cross-talk, cope with accents and background noise, honor recording and consent rules, and hand off to a human the moment a call turns sensitive. We engineer for all of it — latency budgets, barge-in, and graceful escalation built in from the start.

Coding agents

Agents that ship code — behind a review.

Repo-aware agents that read your codebase, make changes, run the tests, and open a pull request for your engineers to approve. Developer leverage, not developer replacement.

The coding loop
Understand repoPlan changeEditRun testsOpen PR

Legacy migration

Move code across languages and frameworks — the agent reads the repo, ports module by module, and keeps the tests green.

Test generation

Generate unit and integration tests to close coverage gaps, run them, and keep only the ones that pass.

Code review

A review agent flags bugs, security issues, and style problems before a human reviewer opens the pull request.

Dependency upgrades

Bumps versions, fixes the breakages, and proves it with a passing build — routine toil, automated.

Docs & onboarding

Keeps READMEs, API docs, and runbooks in sync with the code as it changes.

READMEsAPI docsIn sync
Guardrails, always on

Coding agents run in sandboxed environments with no access to production or secrets, every change is proven by a passing build in CI, and nothing merges without a human approving the pull request. The agent does the toil; your team keeps the keys and the final say.

Agent governance

An agent takes actions. Govern them.

The difference between a chatbot and an agent is consequence — an agent can send, spend, change, and delete. Governance is how we make that safe: permission, verification, audit, and a human on the decisions that matter.

Least-privilege access

Each agent gets only the tools and data its job requires — scoped credentials, not the keys to everything.

Scoped toolsRBACSecrets vault

Action approval gates

High-stakes actions pause for a human to approve — the agent proposes, a person disposes.

Human-in-loopThresholdsApprovals

Trajectory evaluation

We evaluate the steps, not just the final answer — did the agent use the right tools, safely, to get there?

Step evalTool-useSuccess rate

Guardrails & policy

Input and output guardrails, policy checks, and prompt-injection defense keep the agent inside the lines.

GuardrailsPolicy checksInjection defense

Audit & tracing

Every decision, tool call, and input is traced and logged — a full, reviewable record of what the agent did and why.

TracingAudit logReplay

Limits & kill switch

Rate limits, spend caps, timeouts, and a kill switch — a bounded blast radius when something goes wrong.

Rate limitsSpend capsKill switch
Why this is non-negotiable

A wrong answer from a chatbot is an inconvenience. A wrong action from an agent is an incident. So we scope every agent to least privilege, gate its consequential actions behind a human, evaluate the path it takes and not just the result, and log all of it for audit — because an agent you cannot inspect is an agent you cannot trust in production.

How we evaluate agents
Agent architecture

Anatomy of an enterprise AI agent.

An agent is not a single prompt. It is a system: a reasoning core that plans and decides, memory that keeps it coherent, tools that let it act on your systems, a model layer underneath, and interfaces to people and other agents — all wrapped in policy, guardrails, and audit. This is the blueprint we build to.

Workflows

Every agent workflow, mapped.

The same architecture runs many different flows. Here are the patterns we design and operate — from a single agent thinking through a task to a governed team of agents executing a whole process.

1 · Single-agent reasoning loop

One agent works a goal end to end: it observes the state, plans the next step, chooses a tool, acts, checks the result, and repeats — escalating to a person when it hits its limits.

Observe
read goal & state
Plan
decompose steps
Select tool
Act
call your system
Verify
check result
Respond / escalate
↻ loops until the goal is met or a human is needed
2 · Retrieval-grounded agent

Before it acts, the agent pulls the facts: it retrieves from your knowledge and policy, grounds its reasoning in that context, then acts and cites what it used — so decisions rest on your data, not guesses.

User goal
Retrieve
vector search
Ground
your policy & data
Reason

Act / answer
Cite & log
3 · Multi-agent orchestration

For complex work, an orchestrator plans and delegates to specialized agents that run in parallel, share state over a message bus, and hand results back for aggregation — a team of digital teammates, each doing what it is best at.

4 · Human-in-the-loop approval

Consequential actions do not just happen. The agent proposes, a risk check routes it — low-risk actions execute automatically, high-risk actions pause for a person to approve, edit, or reject — and every path is logged.

Agent proposes action
Risk & impact check
Low risk → auto-execute
High risk → human review

5 · Agent lifecycle

Agents are managed, not shipped-and-forgotten. We design, build, evaluate on both the path and the outcome, deploy, monitor in production, and optimize — a closed loop that keeps agents aligned to results.

Reference architecture

What a production agent actually looks like.

The conceptual anatomy above is the idea. This is the deployment — the planes we stand up inside your cloud, and the components that make an agent survivable in production. Names differ per stack; the shape rarely does.

The four control planes are cross-cutting — every step in the runtime writes to all of them. They are the difference between an agent you can operate and one you can only hope about.
Request lifecycle

One step, end to end — with a budget.

Every agent step is the same sequence, and every stage owns a latency and failure contract. Publishing these numbers internally is what turns "the agent feels slow" into an engineering conversation.

State & memory

Four kinds of memory, four different stores.

"Give the agent memory" is not one decision. These are separate concerns with different lifetimes, stores, and failure modes — and conflating them is why agents either forget the last turn or drag irrelevant history into every call.

Type
Holds
Lifetime
Typical store & policy
Working
The current task: plan, recent steps, tool results
One task
In-process or Redis; rolling window with pinned facts
Episodic
The thread — prior turns, decisions, approvals
Session / retention window
Relational store; summarized on compaction, full text retained for audit
Semantic
Durable knowledge: docs, policies, product facts
Until re-ingested
Vector store; refreshed by ingestion pipeline, never written by the agent
Procedural
How this org does the task — playbooks, routes, learned exceptions
Versioned artifact
Registry, code-reviewed; changes ship through the release pipeline, not at runtime
Compaction is a design decision: a rolling summary plus explicitly pinned facts, never a naive truncation that silently drops the instruction.
Checkpoint at every step boundary, so a failed tool call or a pending approval resumes instead of restarting.
The agent does not write to semantic memory directly — self-updating knowledge bases drift, and nobody notices until they are wrong.
Every memory read is traced. “Why did it say that?” is answerable only if you captured what it was looking at.
Tools & MCP

The tool layer is where agents actually fail.

In our experience more agent defects trace to tool design than to the model. A tool is an API contract written for a reader that cannot ask a follow-up question — so it gets the same rigor as a public interface.

Tool invocation path
Agent selects tool
Schema validation
reject before side effects
Permission broker
scope · tenant · blast radius
Secrets broker

MCP / API / sandbox
Result + trace
Idempotency key on every mutating call, exponential backoff with jitter on transient failure, and a circuit breaker so one degraded dependency cannot take the whole agent down.
Contract

Typed schemas, versioned

JSON Schema for every argument and return, semantic versioning, and a deprecation path. A tool whose shape changes silently breaks agents that were passing yesterday.

Identity

On-behalf-of, not god mode

Agents act with the calling user's scope through token exchange wherever possible. A service account with broad rights is the most common privilege-escalation path we find in agent reviews.

Errors

Errors that say what to do

"Invalid request" teaches a model nothing. "start_date must precede end_date; received 2026-03-01 and 2026-02-01" gets a correct retry on the next step instead of three wasted ones.

Blast radius

Read, write, and irreversible

Every tool is classified. Reads run freely, writes run within bounds, and irreversible actions — payments, external messages, deletions, production config — require an approval that is recorded.

Topologies

Four shapes. Pick the least agentic one that works.

Agency is a cost paid in reliability, so it should buy something. We start from the most constrained topology that solves the problem and add freedom only where the path genuinely cannot be known in advance.

Single agent + tools

One model in a loop with a bounded tool set.

Best for tasks under roughly ten steps with a homogeneous skill set. Highest reliability, easiest to evaluate and debug. Start here and only move if the task genuinely does not fit.

<10 stepsOne domainEasiest to eval

Supervisor + specialists

A planner decomposes the task and delegates to narrow worker agents, then assembles their results.

Use when subtasks need genuinely different tools or context, or can run in parallel. Each worker stays narrow, which keeps step reliability high — but the supervisor becomes the failure point, so its planning gets its own eval set.

HeterogeneousParallelizablePlan is eval'd

Deterministic pipeline

A fixed DAG where model calls sit at specific nodes and control flow is ordinary code.

The most reliable shape available, and the right answer far more often than teams expect. If the path is known in advance, do not make the model rediscover it on every run.

Known pathHighest reliabilityCheapest

Generator + critic

One agent produces, a second verifies against explicit criteria and can send it back.

Use where verification is cheaper than generation and quality matters more than latency — drafting, code changes, anything customer-visible. Costs roughly double; often worth it.

Quality-critical~2x costBounded retries
Control plane

Guardrails at three points, not one.

Safety is not a filter bolted to the output. It is enforced before the model sees the request, inside the loop where actions are chosen, and after generation before anything lands.

Release pipeline

CI/CD for something non-deterministic.

An agent release is not a prompt edit. The prompt, tool schemas, model version, retrieval configuration, and policy are one versioned artifact — because changing any of them changes behaviour, and you need to know which one did.
