The pipeline we actually ship.

AI automation services, in plain terms: a senior engineer turns a manual process into AI agents and workflow automation that run on their own. Five nodes, each with its own latency and cost. You get this back in your audit, drawn for your workflow. Evals on every node, tracing before live traffic.

Workflow audit · sample finding card

What we check before an agent ships.

Every engagement opens with an audit. FAIL items become sprint one. You see all of it, including what we would not touch yet.

Audit card · sample · finding rowsExported with the diagram
  • FAIL
    Hallucination management
    No grounding, no confidence threshold, no human fallback. Wrong answers reach the customer.
  • FAIL
    Observability and tracing
    No tracing wired. You cannot see the prompt, context, or tool calls. Debugging is guesswork.
  • WARN
    Eval suite
    Zero evals. No way to catch quality slipping when a prompt changes.
  • WARN
    Vendor lock-in
    Hardcoded to one provider. No abstraction layer. Switching means a rewrite.
  • PASS
    Data residency and security
    Vendor confirmed not to train on your inputs. PII scrubbing in place.
  • PASS
    API key custody
    Keys stay in your vault, rotated on a schedule. No shared keys in the code.

Findings like these land in your inbox in days, with the diagram. Every build then clears two QA passes before live traffic.

What we build · all of it traced and yours to inspect

The stack is yours to inspect, swap, or fork. Every choice is one a senior with about a decade can defend, with the evals to back it. One of 8 practices. Hire it alone or add more, never a forced bundle.

Send the workflow

When the call usually comes in

Three reasons the workflow lands in our inbox.

  1. Reason 01

    You have ops work that should be a script.

    Call summaries, lead enrichment, classification, all done by hand. You do not need a full-time AI hire. Bring in our bench, and a production agent ships in the first sprint.

  2. Reason 02

    Your Zapier flow keeps breaking.

    Twelve steps, three branches, an LLM call jammed in the middle, no error handling. We rebuild that business process automation on n8n with evals, retries, and tracing. The code lives in your repo.

  3. Reason 03

    You are done paying consultants for slides.

    Months of meetings, a deck, and not one agent live. You get the opposite: a free audit in days, a prototype in your repo soon after, evals before live traffic.

The honest comparison

When senior-led AI fits. And when it doesn't.

Operating principles · in writing
Principles I to IV

Four principles.
Wired into every agent.

Most AI projects fail for the same few reasons. These four put them on the table, in writing, before an agent goes live.

  1. PI

    You own the prompts, the code, and the infra

    Prompts and code live in your repo, version-controlled. Infra runs on your accounts. Token costs pass through at provider cost. We never hold your API keys.

  2. PII

    Evals and tracing on day one

    Tracing is wired before the first live call. Every prompt change runs the evals before it ships. You see what the agent did, why, and what it cost. No black box.

  3. PIII

    Low-confidence answers go to a human, not a guess

    A confidence threshold sits on every output. Below it, the answer routes to a person, not the customer. Every claimed fact shows its source.

  4. PIV

    Mutual NDA, and no training on your data

    Signed before we look at your workflows. 0 NDA incidents to date. Vendor contracts confirmed not to train on your inputs. PII scrubbing in place.

Operator's mark

You can cancel any month, month to month. Most clients stay: 19 months is the average tenure here.

AI questions

What people ask before they let an agent into the stack.

Plain answers on who owns the prompts, how we keep the agent honest, and what it costs.

  • Zapier is fine for two-tool, low-stakes glue. The moment your workflow needs branching, retries, audit logs, or an LLM call inside a step, it gets fragile fast. We build the layer underneath: real code, with tracing you can read, and we only reach for a model when classification or generation is the actual job. The result lives in your repo, so your team can take it over whenever you want.

  • Zapier is great for two-tool, low-stakes glue. The moment a workflow needs branching logic, retry handling, audit logs, or LLM calls inside a step, you hit the wall fast. We build the next layer down — custom code with proper observability — and only reach for an LLM when classification or generation is the actual job.

  • Whichever fits the task, and we tell you which one and why in the audit. The choice stays swappable behind an abstraction layer, so you are never locked to one provider. Your API keys stay in your environment. We never hold them.

  • Whichever fits the task. Claude for reasoning and code-adjacent work, GPT-4 for general agents, Gemini for cost-sensitive classification, locally hosted Llama for privacy-sensitive enterprise jobs. We tell you which model and why in the scoping doc, and we keep the choice swappable.

  • They keep working. The code is in your repo, on your infra, with the runbook and dashboards. A monthly retainer is optional. It covers alerts, edge-case fixes, and model swaps as providers update. You are month to month, so you can keep it for a sprint or two and then move ops in-house. No lock-in.

  • They work. Every build ships with a runbook, monitoring dashboards, and an on-call escalation path. A monthly operating retainer is optional — it covers alerts, edge-case fixes, and model swaps as the providers update. Many teams take it for the first six months and then move ops in-house.

  • In your infrastructure: your Postgres, your Supabase, your VPC, your bucket. We never run a shared, multi-tenant database with your data in it. The mutual NDA is signed before we look at anything, vendor contracts are confirmed not to train on your inputs, and everything we build is yours to take on day one.

  • In your infrastructure. Postgres, Supabase, your VPC, your S3 bucket. We never run a multi-tenant database. API keys for the models stay in your environment variables. Everything we build is fully transferable on day one.

  • Both. Internal LLM tools and custom CRMs are a regular build: admin pages, role-based access, audit logs, with the automations layered on top. Built around how your team actually works, not bent out of a tool you have to adapt to. Two QA passes before anything ships.

  • Yes. Custom CRMs are a regular engagement — same stack as the automations, with admin pages, role-based access, audit logs, and the workflow automations layered on top. Designed around your team's actual workflow, not adapted from Salesforce.

  • Three ways, wired before any live traffic. Retrieval grounds answers in your own knowledge base instead of guessing. A confidence threshold sends low-confidence answers to a person, not to your customer. And an eval suite runs on every prompt change to catch quality slipping before it ships. Where the agent claims a fact, it shows the source.

  • Every flow has a retry policy, a fallback path, and a Slack alert when both fail. The run log records every invocation with its status and duration. Edge cases that surface in production get added to the test suite. Nothing fails silently.

What happens after you send

A senior replies first. No SDR in between.

You send one workflow. The engineer who would build it replies within 1 business day, signs the mutual NDA, then the diagram and audit land. Here is what runs in between.

  1. 01Within 1 business day

    A senior replies

    Not a coordinator, not an SDR. The engineer who would run your workflow replies, confirms scope, and sends the mutual NDA.

  2. 02Next, the audit

    We run the workflow audit

    Once the NDA is signed: hallucination management, tracing, evals, lock-in, data residency, key custody. You see every finding.

  3. 03Then the diagram

    Diagram and price land

    The diagram, the audit, an eval plan, a cost estimate, the named engineer, and a price. Retainer or one-off, your call.

No follow-up sequence. No drip campaign. You hear from a senior, not a sales rep.
