Agents for work where a wrong action is expensive to undo.

An agent that answers is a demo. An agent that acts has to be right, because the action is already taken by the time anyone reads the output. We build agents that plan across your systems through MCP tools, check their own work against a definition of done, and stop at a human checkpoint wherever the stakes justify one. Every action is traced, so a bad run is something you can replay rather than reconstruct.

01 / AI AGENTS

Multi-step agents for workflows where a wrong action is expensive to undo.

For multi-step work across systems where a wrong action is expensive to undo. Agents that plan, act through MCP tools, and verify before they finish.

Usually shipped with

  • Production AI engineering
  • AI voice agents
  • Cloud and DevOps

Not a bundle to buy. Whichever you start from, the engagement covers what the build actually needs.

02 / Scope

What we build.

  • Multi-step agents that plan, act, and review their own output before returning it
  • Secure MCP tool layers so agents reach email, calendar, CRM, and cloud without leaked credentials
  • Guardrails and policy checks that stop a bad action before it happens
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints wherever the stakes justify a second pair of eyes
  • Self-checking and retry loops so one failed step never sinks the whole run
  • Full traces on every action, so each decision is replayable and auditable

03 / Outcomes

What you can ship.

  • An AI chief-of-staff that runs operations end to end
  • DevOps and infra agents that apply and roll back safely
  • Workflow agents that automate recurring back-office work
  • Research and data-gathering agents that compile sourced answers
  • Customer-facing agents that resolve, not just chat

04 / Deliverables

Artefacts, not activities.

  • The agent runtimeThe planner, the critic and the retry loop, running in your infrastructure against your models and your rate limits. Not a hosted black box you rent back from us.
  • A secure MCP tool layerEvery integration behind one interface the agent can discover and call, with credentials in an encrypted vault instead of pasted into each connection.
  • A written guardrail policyWhich actions run unattended, which need a human, and which are refused outright — as code your team can read, review and change without us.
  • An eval suite and a baselineTask completion measured before and after, with the failure modes named, so “it got better” is a number rather than an impression.
  • Traces and a runbookEvery action replayable end to end, plus the document your on-call engineer opens at 2am when a run goes sideways.

06 / Why us

Ahead of the labs

We shipped dynamic tool-discovery, retrieving the right tool before calling it, on Solarpunk roughly six months before the major labs published the same pattern as a standard. We were solving the hundred-tool problem before it had a name.

Autonomy that actually holds

Solarpunk's agent went from 55% to 80% of plans finished without a human, because every step runs through a built-in critic that retries or escalates instead of guessing.

Credentials never leave the device

Agents act inside login-only apps through an encrypted local vault, so the work gets done without a password ever touching our servers.

A path from your problem to production.

  1. Week 1

    Map the real workflow

    We start from the actual job to be done, the tools it touches, and the points where a wrong action is expensive. That map decides where autonomy is safe and where a human stays in the loop.

  2. Week 1–2

    Build the secure tool layer

    Every integration goes behind one consistent MCP interface the agent can search and call, instead of brittle, hand-wired connections. Credentials stay in an encrypted local vault.

  3. Week 2–4

    Add the critic and guardrails

    The agent reviews its own output, retries on failure, and escalates when the stakes are high. Policy checks stop bad actions before they ever execute.

  4. Week 4–6

    Instrument, eval, and ship

    Every action is traced and replayable, and we measure completion rate and failure modes with real evals before the agent carries any production load.

An agent is a controller, not a prompt.

A goal enters a runtime that plans, acts, checks its own work and adjusts, reading and writing memory as it goes. Actions leave through a scoped tool bus rather than straight into your systems, a critic decides whether the work actually succeeded and can send the loop round again, and anything consequential waits on a human. The loop and the gate are the parts that survive contact with production.

Production-proven

Built by engineers who've already shipped this in production.

The questions buyers actually ask.

Is an autonomous agent safe to run on our systems?

Yes, when it is built for it. Ours act through a scoped tool layer with policy checks that block bad actions before they execute, human-in-the-loop checkpoints on high-stakes steps, and a full trace on every action. You decide where the agent acts freely and where it has to ask first.

How is this different from wiring a model to our APIs ourselves?

Direct wiring is brittle: scattered keys, tangled prompts, and silent failures whenever a vendor changes something. We put every tool behind one interface the agent searches and calls, with self-checks and retries, which is what lets it carry multi-step work instead of falling apart on step two.

What if our work lives in apps with no clean API?

Much real work lives behind logins with SSO and MFA, where APIs barely exist. We build agents that operate inside those apps through a secure layer, with credentials held in an encrypted local vault, so the password never leaves the device.

How long before something is actually running?

A scoped agent build reaches a working, instrumented first workflow in about four to six weeks. The tool layer and the guardrail policy come first because they are what make the rest safe to iterate on.

Who owns the code?

You do, outright, including the tool layer and the evals. It lands in your repository under your licence from the first commit — there is no runtime of ours you have to keep paying for.

Can our own team maintain it after you leave?

That is the point of the runbook and the eval suite. We hand over with your engineers able to add a tool, change a guardrail and read a failing trace on their own. Where you want it, we stay on in a smaller support capacity.
