Custom AI agents
Custom AI agents with a job description and a supervisor
An agent that can act is only as good as the limits around it. We build the agent and the controls together, because that is the difference between a demo and something you can leave running overnight.
The short answer
A custom AI agent is software that uses a language model to plan steps and call your tools toward a goal, such as booking an appointment or qualifying a lead. It differs from a chatbot because it takes actions, which is why permissions, logging, and human checkpoints matter more than the prompt.
What this stops
- Leads waiting until morning for a first reply
- Staff doing research that follows the same recipe each time
- Follow-ups that depend on someone remembering
- Nobody knowing what your AI tools actually did today
What we build
What this looks like in practice
- Booking agents
- Conversations that end in a real slot pulled from your real calendar, not a promise to call back.
- Qualifying agents
- A model asks the questions your best rep asks, then writes the answer into your CRM.
- Back-office agents
- Scheduled workers that check, compile, and hand you a briefing.
- Agent supervision
- A control layer that dispatches work, grades results, and can stop everything with one switch.
The rule on this one
Permissions live in the database, not in the prompt. If an agent is not allowed to do something, the grant does not exist, so no amount of clever text can talk it into trying.

Questions
What people ask us
Often built alongside
What is the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?
A chatbot answers. An agent acts: it calls tools, changes records, and works toward a goal across several steps. That extra power is why an agent needs permissions, logs, and limits that a chatbot does not.
How much does a custom AI agent cost?
Most business-grade agents we scope land between $6K and $15K, depending on integrations and how much the agent is allowed to do on its own. A narrow agent with one integration can come in under that. Our pricing page shows the bands.
Can an AI agent run without supervision?
Parts of it can, once the numbers justify it. We start with a person approving actions, measure accuracy against real work, and hand over more autonomy one action type at a time.
