AI Agents: AI Built for a Specific Job

An agent has one goal, the access it needs and clear rules. It answers, drafts or acts inside your systems, and hands to a person when judgement is needed.

Work That Suits an Agent

  • Routine Work That Needs a Little ThoughtToo varied for simple rules, too repetitive for skilled people.
  • Answers Buried in SystemsThe information exists, but people dig through tickets, documents and colleagues to find it.

Not All Agents Are the Same

The difference is how much an agent does without a person. We match the type to the job and the independence to the risk.

A person decidesThe agent decides, within limits
  1. Knowledge AgentsAnswer questions from your own documents, like a policy assistant or IT help agent in Teams.
  2. Assistant AgentsDraft replies, summarise tickets and prepare documents for a person to send.
  3. Task AgentsUpdate a record, raise a ticket or file a document, within tight limits.
  4. Autonomous AgentsChoose their own steps towards a goal, with human approval for anything that matters.

Build, Buy or Both

Software vendors are shipping ready-made agents, and more arrive every month. We give you an independent view of which to use, then make sure it's safe and works with your systems.

ChooseBuild, buy or adapt, decided on what the job needs, what it costs to run and the risk.
CheckWhat a ready-made agent can reach and where your data goes, reviewed before it's switched on.

Safe to Launch, Kept Working

Platforms, systems and your business change underneath every agent. We look after the whole lifecycle.

Tested Before ReleaseReal scenarios, including requests it should refuse, before launch and after every change.
Errors Caught and FixedFailures and unexpected behaviour alerted on, investigated and fixed.

AI Agent Questions

What's the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?

A chatbot answers questions. An agent can also take action: drafting, updating records or raising tickets inside your systems. How much it does without a person is set by the job and the risk.

Which AI models do you use?

We're model-agnostic. We choose the right model for each job, from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google or open-source models, so you're not locked in to one vendor.

Should we build an agent or buy one?

It depends on the job. Ready-made agents suit common tasks; your own processes and data often need one built or adapted. We'll give you an independent view, then check, test, connect and govern whichever you choose.

Where do agents work?

Inside the tools your people already use, such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot or your service desk platform.

What happens after an agent goes live?

We monitor it, fix errors, and retest and update it as platforms and models change, with regular reporting on usage and the value it delivers.
