Agentic Systems.

Workflows where the AI plans, calls tools, recovers from failure, and reports back — like a junior teammate that actually finishes the job.

Agents are easy to demo and brutal to operate. Loop control, tool budgets, hallucinated tool-calls, audit trails, human-in-the-loop checkpoints — these are the unglamorous bits that decide whether an agent ships or rots in a Jupyter notebook. We build for the second 90%.

▣ What you get

Deliverables.

Every engagement ships these as concrete artifacts you own — not slides, not hand-waving.

01

Agent graph + state machine

LangGraph (or your framework of choice) with explicit nodes, edges, and rollback points — not a black-box ReAct loop.

02

Tool catalogue

Typed, schema-validated tools with rate limits, idempotency keys, and dry-run modes for safe testing.

03

Trace + replay UI

Every agent run is replayable: see every prompt, tool call, intermediate state. Critical for debugging and audits.

04

Human checkpoints

UI for ops staff to approve / reject / edit at chosen boundaries. Slack approvals, queue dashboards, escalation routing.

⌖ How we work

The engagement.

PHASE 011–2 weeks

Decompose

Break the workflow into a graph of nodes and decisions. Identify what's deterministic, what needs an LLM, what needs a human.

PHASE 024–6 weeks

Build

Implement nodes, tools, and the state machine. Integrate with your CRM / DB / SaaS. Daily eval runs on golden trajectories.

PHASE 032–3 weeks

Harden

Load test, chaos-test (failed tool calls, malformed inputs), tune retry / fallback policies, finalise audit logging.

PHASE 041 week

Operate

Roll out with a controlled cohort, watch dashboards, tune. Hand off runbooks to your team.

Time & materials
$5,500/ month / 4-person pod

Agentic systems iterate a lot — fixed bids tend to underprice or over-spec. We engage as a pod (2 senior eng, 1 ML, 1 PM) on monthly retainer. Roll on/off any month after the first.

  • Cross-functional pod of 4
  • Weekly demos + retros
  • All tooling licences (LangGraph, Langfuse, etc.)
  • Eval suite + replay UI
  • Monthly cost-optimisation pass
  • On-call escalation during ramp
? FAQ

Common questions.

LangGraph vs CrewAI vs OpenAI Agents SDK?

LangGraph for production / enterprise — explicit graphs, audit-friendly, durable state. CrewAI when role-based team-of-agents is the natural model. OpenAI Agents SDK when you're already deep in the OpenAI stack. We pick per-engagement, not by religion.

How do you stop runaway costs?

Per-step tool-call budgets, max-iteration limits, hard cost ceilings, and live dashboards. We've yet to ship an agent that blew its budget — but the guardrails matter.

Can a human approve every step?

Yes — we configure checkpoint policy per node. High-stakes decisions get human-in-loop; low-stakes batch through. You decide the boundary.

What if the agent gets stuck?

Explicit timeout, fallback to a human queue, and a notification. Stuck-without-notice is the #1 production failure mode and we design against it.
