01 AI agent development

We build AI agents
that work in production.

Not demos. Not prototypes. Production agents running in real business workflows — qualifying leads, handling support, answering internal questions, processing documents. Fixed scope. Fixed price. In production in 4–8 weeks.

First, the basics

What an AI agent
actually is.

And what it isn't — because most of what gets called an "AI agent" is just a chatbot with a better name.

An AI agent is software that perceives inputs, reasons about them, and takes actions — without a human in the loop for every step. It's not a chatbot you talk to. It's not a dashboard that shows you AI insights. It's a piece of your operations that runs autonomously, 24/7, handling a defined set of tasks so your team doesn't have to.

The hard part isn't the AI model. Any team can call an API and get a response. The hard part is what surrounds it: the integrations that give it access to your real data, the evaluation framework that tells you whether it's actually performing, the guardrails that prevent it from doing something expensive or embarrassing, and the monitoring that catches problems before your team does.

That's what we build. 12+ years of production software engineering behind each one. The agent handles the routine. Your team handles the rest.

02 The Agent Pods

Four agents.
Each one ships.

Productized builds for the highest-ROI use cases we see repeatedly. Each one starts from a proven blueprint — customized to your stack, your data, and your team.

Pod 01

Sales Triage
Agent

4–6 weeks · fixed scope
Scope this agent

Every inbound lead gets qualified, scored by intent and fit, and routed instantly — whether it arrives at 2pm on a Tuesday or 11pm on a Sunday. Your sales team only sees the warm ones, with context already assembled. Nobody goes cold while the team sleeps.

This is the highest-impact starting point for most sales-led businesses. SDRs stop drowning in unqualified noise. High-intent leads stop waiting 18 hours for a first response.

What it does

What you get out of it

In production

The real estate lead qualification agent we built for aynuraaghenii.com runs 24/7, qualifies inbound property enquiries, and scores leads by buying intent and timeline before a human ever touches them. The agent handles the overnight and weekend volume — the hours when leads used to go cold.

Pod 02

Support
Copilot

5–7 weeks · fixed scope
Scope this agent

Your support team's time is too expensive for repetitive ticket answers. This agent reads every incoming ticket, finds the right answer from your help docs, policies, and customer history, and either resolves it autonomously or drafts a reply for an agent to approve in one click. Humans only get pulled in when the situation genuinely requires them.

Most clients see 40–60% support load reduction within the first 60 days. CSAT tends to improve — because first response times drop from hours to seconds.

Pod 03

Knowledge
Agent

5–7 weeks · fixed scope
Scope this agent

The same questions get asked over and over in every growing team — to the same senior people who have other things to do. This agent indexes your documentation, SOPs, wikis, and Slack history, and answers any internal question with a cited source. New hires onboard faster. Senior staff stop being interrupted with questions a document already answers.

Knowledge is the most immediate ROI agent for teams that have been growing faster than their documentation practices.

Pod 04

Document Review
Agent

6–8 weeks · fixed scope
Scope this agent

Contracts, invoices, reports, compliance documents — reading them takes hours. This agent reads them instead. It extracts the key data, flags anomalies against your standards, highlights deviations from your policy positions, and delivers a structured brief so the human reviewer focuses on decisions, not reading.

Built with a full audit trail — every extraction and flag is traceable, which matters when the documents are legal or financial.

03 How engagements work

Two steps.
No surprises in between.

Every AI agent engagement starts with an Audit. Builds only happen if the Audit says they should. You're never committed to a build you haven't scoped and approved.

Step 01 · Entry point

AI Opportunity
Audit

2 weeks · fixed fee
Book an audit

The most common situation we see: you're certain AI should be doing more in the business, but you're not sure what to build, what it actually costs, or whether to build vs. buy something off the shelf.

In two weeks, we map your workflows, identify the highest-ROI agent candidates, and give you a ranked roadmap with rough scope, integration paths, and build-or-buy guidance for each. The output is a document you own — whether or not you build with us.

Step 02 · The build

Agent Pod
Build

4–8 weeks · fixed scope · fixed price
Discuss a build

We build, test, deploy, and document. The agent is handed over production-ready — with monitoring dashboards, an evaluation set tuned to your real data and edge cases, a runbook for whoever maintains it, and 30 days of post-launch tuning included.

Fixed scope and fixed price means you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before we start. No hourly billing. No change orders for anything we agreed to deliver.

Scope

What we
don't do.

Being specific about the limits keeps both sides honest and means you know what you're buying.

We've learned to say no to certain categories of work — not because we can't do them technically, but because they consistently don't produce the outcomes clients actually need.

Why us

Engineers first.
Always.

See the work

Most AI companies were born in the LLM era. We weren't. Aggento was built on 12+ years of production software engineering — systems that had to work under real load, integrate with real legacy infrastructure, and be maintained by real teams long after the agency left.

That background is why our agents are different. The LLM isn't the hard part. Any developer can call an API. The hard part is the integration layer that gives the agent access to your real data, the evaluation framework that tells you whether it's actually performing, the guardrails that prevent costly errors, and the monitoring that catches regressions before they become incidents. That's production engineering applied to AI — and that's the only kind we do.

Agents in production today

The real estate lead qualification agent running on aynuraaghenii.com qualifies inbound property enquiries 24/7 — scoring leads by intent and buying timeline before a human reviews them. It's not a demo. It's live, handling real traffic, and producing qualified briefs for the sales process every day.

Third-party costs — model API tokens, vector database hosting, cloud infrastructure — are passed through at cost and estimated transparently before the build starts. They're typically £200–800/month for a production Pod at typical usage volumes.

05 Common questions

What buyers always ask.

We use whatever model is right for the job — Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4o (OpenAI), and open-weight models for on-prem deployments where data can't leave your infrastructure. We're not tied to a single provider and we don't take referral fees from any of them. The model is one component of a production agent. What actually determines quality is the architecture around it: how retrieval works, how the agent is evaluated, what guardrails are in place, and how it's monitored. We select and justify the model selection during the Audit or kickoff scoping.

The Audit takes 2 weeks. Agent Pod builds take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to production. The specific timeline depends on integration complexity — a knowledge agent connected to Notion and Slack is faster than a document review agent with a legal audit trail integrated into your DMS. We agree on the timeline in writing at kickoff before work starts. The evaluation set definition in week 1 is what makes fixed timelines possible — it eliminates scope ambiguity early.

Every Pod includes 30 days of post-launch tuning and bug fixes. After that, you can run the agent yourself — we hand over documented code, runbooks, an eval framework, and monitoring dashboards. Most clients are operating independently within 60 days. If you want ongoing support, we offer an optional retainer: monthly, cancel any time. About a third of clients take it; the rest prefer to run in-house. We build for handoff from the start — we'd rather you be self-sufficient than dependent.

Yes — and they need to in order to be useful. An agent that can't read your CRM, helpdesk, or document store is just a chatbot. We connect via your existing APIs, OAuth integrations, or direct database access, depending on your architecture. REST, GraphQL, SOAP, databases, on-prem systems, custom auth — we've worked with all of it. The Audit confirms integration feasibility and documents the data access approach before we scope the build. Security practices, ZDR configurations, and data handling are covered in writing before we start, and we sign mutual NDAs as standard.
