AI & Intelligent Systems · AI Agents & Intelligent Workflows
Put AI to work on a well-defined problem.
We explore AI assistants and workflow integrations where they can help people find information, prepare work or route tasks — without presenting uncertain output as fact or removing necessary human oversight.
Useful when
Knowledge is scattered across documents, the same questions arrive repeatedly, or routine preparation work slows skilled people down.
What we need from you
- The task and what a good result looks like
- Approved source documents or data access
- Example questions or cases for evaluation
- Your privacy, retention and approval rules
How it works
Controls around every AI step
AI is one step inside a controlled workflow. Nothing acts on its own without the controls you agree.
Approved sources
Only the documents and data you sign off
Model & logic
Retrieval, prompts and rules for the task
Evaluation
Tested against real questions before and after launch
Human approval
Required where an error would be costly
Audit trail
Inputs, outputs and decisions logged for review
Exception path
Low confidence or out of scope
Says what it can't confirm and hands over to a person
Choose the simplest reliable option
“AI agent” covers very different things. We start with the simplest approach that solves the problem and only add autonomy where it's safe and worth it.
Deterministic automation
Clear rules, no AI. Often the most reliable answer for predictable tasks.
Retrieval-based assistant
Answers questions from your approved documents and cites its sources.
Tool-using agent
Can look things up or prepare actions in your systems, within strict permissions.
Human-approved workflow
AI drafts or prepares the work; a person reviews and approves before anything happens.

How we evaluate before launch
- A test set of real questions or tasks, with expected answers
- Measured answer quality, including “I don't know” cases
- Checks that sources are cited and correct
- Permission tests: the agent can't do what it shouldn't
- Cost per task estimated from real usage
- A human fallback that's easy to reach
Internal knowledge assistant
Illustrative scenario · not a client case studyBefore
- Staff search shared drives and ask colleagues
- Answers differ depending on who you ask
- Experts spend time on repeat questions
After
- An assistant answers from approved documents with citations
- Unclear questions are routed to the right expert
- Gaps in documentation become visible and fixable
Questions we're often asked
Can AI be perfectly accurate?
No. Good design makes uncertainty visible, cites sources and manages failures with a clear human path.
Does every business need an agent?
No. Sometimes a simple workflow or a better search is more reliable — we'll say so.
Can it work with our tools?
Feasibility depends on APIs, access controls, data quality and governance. We confirm these early.
Which AI models do you use?
We choose per project, based on accuracy on your examples, data-handling requirements, cost and where the provider processes data.
