Question 1

What is an AI agent, in plain English?

Accepted Answer

An AI agent is software that uses a language model to autonomously complete tasks  -  reading documents, searching data, sending communications, making decisions, and taking actions  -  within defined boundaries and with human oversight built in. Think of it as a highly capable digital colleague that handles a specific job, reliably and at scale.

Question 2

How long does a typical deployment take, from kick-off to production?

Accepted Answer

Simple, single-system agents: 4–6 weeks. Complex agents with multiple integrations and decision logic: 8–16 weeks. We scope accurately upfront so you know the timeline before we start.

Question 3

How is data security, privacy, and compliance handled?

Accepted Answer

Agents operate within your existing security perimeter. We implement access controls, audit logging, data handling policies, and  -  where required  -  on-premise or private cloud deployment. All builds are compliant with UK GDPR and any industry-specific regulations relevant to your business.

Question 4

Which platforms and models do you use?

Accepted Answer

We're platform-flexible. We select the right model for each use case  -  Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini, or open-source alternatives  -  based on accuracy, cost, latency, and privacy requirements. We have no commercial incentive to use any specific platform.

Question 5

How do agents integrate with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Via APIs, webhooks, and direct database connections. We've built integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, Xero, and dozens of bespoke systems. Integration complexity is scoped and priced upfront.

Question 6

Who maintains the agent after deployment, and how is it monitored?

Accepted Answer

We offer ongoing management through our AI Managed Services practice  -  covering performance monitoring, model updates, and iterative improvement. Alternatively, we provide full documentation and knowledge transfer for your team to own it independently.

Question 7

What does it cost to build and run an agent?

Accepted Answer

Build cost is fixed-fee based on scope. Running costs (model API calls, infrastructure) are transparent and optimised during build  -  we model cost-per-task upfront so you know the economics before committing.

Question 8

How do you control quality and accuracy, and what happens when an agent gets something wrong?

Accepted Answer

We use an evals-first approach: every agent is benchmarked against a comprehensive test suite before going live. In production, we implement confidence thresholds and human-in-the-loop escalation for cases where the agent is uncertain  -  so mistakes are caught before they have consequences.
