AI Agents
Custom AI Agent Development
Off-the-shelf AI tools solve generic problems. If your business has a workflow that no existing tool handles, I build a custom AI agent designed specifically for it.
What's Included
An AI Agent Built Around Your Business — Not Around a Template
Every custom agent project starts with a discovery phase to understand the workflow, the decision logic, the tools involved, and the outcomes the agent needs to produce. What gets built depends entirely on what you need — not on what a platform happens to support.
Workflow Discovery and Scoping
A structured discovery process to understand the workflow in detail — inputs, decision points, tools involved, exception handling, and the output the agent needs to produce.
Custom Agent Architecture
Design the agent's structure: single-agent vs. multi-agent orchestration, tool definitions, memory architecture, and the decision loop logic that controls how it works through a task.
Custom Tool and API Development
Build custom tool functions that connect the agent to your internal systems, proprietary data sources, and third-party APIs that no existing platform integrates with out of the box.
Domain-Specific Training and Prompting
Craft the system prompt, few-shot examples, and knowledge base that give the agent deep expertise in your domain — the difference between a generic AI and one that knows your business.
Testing and Reliability Engineering
Build an evaluation suite with real task scenarios and edge cases. The agent only ships when it handles the hard cases — not just the easy ones.
Documentation and Handoff
Full technical documentation covering the agent's architecture, tool definitions, prompt structure, and maintenance guide. You own and understand what was built.
How It Works
My Custom Agent Development Process
I scope every project before quoting it. The complexity of an agent build varies significantly based on the number of tools, the decision complexity, and the quality of existing system APIs. Discovery prevents surprises.
Discovery
A paid discovery engagement to fully map the workflow, assess technical feasibility, identify integration requirements, and define the success criteria for the agent.
Architecture and Scoping
Deliver an architecture document and fixed-scope build proposal. You know exactly what will be built, how long it will take, and what the agent will and will not do.
Build and Iterate
Build in milestones with working demos at each stage. You see the agent working on real tasks throughout the build — not just at the end.
Test, Deploy, and Hand Off
Run the evaluation suite, deploy to your environment, and hand off with full documentation and a 30-day support window for post-launch issues.

Who It's For
For Businesses With Workflows That No Existing Tool Handles
Custom agent development makes sense when the workflow is complex enough that off-the-shelf automation falls short, but valuable enough that a custom build pays for itself within a few months.
