Here's how each path actually works

Two ways to put our agent-building expertise to work. Same team, same approach — what changes is what you walk away with.

Path 1

Build me an agent team

Your own AI workforce, running inside your business

You walk away with a team of AI agents that runs alongside your humans — doing real work on your real systems. Customer service. Operations. Knowledge retrieval. Decision support. Whatever the role, we build the agent, wire it into your stack, operate it until it's humming, and hand it off when you're ready.

What we ship into your business:

  • Production agents on your data, with RAG that actually works
  • MCP servers connecting your agents to your existing tools
  • Multi-agent orchestration with real reliability patterns
  • Evaluation, drift detection, and guardrails so it stays good
  • Real integrations to your ERP, CRM, data warehouse

Path 2

Use yours to build me something

Our agent team builds your software for you

You don't want an agent team in your business — you want a piece of software that doesn't exist yet. We'll build it. We point our team of AI development agents at your problem and ship the thing — web app, mobile app, integration, ERP automation, internal tool — at a speed and cost a traditional dev shop can't match.

What we've built this way:

  • Web apps, mobile apps, internal tools
  • Systems integration (REST, GraphQL, EDI)
  • Enterprise ERP automation (Dynamics 365, Oracle)
  • Cloud-native architecture (Azure, AWS)
  • Legacy modernization & data platforms

The ESS Fleet · 36 agents running right now

This is what an agent fleet looks like

A real org chart. A Chief of Staff, a CFO and her finance team, a dev-team lead and his engineers, plus the cross-cutting communications and observability backbone — 36 agents in total, every one in production.

The codenames come from the Transformers. A generational reference, picked for fun. The names are flavor; the work is real.

Why Most Agents Never Ship

The market gives you two choices: hire a Big-4 firm that delivers a slide deck, or self-serve a platform that can't reach your data. Both leave you with a pilot that never makes it to production. We're the third option.

Pilots Without Operators

Every team can build a demo. Almost no one ships one to production. Without senior engineers running the system day to day, pilots become museum pieces.

Strategy Without Shippers

Big-4 consultants hand you a deck, a roadmap, and an invoice. Then they leave. We don't write strategy we're not implementing — every engagement ends with code in production.

Platforms Without Integration

Self-serve agent platforms don't read your ERP, your CRM, or your data warehouse. Real agentic systems need real connections — that's the work, and it's what we've done for 25 years.

How we got here

Three people. Three months.Or one Orchestrator, one month.

For years, we got the same call: “We've got $50K, maybe $100K — can you build our idea? We'll give you equity.” The answer was always no.

Not because we didn't want to help. Because we were being honest about what it actually takes. Building something meaningful — not a prototype, not a demo, but software your business can run on — takes two to three senior people for at least three months. That's the floor.

At market rates that's a serious number. Most of the time the budget didn't cover what would actually need to happen.

One human you talk to. An AI dev fleet doing the typing. We manage everything.

The work that used to need a team and a quarter now ships in a month.

The math is what changed our answer. Every inquiry that used to get a “no” now gets a “let's talk.”

Plain Pricing. Boring Math.

Every other shop in this category hides their pricing. We don't. You can do the math before the call.

The Whole Offer

One Orchestrator

$35,000
per month, flat · month-to-month

One Orchestrator is one senior US technologist plus the AI development agents they command. That's the unit. That's the price. Need more capacity? Add a second Orchestrator at the same rate.

The leverage that makes thirty-five thousand dollars a month plausible — for senior US delivery, in production, no offshore handoffs — is the AI fleet. Big-4 sends five humans for five times the price. We send one human and a fleet that codes around the clock.

What's included
  • One senior US-based Orchestrator dedicated to your engagement
  • The AI development fleet they command (Claude, MCP, agentic tooling)
  • Discovery, build, ship — all in the monthly fee, no change orders
  • Real integrations: ERP, CRM, data warehouse, whatever you run
  • Production deployment, operations, and handoff documentation

AI infrastructure costs (model calls, vector storage, hosting) billed at cost — no markup.

Stop piloting.Start shipping.

Thirty-five thousand dollars. One month. One Orchestrator and the AI dev fleet they command — building real agents on your stack while the Big-4 is still printing slides.
