Tool use
Agents act, not just answer. Scoped, permissioned tools let them research, draft, and execute across your systems.
Platform
The agentic harness
Everything an AI agent needs to do real work reliably: tools, retrieval, memory, and the guardrails that keep it correct.
Capabilities
What the harness gives every agent
The components we build, operate, and improve so our ventures don't have to.
Retrieval (RAG)
Hybrid retrieval over your documents and data, so answers are grounded in your knowledge, not the model's guesses.
Context compaction
Long-running agents stay coherent. We compress history without losing the facts that matter, run after run.
Memory
Durable memory across sessions and workflows, so agents learn your context and stop asking twice.
Orchestration
Pods of specialized agents, each owning a stage of a workflow, coordinated toward a finished deliverable.
Evaluation & monitoring
Every capability is measured. Regression suites and live monitoring catch drift before your users do.
Built for regulated fields
Compliance isn't a feature, it's the architecture
In regulated industries, data handling is the first objection to AI, and it should be. We prioritize open-weight models you can run where your data lives, scope every tool's permissions, and keep a human in the loop by default.
- Open-weight models you can self-host, or bring your own key
- Scoped, auditable tool permissions
- Human review and approval built into workflows

From research to production
How the harness gets deployed
A venture goes from expertise to always-on agents in four steps.
Equip
We load the harness with a field's documents, processes, products, and rules of engagement.
Orchestrate
We assemble a pod of specialized agents that each own a stage of the workflow.
Evaluate
We measure quality against real cases and tune until it clears the bar for the field.
Operate
The pod runs continuously, monitored for drift, with humans reviewing what matters.

If you know an industry inside out, we can equip agents with that expertise. Let's talk.
