AI agent consulting
AI agent consulting, for your operations rather than tools for the sales team: we help you pick the workflows where an autonomous agent earns its keep, build them, and put guardrails around them so they can run in production.
Which workflows earn an agent
An agent is worth the extra machinery when a task runs several steps, needs judgement between them, and has a clear way to check the result: think triage that routes and acts, research that gathers and drafts, a back-office process with branches a fixed script can’t cover. A lot of work sold as “agentic” is a single model call dressed up. We separate the two in the assessment, so you build agents where they pay and skip them where a plainer tool wins.
How an engagement works
Everything starts with the assessment: fixed scope, 3–6 weeks, priced at $20,000 to $80,000 (where in that range depends on scope: how many systems and teams we assess, company size, and regulatory exposure). At the end you get a ranked list of candidate workflows, a design for the ones worth building, and the guardrails each will need, with costs attached. The build is fixed scope too. For context, published 2026 ranges put a scoped production build at $50,000–$250,000. And that band is a single scoped build; multi-system, multi-year programs run seven figures and beyond, and scale like that is work we take.
What you get out of it
- A clear read on which of your workflows justify an agent, and which don’t.
- Agents running in production on your infrastructure, with approval gates on anything sensitive and least-privilege access to every tool they call.
- Logging and evaluations so you, and your auditors, can see what an agent did and why.
- A cost you knew before the work began.
Where this connects
Building an agent is AI implementation work; governing one is AI governance consulting. If you’re earlier than that and just weighing generative AI at all, start with generative AI consulting. The full menu is on the services page.
Who you’d be working with
Nick Major, an engineer of fifteen-plus years who builds AI systems in production, and Isaac Major, an operator who has run growth and revenue teams inside global enterprises. They work from Lisbon and Salt Lake City. Full backgrounds are on the about page. We’re a young firm, so there are no case studies or client logos here yet; what we show instead is published pricing, a fixed-scope process, and the senior people who do the work.
Questions people ask
- What is AI agent consulting?
- Help deciding where an autonomous agent is worth it, then building and governing one into production. An agent is a system that takes several steps on its own toward a goal, calling tools and updating your systems as it goes. The consulting part is picking the few workflows that justify that, and refusing the ones that don’t.
- Which workflows actually deserve an agent?
- The ones with several steps, real judgement between them, and a clear way to check the result, where a fixed script would be too brittle. Plenty of work labelled “agentic” is a single call with extra steps bolted on. We separate the two in the assessment, because an agent you don’t need is just a more expensive way to be wrong.
- What guardrails do production agents need?
- Approval gates on anything sensitive, least-privilege access to each tool it can call, logging of every action so you can trace what it did, and evaluations that catch bad behaviour before it ships. Governing agents overlaps with our AI governance consulting and AI risk assessment work.
- How much does AI agent consulting cost?
- Every engagement starts with a fixed-scope assessment at $20,000 to $80,000, delivered in 3–6 weeks. Published 2026 ranges put a scoped production build at $50,000–$250,000. Ongoing advisory retainers run $5,000–$15,000 per month; retainers at that band cover a steady advisory seat; embedded fractional leadership across a large organization prices well above it. The full picture is in our AI consulting rates guide.
- Do we own the agents you build?
- Yes. We build on your infrastructure and hand over the code, the tools, the evaluations, and the documentation. We take no resale margin and no vendor commission, so the design is the one that fits your workflow, not our margin.
