Custom AI development & AI agent builds
Custom AI development that runs your core workflow hands-off.
Custom AI development and AI agent development services are the craft behind both of our operating systems — the Fiduciary Onboarding Engine for independent RIAs and the 1-Week Delivery Engine for web-design agencies. When a workflow is core to how your firm makes money, a template won't cut it: we build the production system that runs it — governed, owned by you, and logged end to end, like the system that already runs our own company.

Deliver
Your delivery line moves at the speed of your busiest person
Every handoff waits in someone’s queue. The work stalls the moment one person is out — and you can’t take on more without hiring more.
Most “AI builds” are demos that fall over
A flashy prototype impresses in the meeting, then breaks the first busy week. You’re left with infrastructure nobody trusts and the work back on manual.
You’re flying blind on what’s actually working
When the process lives in people’s heads and scattered tools, there’s no log and no proof — you don’t see where it’s leaking until revenue already dropped.
What’s included
What every AI agent development build ships with.
Agent cascade
Custom AI solution development as a multi-stage pipeline where each step has an owner, an output and a gate.
Persistent memory
Your company’s ground truth, so the system never drifts or forgets.
Live audit log
Every step posts to Slack/Discord — full transparency, in real time.
Self-learning
Successful workflows become reusable operating procedures.
Observability
Dashboards, alerts and health checks so you always know it’s working.
Handoff docs
Operator documentation so your team can run it with confidence.
How it works
From first call to live system.
Teardown
We audit the process and quantify the value at stake.
Blueprint
We design the agents, tools, gates and data flows.
Build
We build in milestones with acceptance gates and live logs.

We operate, monitor and expand the system over time.
Transparent by default
Every step, logged live.
You watch the system work in real time — every step posted to your Slack or Discord as it happens. No black box, no “trust us.”

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How do I know it'll actually work for my workflow?+
We build in milestones with an acceptance target agreed up front, and our Build-Until-It-Works guarantee means we keep building free until the system hits it. You also start with a paid blueprint and ROI model, so you see the numbers before the build.
How is this different from the AI Operator?+
The AI Operator is a done-for-you front-office stack you can switch on. Custom builds are for workflows that are core to how you make money and need their own logic, agents and infrastructure.
Do I own the system, or are you holding it?+
You own the deployed system and your data outright. We keep our reusable frameworks; your business logic and data are yours.
What does custom AI development cost?+
Custom AI development services start with a $3,500 Audit + Roadmap (fully credited), then an engine build from $15,000 for agencies or $25,000 for RIAs; a full multi-agent Firm Operating System is scoped per engagement. You see the ROI model and the number before any build begins, and tools and usage are billed at cost on your own accounts.
Can you show a real example?+
Yes — the Hermes system that runs Provyd, our founder's company, is the same model. Read the case study to see this custom AI development company's work in production.
The Build-Until-It-Works Guarantee
We don’t stop until it works.
We agree on a clear acceptance target before we build. If the system isn’t hitting it, we keep building and optimizing at no extra cost until it does — provided you complete onboarding and approve milestones on time. Most agencies won’t put that in writing because they’re not sure it’ll work. We are.
