Outcomes, not tokens. Inside your boundary.

Forward Deployed Research Engineers embed with your teams to design, build and operate intelligence where your software work actually happens.

Outcome ownership

We don't hand off models. We take joint responsibility for outcomes, adoption and measurable, long-lasting business impact.

Inside your security boundary

Deploy on-prem, in your VPC or on workstations (defense only). Your data never leaves your control. Role-based access control for humans and agents by default.

Built for complex environments

We work across heterogeneous environments: multi-cloud, legacy systems and air-gapped networks. No rip-and-replace.

Executive-grade governance

Risk controls and auditability as a feature, co-designed in the toughest environments. All aligned to enterprise review boards and CISO requirements.

  2. 2

    Embed

    Forward Deployed Research Engineers sit with your product, engineering and platform teams. We integrate with your data sources, repositories, pipelines and production systems within your controls. We build customized single and multi-agent solutions to do this.

  3. 3

    Ship

    Deliver agents (and multi-agent orchestration), APIs and developer surfaces that create daily value for your engineers and operators.

  4. 4

    Operate

    Hardening, observability and adoption programs ensure reliability and measurable ROI across the enterprise.
