AI agent development in the United States

AI agents for US businesses that are done with the busywork

From a five-person startup in Austin to an agency in Chicago and an enterprise with a leaky pipeline, we build autonomous agents that take the repetitive work off your team — on Hermes, OpenClaw, or a stack we choose with you. We scope the first agent free.

Most US teams we talk to don't have an "AI problem." They have a repetition problem. The same follow-ups go cold every week. The same data gets re-keyed into three systems. The same research sits in a tab nobody closes. Those are exactly the jobs an autonomous AI agent is good at — repetitive, rule-based, and high-volume — and they are exactly what we build.

We're a remote studio, but we run delivery around US business hours, from the East Coast to the West. You get replies in your working day, not a 3 a.m. ping from a team on the other side of the world. And because deployments are self-hosted by default, your data stays in your own environment — which means US teams can keep everything on US infrastructure and out of someone else's training set.

We're not a chatbot shop. A chatbot answers; an agent acts — it pulls the data, sends the message, updates the record, and reports back. If a task can be described as a workflow, we can probably automate it. And we start every US engagement with a free agent blueprintthat scopes the highest-value automation before you pay a cent.

What US teams build with us

The work is the same everywhere — the framing is local. US teams we work with tend to be scaling fast and hiring slowly, so the agent has to earn its keep on day one:

What we build for US teams

AI agent development services for the work that drains you

Lead generation agents

Qualify, enrich, route, and follow up the moment intent appears — so no opportunity leaks out of your pipeline. Respond in seconds, not hours.

Customer support agents

Triage tickets, draft replies, and clear the common questions 24/7 without ballooning your support headcount. Deflection rates of 30–50% are typical.

Ops & admin agents

Inbox triage, scheduling, data entry, and reporting handled automatically the moment the work lands. Reclaim the hours your team spends on work a machine should do.

Research agents

Market, competitor, and account research compiled into briefs your team can act on — not bookmark and forget. Updated on a schedule you set.

Custom workflow agents

Bespoke agents engineered on your own data and tools for the process only your business has — the one off-the-shelf cannot touch.

Self-hosted enterprise agents

Model-agnostic deployments with audit logs, role-based access control, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints your security team will actually approve.

Built for how US teams actually work

A few things matter specifically to US businesses, and we've built the engagement around them:

Whether you're a founder wearing every hat, an agency adding a white-label AI service, or a revenue team that can't hire fast enough, the model is the same: automate the repetitive work so your people focus on what moves revenue.

How AI agent development works

Every engagement follows the same structure, because structure is what keeps agent development from becoming a science project:

1. Free blueprint. We map your workflow, identify the highest-value automation, choose the right framework (Hermes, OpenClaw, or custom), and scope the build. You see exactly what the agent will do, what it will cost in USD, and how long it will take — before you commit anything.

2. Proof on real work. We don't build demos. We build the agent on your actual workflow, with your actual data, handling your actual edge cases — and you watch it process real work.

3. Measure and decide. We track time saved, accuracy, and escalation rate. You see the numbers, then decide whether to expand — based on results, not promises.

4. Scale. Add workflows, integrations, and agents. The architecture is designed to grow without re-architecting the system.

Frameworks: how we choose

We're not tied to one framework. We choose the one that fits your problem:

You don't need to know which you need. That's part of the blueprint — we assess the workflow, the integrations, and the governance needs, then recommend the right path.

What it costs — honestly

AI agent development cost depends on the workflow's complexity, the number of integrations, and whether you need a single agent or an orchestrated system. We don't publish a price list because every build is different, and a price list would be dishonest.

What we can tell you: the free blueprint gives you a fixed scope and a fixed price inUSD before any invoice. For context, comparable US AI agent development companies charge roughly $150–$250/hour for production builds. We scope the work as a project, not an hourly engagement, so you know the total cost upfront — and there's no retainer to start.

Questions

Do you work US business hours?

Yes. We run delivery and support aligned to US time zones, from the East Coast to the West, so questions asked during your working day get answered the same day.

Where does my data live?

Deployments are self-hosted and model-agnostic by default, so your data stays in your own environment — US teams can keep everything on US infrastructure. We never use your data to train someone else's model.

How are you priced for US clients?

We scope each build as a fixed-price project in USD after the free blueprint, so there's no hourly drift. Comparable US studios charge $150–$250/hr; we give you a total cost upfront with no retainer to start.

What does an AI agent development company actually do?

We design, build, and run autonomous agents that automate repetitive business work — lead follow-up, data entry, research, reporting, support. We work in Hermes and OpenClaw and also build fully custom agents, and we start every engagement with a free blueprint.

How long does it take to deploy an AI agent?

After the blueprint, we typically ship a working agent on one high-value workflow in days rather than months, prove it on your real work, then expand into a connected system once it's clearly paying off.

What business tasks can an AI agent automate?

Common examples include inbox triage and email follow-ups, lead qualification and routing, CRM enrichment, research and market analysis, proposal and report generation, scheduling, customer support, and multi-step processes that span several apps.

Can you integrate with our US-based stack?

Yes. Agents connect to the tools US teams already run — Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, Slack, and Gmail among them — so there is no migration. We wire the agent into your stack and prove it on your real work.
