AI Agent Development Services
Most AI agents die between the demo and production. We build the ones that ship.
AI agent development is the engineering of LLM-powered systems that plan multi-step work, call tools and APIs, hold memory across turns, and correct themselves without a human prompting each step. A chatbot answers. An agent acts. InApps designs, hardens and operates custom AI agents on LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen and the Model Context Protocol, with evals, guardrails and observability built in before launch, not bolted on after.

Here is what kills them. And what we do instead.
The demo nobody could trust
It worked in the meeting. Then someone asked how often it is right, and no one had a number. Without an eval suite there is no threshold to clear, so the agent never gets permission to touch a real customer.
What we do: we write the eval suite before we write the agent. Go-live is an accuracy number you approve, not a demo you liked.
The integration that was faked
The prototype read a spreadsheet. Production needs your CRM, your ERP, your auth, your rate limits and your audit trail. That gap is where most of the real engineering hides, and where most PoCs quietly stop.
What we do: real systems, real data, week two. Scoped service accounts and least-privilege tokens from the first commit.
The team that left
An agency shipped it and moved on. Two months later the model version changed, token cost doubled, accuracy drifted, and nobody in the building can read the graph.
What we do: your pod stays. Same engineers, your Slack, still tuning it in month twelve. This is what we have done since 2016.
End-to-end AI agent
development services
Single-purpose autonomous agents
One job, done reliably, thousands of times a day. Long-term memory on a vector store, answers grounded on your documents through retrieval so the agent cites a source instead of inventing one.
Multi-agent systems
A planner that decomposes the goal, executors that do the work, a critic that checks it. Explicit handoffs, shared state, deterministic checkpoints you can replay when something goes wrong.
Tool-calling and MCP integration
The agent acts inside the stack you already run Salesforce, SAP, Jira, Zendesk, Postgres, your internal REST endpoints. Every call runs through a scoped service account and lands in an audit log.
AgentOps: evals, guardrails, observability
Accuracy scored per release against your real cases. Token cost and latency tracked per task. Human approval on anything irreversible. One-click rollback to the last version that worked.
LangGraph vs CrewAI vs AutoGen
which framework for your use case?
| Criterion | LangGraph | CrewAI | AutoGen | No framework |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control model | Graph - cyclic state machine | Role-playing crew, sequential or hierarchical | Conversational, event-driven | Hand-built state machine |
| Controllability | Highest. State persistence, checkpoints, replay, human-in-the-loop | Medium. Collaboration by role | High. Strong on complex multi-turn dialogue | Absolute. No abstraction between you and the model |
| Best for | Regulated or auditable workflows that must be deterministic | Research, content, chained operational work | Conversational simulation, code generation | Sub-200ms latency budgets, strict compliance |
| Build effort | Medium to high | Low to medium | Medium | High |
| Where it hurts | Verbose graph code for jobs that are actually simple | Hard to make deterministic when you need an audit trail | Loops can run long, and long loops cost money | You maintain every part of it, forever |
Our default is LangGraph when the workflow has to be auditable, CrewAI when time-to-first-version beats tight control, and no framework at all when the latency budget is under a few hundred milliseconds. We will tell you which one before you sign anything including when the answer is that you do not need an agent.
How much does custom AI
agent development cost?
Between $8,000 and $150,000+, depending on how many systems the agent has to touch. Here is the breakdown.
Build cost and time to production, by scope
| Tier | Budget | Timeline | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof of concept | $8,000 – $20,000 | 2–4 weeks | One agent, single tool call, one internal data source over RAG. Ends in a feasibility verdict, not a maybe. |
| Production workflow | $25,000 – $60,000 | 6–8 weeks | Two to four collaborating agents, layered memory, three to five system integrations across CRM or ERP, eval suite, admin dashboard. |
| Enterprise autonomous system | $70,000 – $150,000+ | 10–16 weeks | Multi-agent orchestration, private VPC or on-prem, compliance review, full AgentOps and CI/CD. |
What moves the number
How many systems it touches.
Two integrations is a week. Nine is a month, because nine means nine sets of auth, rate limits and edge cases.
How high the accuracy bar is.
85% is a prompt and a good retriever. 99% is evals, fallback logic and a human in the loop and that gap is most of the budget.
Where it runs.
A shared model API is cheapest. Your own VPC costs more. Air-gapped on-prem with open-weight models costs the most, and sometimes your regulator has already decided this for you.
Timeline — 4 phases
Discovery and scoping
Use-case scoring, data audit, feasibility analysis, target architecture.
You get: an architecture and scope document.
Prototype and eval
Agent graph, tool integrations, eval suite, grounding on your real data.
You get: a live demo on your data, not on a sample.
Hardening
Guardrails, approval gates, observability, cost optimisation, security review.
You get: a production-ready pipeline.
Deploy and operate
Rollout, monitoring dashboards, runbooks, handover, ongoing tuning.
You get: it running in production, and the pod that keeps it there.
Enterprise AI agents
where they pay for themselves first
Six places we see payback inside a quarter.
| Use case | What the agent does | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Support triage | Reads the ticket, pulls order and account context, resolves or drafts the reply, tags and routes the rest. | Refunds, cancellations, anything a customer could dispute. |
| Document and claims processing | Extracts structured fields from PDFs, invoices, contracts and forms, validates them against your rules, writes to the system of record. | Any record that fails validation twice. |
| Internal knowledge | Answers over Confluence, Notion, tickets and code with a citation, so the answer is checkable. | Questions where retrieval confidence drops below threshold. |
| Sales and CRM hygiene | Researches accounts, enriches records, drafts outreach, keeps the pipeline clean without an SDR doing data entry. | Anything that sends to a prospect unreviewed. |
| Finance operations | Reconciliation, exception handling, anomaly flagging with the evidence attached. | Anything that moves money. Always a human signature. |
| Supply chain exceptions | Watches for the late shipment or the stockout, works the playbook, drafts the customer note. | The commercial judgement call. It escalates with options. |
A support agent we built now handles 80% of inbound tickets without a human. First response went from four hours to thirty seconds.
The five questions
your security team will ask
Where does our data go?
Your VPC, your region, or fully air-gapped on-premise with open-weight models. No client data is used to train anything, ever not ours, not a vendor's.
What can the agent act as?
A scoped service account with least-privilege access to exactly the tools it needs. Every call it makes is logged with the input, the output and the decision that led there.
What stops it doing something stupid?
Deterministic guardrails on the output, human approval gates on anything irreversible, and confidence thresholds that route the uncertain case to a person instead of guessing at it.
What certifications do you hold?
ISO 27001:2022 certified. GDPR-aligned delivery. Where your contract requires SOC 2 or HIPAA controls, we build to them and document the mapping.
Who owns the code and the prompts?
You do. 100%, from day one, in the contract agent code, prompt and graph definitions, eval suite, infrastructure as code. Nothing is locked to our accounts.

that is still here in month twelve
The pod stays after launch
The same engineers who built it keep running it. Model upgrades, prompt tuning, cost control, eval maintenance as your data shifts. This is the offshore development centre model we have run since 2016, pointed at agents.
You talk to the engineers
No account manager between you and the person writing the graph. Your Slack, your standups, your code reviews.
We ship the eval suite first
Go-live is an accuracy number you sign off on. Not a demo that went well in a meeting.
Senior only
Engineers who have shipped production LLM systems before. Nobody is learning the framework on your budget.
Start with a feasibility review
not a contract
AI Agent Feasibility Review five business days, no fee.
You bring the workflow you want automated. We come back with a use-case score, a data-readiness check, a target architecture, a build estimate with a real range, and a straight go or no-go. If the answer is that you do not need an agent, we will say so in writing.
45 minutes to scope it. You will speak to an AI engineer, not a salesperson.
