Custom AI agent development services
I build AI agents that do real work: they research, decide and take actions through your tools and APIs. Each one ships with guardrails, evaluation and the monitoring you need to trust it in production.
Types of agents I build
- Operations agents that process documents, update systems and escalate exceptions to people.
- Customer-facing agents for support, sales and booking across web chat, WhatsApp and email.
- Research and analysis agents that gather data from the web, APIs and internal sources into decisions and reports.
- Coding and engineering agents built on Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK, with custom skills, subagents and MCP servers.
- Multi-agent systems where specialised agents coordinate on larger workflows.
How I build agents that hold up in production
- Tool design first. An agent is only as good as its tools. I design clear, narrow tools and permissions.
- Evals before launch. A test set of real tasks, scored automatically, so changes to prompts or models don't silently break things.
- Guardrails and human-in-the-loop on any action that spends money, contacts customers or changes records.
- Observability: traces of every step, cost per task and failure alerts.
- Model choice per task: frontier models where reasoning matters, small fast models where it doesn't. That's often a large cost saving.

Process
- Scoping call: the job the agent should do, success criteria and risk.
- Prototype in days on real examples.
- Harden: evals, guardrails, integrations, deployment.
- Operate and improve with monitoring, or hand over to your team.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI agent?
An AI agent is a system where a language model decides which steps to take and uses tools such as APIs, databases, browsers or code to complete a goal, rather than just answering a single prompt.
How much does AI agent development cost?
A focused single-purpose agent is a small project. Multi-agent systems with many integrations and strict compliance needs are larger. I give a fixed quote after a scoping call. Ongoing model costs are estimated per task up front.
Which frameworks do you use?
The Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph and plain code, chosen per project. Often the best agent is a small amount of well-structured code around a strong model.
Can an agent work with our internal systems?
Yes. Through APIs, databases or custom MCP servers, with scoped permissions and audit logs.
Can I hire you as an AI agent developer for my team?
Yes. I can join your team as a senior AI agent developer, or provide a managed pod through GenAI Labs. See hire an AI developer.
