NVIDIAWhat we build
Agents we've shipped.
Custom agents, not a SaaS subscription. Four of the patterns we ship most.
Intake Agent
Answers every inbound call, qualifies the lead, books the calendar, and texts a confirmation in under 60 seconds.
Recent build
A trades co. wanted every after-hours call captured. We shipped a voice agent that mirrors their dispatcher's qualifying script and writes back to ServiceTitan.
Follow-Up Agent
Runs multi-touch follow-up sequences for prospects that didn't book the first time. Reply triage escalates real responses to your inbox.
Recent build
An accountant's warm-lead bucket sat in HubSpot un-nurtured for years. The follow-up agent re-engages every 14 days, hands hot replies to the partner.
Review Agent
Requests reviews after every closed job, posts them where it counts, responds to incoming reviews — good and bad — in your voice.
Recent build
A roofer wanted Google reviews but never asked. The agent SMS-asks 30 min after job close, drafts the response copy, founder approves with one tap.
Cyber Agent
Continuous monitoring of every AI workflow + domain controls. Flags renewal-time gaps. Delivers a carrier-ready affidavit in 14 days. (Ascero Watch.)
Recent build
An insurance broker needed SOC-2-lite controls for her cyber renewal. The cyber agent scanned, remediated 9 of 12 controls, shipped the PDF.
