AI Agent Suite

AI that works your operation, not just your FAQ

One assistant on the phone, your website and WhatsApp, connected to your system of record.

Most assistants can only talk. Ours look things up, book, change and confirm real transactions in the systems you already run. Built and proven in daily production on a national coach & courier operator, and now offered as a monthly subscription in an environment of your own.

What you can expect:

  • Books, changes and confirms real transactions, and takes payment through your existing gateway
  • Answers calls from the phone system you already run, as well as web chat and WhatsApp
  • Hands over to your team in the same conversation, with the customer's details already on screen
  • A cost dashboard that shows what every conversation actually costs
The live agent console: a person takes over a conversation the AI was holding, with the booking details on screen.
The cost dashboard: what each conversation costs, split by language model, speech and messaging.

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly

What kind of companies do you work with?

Companies with complex operations, where software has to match how the business actually runs. Most of our work is in logistics, transport and travel technology, for clients in Europe and the Caribbean, from national operators to SaaS product companies.

Do you only build AI?

No. AI is one pillar. We also build custom web and mobile applications, integrate systems, engineer SaaS backends and provide Azure architecture and system-design consultancy.

How is the AI Agent Suite priced?

It is a monthly subscription. The price depends on your channels, volumes and integrations, so we agree it with you after a first conversation. Get in touch for a quote.

Can we try it before we commit?

Yes. We start with a 30-day pilot on one channel, measure what it does, and only widen it once you have seen the results.

Where is our data hosted?

Every subscriber gets an environment of its own on Microsoft Azure, with its own database and staff accounts and nothing shared with other customers. If you prefer, we deploy into your own Azure subscription instead.

Which channels can the AI agent handle?

Web chat, WhatsApp and voice calls through the phone system you already run. When a customer needs a person, it hands over to your team in our live agent console, or to the contact-centre platform you already use.

How does a project start?

With a conversation about how your operation runs and what is getting in the way. We reply to every enquiry, usually within one working day.
