Custom AI Agents

Understand when to build vs. buy, evaluate agent architectures, and deploy safely.

A custom agent is useful when a repeated job depends on your internal context, connected systems, or decisions that need review. Before building, define who uses it, what starts the work, which information it can access, and when a person must approve or take over.
