FIG 02 · Quick answer

What does an AI agent development company do?

An AI agent development company designs, builds and runs software agents that plan steps and use your tools, data and APIs to finish tasks, not just answer questions. Elgrith builds custom AI agents with guardrails, human approval steps, evaluation tests and MCP integrations. We built the agent and MCP access inside Kenerate AI, our flagship product.

FIG 03 · Why it matters

Agents are on every roadmap. Few reach production.

From Stanford HAI’s AI Index 2025 and an IBM and Morning Consult survey of 1,000 enterprise AI developers.

FIG 04 · Definition

What an AI agent is (and isn’t)

An AI agent is software that uses a language model to decide its next step, calls tools and APIs to act, checks the result and keeps going until the task is done. A chatbot answers; an agent acts. Here is when each option fits.

Chatbot, AI agent, workflow automation or RPA?
ChatbotAI agentWorkflow automation (n8n, Zapier)RPA
Best forAnswering questions from your contentMulti-step tasks that need judgment and toolsFixed, repeatable steps between appsLegacy screens with no API
AutonomyLow: it replies, a person actsMedium to high, inside the limits you setNone: it follows the rules you wroteNone: it replays recorded clicks
Example“What is your refund policy?”Research a lead, update the CRM, draft the email for approvalNew form entry → CRM record → Slack alertCopy invoice data out of an old desktop system
When not to useWhen the user needs something done, not explainedWhen the steps never change: automation is cheaperWhen inputs are messy and need reading and judgmentWhen an API exists: integrate instead

The best systems often combine them: automation for the fixed steps, an agent for the judgment calls.

FIG 05 · What you get

AI agent development services

Six services, one goal: an agent that finishes real tasks safely, measured against the work your team does today.

Network of connected glass nodes with a blue core: AI agent orchestration
AI Agent Development · built in-house

01

Agent strategy and use-case scoping

We rank your workflows by value and risk, pick the one to automate first and agree what success looks like before any code is written.

02

Custom AI agent development

Single agents and multi-agent systems with tool calling, memory and planning, on the model and framework that fits each task.

03

MCP server development and tool integrations

MCP servers and API connectors for your CRM, ERP, helpdesk and internal systems, so your agents, and assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use them.

04

RAG and knowledge agents

Agents that search your documents, tickets and databases, cite their sources and respect who is allowed to see what.

05

Guardrails, governance and human-in-the-loop

Least-privilege permissions, approval gates for irreversible actions, audit logs and a kill-switch, designed in from the first sprint.

06

Evaluation, observability and optimization

Eval sets built from real tasks, tracing on every run and regression tests before each release, so quality and cost are measured, not guessed.

FIG 08 · Safety

How we keep agents safe

An agent that can act can also act wrongly. These controls are part of every build, not an add-on.

07principles

  • Least-privilege tool access

    Each tool gets only the scopes it needs, with read and write access kept separate.

  • Prompt-injection defenses

    Content from emails, web pages and files is treated as data, never as instructions, and risky outputs are filtered.

  • Approval gates

    Refunds, payments, deletions and outbound messages wait for a person to approve them.

  • Audit logs

    Every step, tool call and decision is logged, so you can see what the agent did and why.

  • Rate and spend limits

    Caps on actions, tokens and cost, per run and per day.

  • Kill-switch

    One switch pauses the agent and hands the work back to your team.

  • Data residency and privacy

    US, UK or EU cloud regions, with data handling designed around UK GDPR and US privacy laws.

FIG 09 · Measurement

How we measure an agent

Before launch we build an eval set from real tasks your team has already done. Every release is scored against it.

The agent scorecard
MetricWhat it tells youHow we measure it
Task success rateShare of tasks finished correctly, end to endScored against the eval set by rules and LLM-as-judge, with human spot checks
Escalation rateHow often the agent hands work to a personLogged on every run and reviewed with you
Tool-call accuracyWhether it picked the right tool with the right inputsTraced step by step in Langfuse or LangSmith
LatencyHow long one task takesMedian and slowest runs, per task type
Cost per taskModel and API spend for one finished taskTokens and API calls counted per run
RegressionsWhether a change made anything worseThe full eval suite runs before each release

This is the scorecard we set up for every agent. Targets are agreed with you during the pilot; we don’t quote benchmark numbers before we have seen your data.

FIG 10 · Process · 5 steps

Pilot first, then scale

One workflow, proven on real data, with a fixed written quote for each phase. Production comes only after the evals pass.

  1. Step 01

    Discovery: one workflow

    We map one workflow end to end: the trigger, the tools, the data, the risks and what “done” means. You get a written scope and a fixed quote.

  2. Step 02

    Prototype on real data

    A working agent on your real tools and data, plus the eval set that scores it. You see quality in numbers, not demos.

  3. Step 03

    Pilot with humans in the loop

    Your team uses the agent with approval gates on. We tune prompts, tools and models until the scorecard holds.

  4. Step 04

    Production rollout

    Permissions, limits, logging and monitoring go live in cloud accounts registered to your business, rolled out in stages.

  5. Step 05

    Monitor and improve

    We watch real runs, add new cases to the eval set and swap in better or cheaper models as they arrive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about AI Agent Development with Elgrith.

A chatbot answers questions. An AI agent plans and takes actions: it calls your tools and APIs, checks the result and keeps going across several steps until the task is done. Many projects start as a chatbot on your own content and grow into an agent once it is clear which actions it should take, and with what approvals.
