AI Agent Development

AI agent development services that ship to production.

AI agents that take repetitive work off your team, run inside the tools you already use, and pass tests before they go live.

  • Agent design + tool use, scoped to your operations
  • Testing (evals) and monitoring, because we only ship what we can measure
  • Production deployment with the surrounding web stack

The business case

You're paying people to do work machines should handle.

Ticket triage, lead qualification, document review, report generation: 5-20 hours of staff time a week, done by hand.

Most AI work for SMBs stops at a demo. We build AI agents that connect to the tools you already run, pass tests before they touch customers, and ship with monitoring your team can read.

If the term is new to you, start with what an AI agent actually is and how it differs from a chatbot.

Proof

Production software we've shipped.

None of these is an AI agent. They show the engineering an agent runs on in production: role checks on every request, approval flows, audit trails and media pipelines on AWS.

What we build

Four types of agents, one production standard.

AI agent development at Metageeks: Workflow automation across your back office.

Workflow automation across your back office.

Operations agents move data between your tools so staff stop re-keying it.

  • Approval routing + escalation paths
  • Data sync between disconnected systems
  • Report generation + distribution
AI agent development at Metageeks: Tier-1 resolution without the queue.

Tier-1 resolution without the queue.

Support agents resolve what they can and escalate what they can't.

  • FAQ + knowledge base resolution
  • Ticket triage + priority scoring
  • CRM lookup + response drafting
AI agent development at Metageeks: Lead qualification that runs while you sleep.

Lead qualification that runs while you sleep.

Sales agents qualify leads, score them against your ideal customer profile (ICP) and hand them off.

  • ICP scoring + enrichment
  • Outreach drafting + sequencing
  • CRM update + handoff memo
AI agent development at Metageeks: Turn paperwork into data your systems can use.

Turn paperwork into data your systems can use.

Data agents read documents and forms, extract the fields you need, and act on them.

  • Contract + invoice extraction
  • Email classification + routing
  • Form processing + validation

What's included

Four non-negotiables, in every build.

01

Agent design + tool use

You sign off on tools, data access and actions.

02

Test suite

Realistic test cases run before every deploy, and a failing test blocks the release.

03

Monitoring dashboard

Every call is logged with its inputs, outputs, latency and cost, readable without code.

04

Production deployment

Auth, rate limiting, error handling and rollback gates, deployed as a live service.

AI agent monitoring dashboard showing call logs, latency, and cost tracking

Every agent ships with dashboards your team can read without writing code.

Built for

Right for some. Not for everyone.

Developer deploying an AI agent to production with green status indicators
Team handoff session for an AI agent development engagement

Built for

  • Growing businesses whose operations already run on software
  • A workflow that costs your team 5+ hours a week
  • At least one technical contact on your team
  • Comfortable running production AI without hand-holding

Not a fit

  • Pre-revenue businesses, where the ROI math doesn't work yet
  • Projects with undefined requirements or moving scope
  • Businesses that need a vendor to manage the AI after delivery

Start with a scoping call.

A scoping call finds the agent worth building first. You get the scope and an estimate in writing, and you own the code. To size a build before the call, read our guide to custom AI agent cost.

Common questions

Quick answers.

What is AI agent development?+

AI agent development is building software that uses AI to complete multi-step tasks on its own. The agent calls APIs, reads data, makes decisions and takes action, so nobody has to click through each step. Unlike a chatbot, an agent can triage a support ticket, look up the customer record, draft a reply and log the outcome in a single run.

How long does it take to build an AI agent?+

Most production-ready agents take 4-8 weeks from scoping to deployment. Weeks 1-2 cover requirements and architecture, weeks 3-5 are build and testing, and weeks 6-8 are integration and production rollout. The timeline depends on how many external systems the agent has to connect to.

How much does AI agent development cost?+

Three things drive the number: how many tools the agent needs to act on, whether outputs need a human review gate, and how much retrieval work your data demands. A single-agent build with a couple of integrations sits at one end; a multi-agent system with a full testing pipeline sits at the other. Every build starts with a written scope, defined acceptance criteria and an estimate of effort, so you can budget before you commit. Billing follows the work against that scope, and any change goes through a written change order first.

What's the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?+

A chatbot responds to messages. An AI agent acts on them. Agents connect to the tools you already run (CRM, databases, email, APIs) and can complete a workflow end to end without a person stepping in at each step. A chatbot can't update a record or send a notification on its own.

Do you use OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or something else?+

We pick the model per job. GPT-4o is strong at structured data extraction and tool use. Claude handles long documents and nuanced reasoning well. Open-weight models like Llama suit latency-sensitive or on-premise deployments. We choose the model during architecture, and we don't start from a default.

What monitoring is included after launch?+

Every agent we ship includes call logging, latency and cost tracking, and a test suite that runs on each deployment. Your team gets dashboards it can read without touching code, so you can see what the agent did and catch issues early.
