An agent a week, working in your business.
You’ve seen the demos. Maybe you’ve run a pilot. Maybe someone on your team spent a quarter building something in ChatGPT that nobody uses anymore. The Agent Factory exists for exactly that situation: instead of another AI initiative, you get one working agent: built in your environment, doing a real job, reviewed by you on Friday. Then you decide whether to build the next one.

The Process
How It Works
Four steps. One week at a time. Your first agent is typically live within two weeks of signing, with the first days going to access and setup. Once we’re rolling, the rhythm is an agent a week.
Step 1
Pick the workflow
We start with one job worth automating: the daily research task someone dreads, the report that eats a Friday, the inbox that needs triage. In the free assessment we’ll identify your first three candidates and price each one before you commit to anything.
Step 2
We build in your environment
Your agent runs where your business runs: Claude CoWork or your existing stack. No new platform to buy, no vendor system holding your workflow hostage. You own what we build.
Step 3
Your experts give about 2 hours per build day
This is the step most internal AI projects skip, and it’s why they die. Each build day, we need up to two hours from the people who actually do the work, to show us the edge cases, judge the outputs, and correct the agent while it’s still cheap to correct. Agents built without that loop are the ones that get quietly abandoned. Agents built with it are the ones still running a year later.
Step 4
Working agent on Friday. Then you decide
“Working” isn’t our opinion. Before the build day, we agree on success criteria with you: what the agent must do, on what inputs, to what standard. On Friday, you judge the agent against those criteria, running the real job, not a slide about one. The Friday review is also the kill switch: nothing for the next week gets billed until you say go, so your downside is always capped at one agent’s price. Keep going week by week, building down your list. Or stop. There’s no contract pulling you forward, only results.
The Proof
What This Looks Like in Practice
Every relevant RFP in their inbox, every weekday morning
A civil construction contractor was burning skilled-estimator hours every morning hunting public RFP postings across procurement sites. We built them a daily research agent on Claude CoWork: a nationwide search across 15+ public procurement platforms, with every relevant public RFP summarized and in their inbox every weekday morning. Live within two weeks of signing.
Eagle Point Solutions: order processing, rebuilt
Eagle Point Solutions, a technology solutions provider, had order processing as their bottleneck. The result of the automation we built: 95% faster order processing with zero errors, 10x capacity increase without additional headcount, and ROI in 60 days. That was a larger automation engagement; the Agent Factory is how you start smaller, one agent at a time, toward results like these.
Pricing
Priced Per Agent. Billed Weekly.
Agents typically run $2,400–$6,000 each, depending on complexity. No retainer. No minimum commitment. Stop any week.
You’ll know the price of each agent before we build it; that’s part of the free assessment. Billing is weekly, so the spend tracks the work, and the work is something you can see running.
For larger multi-agent programs, we start with a short connection phase to wire up the systems, APIs, and access the agents will need. We’ll scope that with you when it applies.
The Honest Answer
“Why Not Just Do This Ourselves?”
Honest answer: you can. The tools are public, the models are good, and some internal builds succeed. But across three years and 36 client companies, we’ve watched enough internal builds to know exactly where they predictably die:
- No expert-input loop wired into the build. The person building the agent isn’t the person who does the job. Nobody schedules the operators’ time, so the agent ships without their judgment baked in, and the first time it’s confidently wrong, the team stops trusting it. That’s why our process requires 2 hours of your experts per build day. It’s not overhead; it’s the difference between an agent that sticks and one that gets abandoned.
- Data plumbing and permissions nobody owns. The demo worked on a sample file. Production needs API access, credentials, security review, and a decision about what the agent is allowed to touch. That sits between IT, security, and the business; when it’s nobody’s job, it’s where the project stalls for months.
- The week-3 maintenance cliff. The internal builder goes back to their day job. The agent breaks on an edge case, or a system it depends on changes, and there’s no one assigned to fix it. It dies quietly, and the only lasting output is organizational skepticism the next time someone proposes using AI.
A $2,400 agent costs less than a failed internal experiment, and considerably less than the quarter of staff time the experiment consumed before it failed.
Questions
Agent Factory FAQ
What counts as “an agent”?
A piece of software that does a defined job in your business on its own (researching, drafting, processing, monitoring, triaging) and hands you the result. Not a chatbot you have to babysit, and not a dashboard. The daily RFP digest above is one agent. An order-processing automation is one agent. If a job is bigger than that, we’ll tell you in the assessment and scope it as more than one.
What environments do you build in?
Claude CoWork is our default, and we build in your existing stack when that’s the right call. Either way, the agent lives in an environment you control and own. We don’t lock you into a proprietary platform.
What about our data and security?
Every build starts inside your access controls: agents get the minimum permissions needed for the job, and we document what the agent can read, write, and send. Governance isn’t an add-on for us: AI policy and data-handling standards are part of every foundation engagement we run, and the same standards apply to every agent we ship.
Who maintains it after?
Your call. Many clients have us keep agents healthy under a simple maintenance arrangement; others take ownership entirely: everything we build is documented and handed over, with no dependency on us to keep running. What we won’t do is leave you on the week-3 cliff described above.
What do you need from us?
Up to 2 hours per build day from the people who actually do the workflow, typically a few focused sessions during the build week. That’s the whole ask, and it’s non-negotiable, because their judgment is what makes the agent worth keeping. No committee, no steering group, no months of requirements documents.
