Capabilities
Five systems we put in production.
Most AI projects die in pilot. Ours live in operations. These are the five shapes the work tends to take.
Ground-up internal AI applications
The biggest AI wins for industrial and energy operators are the internal applications nobody outside the company ever sees. The safety reporting tool. The spec-lookup portal. The ticket triage system. We build these from scratch, AI-native from the first line of code, wired to your data, and shipped fast.
Custom internal apps designed around one operational workflow at a time
AI-native from day one, built into the core of the application
Grounded in your SOPs, spec sheets, and ticket history
Deployed inside your existing auth, SSO, and infra
First working version shipped in weeks
LLM copilots grounded in your data
A generic chatbot wrapper is a liability. It will confidently hallucinate pricing, policies, and specs. We build retrieval-augmented copilots grounded in your SOPs, spec sheets, and ticket history. Citations on every answer. Guardrails on everything else. Multi-vendor by design.
Retrieval-augmented generation over your documents and tickets
Citations on every answer, traceable back to the source document
Role-based access so reps, ops, and execs see different slices
Multi-vendor by design, matched to the job
Deployed inside the tools your team already uses
Agentic workflows for operational tasks
Agents are finally good enough to run the boring, repetitive pieces of your operation. Ticket triage. Inventory checks. Vendor follow-ups. Quote drafting. We build agentic workflows grounded in your systems, with the guardrails and human-in-the-loop checkpoints that keep them from going sideways.
Multi-step agents with tool use, memory, and planning
Secure interfaces that expose your internal systems to agents
Human approval checkpoints on high-stakes actions
Observability on every agent decision and tool call
Multi-vendor by design, matched to the job
Document and form extraction
Back offices still run on PDFs. POs, ACORDs, inspection reports, bills of lading, safety datasheets, medical forms. We turn that paper pipeline into structured data, with accuracy and audit trails that hold up when finance or the auditor asks.
POs, invoices, and quotes, structured out to your ERP
Field inspection reports and safety forms
Bills of lading, customs docs, and trade paperwork
Human-in-the-loop review for low-confidence extractions
Audit logs and versioning for every document processed
Computer vision for quality and safety
From plant floors and yards to production lines and clinical settings, we ship camera-based inspection and monitoring that runs on commodity hardware and doesn't need a PhD to maintain. We pick the boring, reliable models over the shiny ones.
Defect detection on production lines
PPE and safety-compliance monitoring
Yard, inventory, and asset counting
Edge deployment on rugged cameras and embedded hardware
Retraining pipelines your ops team can run themselves
Engagement
The path from pilot to production.
Weeks 1 to 2
Find the real win
Two weeks on-site and on calls. We watch the workflow, talk to the people doing the work, and identify the one or two AI projects with real ROI. You leave with a priced roadmap your team can ship against.
Weeks 3 to 6
Ship the first system
First end-to-end AI system in production. Grounded in your data, citations on every answer, wired into the tools your team already uses. Something they can use on day one.
Weeks 7 to 16
Iterate against real use
Weekly updates to prompts, retrieval, and workflows based on what your team does with it. The eval suite grows every week, and regressions get caught the same way uptime does.
Week 16+
Hand off the keys
Your ops team owns the evals, prompts, retrieval indices, and runbooks. We stay on call for model swaps and new workloads.
Proof
AI in real operations.
Work where AI earns its keep every day, across industrial, energy, and enterprise operations.
