What changes when it is e-commerce

An AI agent is only worth building if it finishes work. We design agents around the tools and approvals your business already runs on, so the output lands in your systems rather than in a chat window.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how ai agent development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is product recommendations, usually integrated against OMS. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

How is an AI agent different from a chatbot?

A chatbot answers. An agent acts. It plans a sequence of steps, calls real tools and APIs, and changes state in your systems. That difference is why agents need guardrails, approvals and tracing that a chatbot never does.

How long does an agent take to build?

A scoped single-workflow agent typically reaches production in six weeks. Multi-agent systems spanning several departments run longer, and we stage them so the first workflow is live while the rest is still being built.

Can it run on our own infrastructure?

Yes. We deploy on your cloud, in your VPC, or fully on-premise with open-weight models where data residency or regulation requires it.
