Enterprise AI agent development

Custom AI agents, built into the software you already run.

Enterprise AI agents and custom AI solutions designed around how your team actually works. They run inside your CRM, ERP, inbox and internal tools, and take a workflow from intake to action to reporting. Measured against your baseline, with people approving what matters.

  • No migration
  • Tested on your real cases
  • Human approval built in

One agent system, the whole workflow

  1. 01

    Intake

  2. 02

    Understand

  3. 03

    Decide

  4. 04

    Act in your systems

  5. 05

    Report

Orders, invoices, reports, approvals, onboarding and internal requests, handled end to end. People step in on exceptions and anything that needs judgment.

The problem

Most companies are adding AI one tool at a time. Each one does a piece of the job. Your team is still the one connecting them.

Dapto connects the process, not just the tools.

  • Lead generation

    A sales tool finds leads.

  • Sales

    An outreach tool sends messages.

  • Customer service

    A chatbot answers questions.

  • CRM

    A CRM stores customer information.

  • Operations

    An automation tool moves data.

What fills the gaps today

  • Manual handoffs
  • Copy and paste
  • Missed follow-ups
  • Spreadsheets
  • Slack messages
  • Someone chasing it all

An agent that answers one inbox isn't transformation. We build agent systems that handle a workflow from start to finish, from intake to action to reporting, so whole chains of manual work disappear.

We map the whole process first

  1. 1

    Where does the work start?

    A form, a call, a signal

  2. 2

    What information is needed?

    CRM, orders, policies

  3. 3

    What decisions get made?

    Qualify, route, refund

  4. 4

    Which systems are involved?

    Inbox, calendar, help desk

  5. 5

    Where does a person step in?

    Approvals and exceptions

How it works

Most AI projects stall before production. Ours follow the practices that get them there: start from the workflow, measure a baseline, test on real cases, roll out in stages and keep improving. The same four steps apply to any workflow, prebuilt or custom.

    AI Opportunity Audit

    We study how the work really happens and measure it, so we automate the right thing and can prove the result.

    • Map the workflow end to end: people, systems, decisions and handoffs
    • Measure today's baseline: volume, time, cost and error rate
    • Decide which steps need an agent, and which need simple automation or should stay with a person
    • Rank opportunities by value and risk, then agree the first build and its success target

    Workflow design and build

    We redesign the workflow around the agent and prove it works on your real cases before it touches live work.

    • Redesign the workflow with a clear human role at every step
    • Give each agent a job description: its tasks, tools, permissions and your Brand Core
    • Build a test set from your real past cases, with your experts defining what good looks like
    • Reuse our prebuilt agents and components, and build only what is unique to you
    Your partYour experts review the test cases and approve the business rules.OutputAI Workflow Architecture

    Production deployment

    The agent goes live inside your existing systems in stages, so nothing breaks and trust is earned.

    • Connect to your systems with only the access the agent needs. No migration
    • Run in shadow mode first, side by side with your team
    • Go live on a small share of the work, then expand once the targets hold
    • Keep human approval on risky actions, with a rollback plan ready

    We look past the single task and automate the whole process wherever it makes sense.

  • Built around your systems

    We connect to the tools and data your business already uses. Nothing to migrate.

  • People stay where they matter

    Agents work on their own where it is safe and hand decisions to a person when judgment is needed.

  • Designed for production

    Monitoring, evaluation, permissions, knowledge management and security are part of the build, not an add-on.

AI Governance

Guardrails on every agent we deploy

Agents only touch what they are allowed to, and a person approves anything that matters. Built into every deployment, with stricter controls for enterprise teams.

Available for enterprise deployments
  • Control what each agent can see and do
  • Set policies per workflow
  • Log and monitor every action
  • Evaluate outputs before they ship
  • Require approval for sensitive steps

FAQ

Common questions about custom AI agent projects.

What is AI agent development?

AI agent development is designing, building and deploying AI agents that do real work inside a business: reading documents, updating systems, answering customers and handing decisions to people. Dapto builds custom AI agent systems that run inside your existing software, starting from prebuilt agents where they fit, and tests them on your real cases before they go live.

What are enterprise AI agents?

Enterprise AI agents are AI agents that run inside a company's own systems, such as its CRM, ERP, inbox and internal tools, and carry out whole workflows with the access, approvals and logging a business needs. Dapto builds them as custom AI solutions around how each team works: every agent gets only the permissions it needs, sensitive steps go to a person, and every action is logged.

What happens in the AI Opportunity Audit?

It is a working session, not a sales pitch. We go through how your work runs today, measure where time and money are lost, identify where an agent could realistically take over, which systems it would need to connect to, and what to build first.

How long does it take to build an AI agent?

It depends on the workflow and the systems involved. Because most builds start from agents and components we have already built, they move faster than a build from scratch. The audit gives you a clear plan before anything is built.

Do we need to change our software?

No. Agents connect to the systems you already use through their APIs and integrations, within the permissions you set. Nothing is migrated or replaced.

How do you make sure the agent is reliable?

We build a test set from your real past cases and agree a success target before go-live. The agent runs in shadow mode first, then on a small share of the work, and only expands once the targets hold.

How much of my team's time does this take?

Your team gives us context on the workflow and access to the right systems in a few working sessions, then reviews test results and approves each stage of the rollout. We handle the design, build and deployment.

What if we already know what we want to automate?

Good. The audit then confirms the baseline and success target for that workflow, and we move straight into design.

What does custom AI agent development cost?

Pricing depends on the workflows, systems and number of agents involved. We share it after the AI Opportunity Audit, once the scope and the expected result are clear.
