AI & Agent Automation
Applied AI in operations — including self-hosted agents on your own infrastructure.
Most organisations are paying for AI licences that produce very little, because nobody has connected the tools to the work. The value is not in the model; it is in wiring it to real systems, with real guardrails, on tasks that genuinely repeat.
This is the newest part of the practice and the fastest-moving: agent tooling applied to delivery and operations, self-hosted agents where data cannot leave the estate, and honest advice about where AI does not belong. Infrastructure and security experience matters here more than prompt-writing — an agent with access to systems is a privileged account, and should be designed like one.
What this covers
- Where AI genuinely saves time in your operation — and where it does not
- Agent orchestration wired into existing systems and data
- Self-hosted agents such as Hermes Agent and OpenClaw on your own infrastructure
- Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot rollout, with practical team training
- Guardrails, least privilege and data boundaries for agent access
- Automation of repetitive delivery and operations work
Delivered
Currently applying AI agent tooling to accelerate enterprise integration and security delivery, reducing manual overhead on repeatable work.
