Production-first agent operations

Agent workflow automation consulting that survives production.

We design, implement, and run AI workflow automation with approvals, access boundaries, observability, and recovery runbooks.

Operating loop Assess -> Build -> Run

Default path: assessment -> one scoped build -> weekly operations.

Best fit: one high-value workflow, real users, and recurring reliability issues.

What we actually do

We run execution, not just advisory. Every engagement ships technical work with clear owners, practical constraints, and acceptance criteria.

Assess

Paid architecture and risk review with a concrete 30-day execution plan.

Build

Quickstart, buildcamp, or sprint to ship the workflow and harden the edges.

Run

Weekly operator cadence for reliability, incidents, and continuous delivery.

New vertical: Agent Concierge Operations

Built for luxury concierge and destination teams that need governed automation, provider orchestration, and reliable execution under real client pressure.

Control is part of the product

Production agents fail without access boundaries, approvals, and clear recovery paths. We design those in from day one.

Bounded actions

Tool permissions, scoped execution, and explicit approval points for sensitive steps.

Observable behavior

Health checks, logs, and verification steps that make failures diagnosable under pressure.

Recoverable operations

Runbooks and restart sequences that keep the system operable when it inevitably breaks.

What that means in practice

Clear outcomes teams can actually use, not abstract capability labels.

First loop

From “it works” to production operations

We ship one workflow with acceptance criteria, verification steps, and a runbook that survives restarts.

Stabilize

From recurring incidents to stable operations

We harden integrations, queues, and automations so failures stop repeating every week.

Control path

From tool sprawl to one operator surface

One place for approvals + one lane for execution, so humans can safely supervise automation.

Scale

From founder-driven firefighting to repeatable cadence

We implement weekly execution rhythm so delivery quality stays consistent as scope grows.

Offer ladder

Start with a paid assessment, verify execution quickly, then scale only when the outcomes are clear.

Choose your start

No secure baseline yet

Start with OpenClaw Quickstart to establish a private control path and one integration.

It works, but it breaks

Start with Hardening Sprint to add approvals, observability, and a recovery path.

You need production delivery

Start with Production Sprint when the workflow and constraints are already validated.

You need ongoing ops

Start with Operator Retainer for weekly execution cadence and incident handling.

Paid Assessment

$500 / 60 min

Architecture review + reliability diagnosis + decision-ready plan for the next 30 days.

OpenClaw Quickstart (secure baseline)

$2,500 / 5-7 days

5-7 days to ship a bounded operator baseline: secure access boundary, control channel, one integration, verification checklist, and handoff notes.

Workflow Buildcamp

$6,000 / 3 days

3 days to ship one workflow end-to-end with real inputs/outputs, verification steps, and a hardening backlog.

Hardening Sprint

$12,000 / 2 weeks

2 weeks to harden one workflow: approvals, observability, safer execution boundaries, and a recovery path.

Production Sprint

$25,000 / 4 weeks

4 weeks to take one workflow to production: approvals, reliability hardening, observability, and runbooks.

Operator Retainer

$3,500/mo

Weekly execution cadence and incident ownership. 3-month minimum. Not an open-ended hourly bucket.

Technical Headhunting (optional)

retained or success fee

When the system is stable, we can run targeted hiring for permanent operators.

Workflow registry

Reusable packages and patterns we deploy repeatedly. This is how we move fast without hand-waving.

OpenClaw: secure baseline

Gateway + Telegram control plane + private access boundary + verification checklist.

Gmail events: Pub/Sub intake

Inbox event delivery that survives IAM drift and watcher lifecycle issues.

Browser control: managed mode

Deterministic automation surface with a recovery path when browsers stall.

Voice + notes on Telegram

Mobile-first capture and summaries with tight cost and response policy.

Operator runbooks

Incident triage and restart sequences that turn outages into repeatable recovery.

Workflow Buildcamp

Bring your data and constraints. We ship a working workflow + hardening backlog in days.

Agent Concierge Operations

Persistent client memory + provider orchestration + human approvals for white-glove service teams.

Want the full registry?

We keep a living catalog of packages and operating patterns and can map them to your workflows.

Field proof

Recent failure modes, concrete interventions, and the outcomes teams paid us for.

Inbox automation became reliable

Problem: email events were intermittently missing or delayed.

Fix: stabilized the Pub/Sub -> webhook chain and removed configuration drift that broke delivery after restarts.

Verified by: sending test messages and confirming end-to-end delivery with repeatable checks.

Outcome: inbox events delivered consistently for one workflow, with a recovery path when delivery stalls.

Browser actions became deterministic

Problem: tabs were visible, but interactive control failed during real tasks.

Fix: moved the workflow to a managed control mode and corrected routing so automation could attach reliably.

Verified by: running repeat click/type sequences on the same tab and confirming consistent success.

Outcome: predictable automation for one operator path, instead of “works in demo, fails in production.”

Response loop stopped stalling

Problem: the bot would stall or miss replies after restarts and configuration changes.

Fix: standardized restart and recovery procedures with concrete checks, so incidents stopped turning into guesswork.

Verified by: controlled restarts and a short health checklist before resuming operator work.

Outcome: faster recovery and fewer repeated outages for a single deployed workflow.

What we ship (artifacts)

We don’t call work “done” unless it can be verified with a checklist, logs, and a recovery path in your environment.

Acceptance criteria

Clear definition of done for one workflow, tied to real inputs and outputs.

Approval + access boundary

Least-privilege tool actions with explicit approval points for sensitive steps.

Verify checklist

Repeatable checks that prove the workflow is healthy after deploys and restarts.

Runbook + recovery

Restart/rollback sequence and failure signatures that turn incidents into repeatable recovery.

Observability baseline

Logs, health checks, and basic alert signals for the workflow path.

Operator handoff

Owner map and operating cadence so delivery doesn’t collapse after week one.

FAQ

Short answers to the objections that usually stall execution.

What counts as “one workflow”?

One end-to-end outcome a real user depends on (trigger -> tools -> data -> message), with a verify checklist and a recovery path.

Do you only work with OpenClaw?

No. OpenClaw is a common baseline. We ship workflows with whatever your stack needs (LLMs, queues, webhooks, CRMs, internal tools).

Can you work inside our stack?

Yes. We ask for the minimum access required, keep actions least-privilege, and document what we changed so you can operate it after handoff.

What do you do with API keys and credentials?

We avoid copying secrets into chat. We prefer env/secret manager paths and verify access boundaries before enabling any automations.

Do you do 24/7 on-call?

No. We run weekly operator cadence and incident recovery paths. If you need round-the-clock coverage, we scope it separately.

What if we’re not ready for a retainer?

That’s normal. Start with assessment, then pick a quickstart package or a bounded sprint. Retainer is the upgrade when you need ongoing ownership.

How does payment + scheduling work?

Stripe invoice first. After payment, you get a scheduling link and a short pre-read form so we can execute in the first session.
