The Problem

Why teams come to us for ai agent engineering

Move beyond simple chatbots to autonomous digital workers. Sloctech designs AI agents equipped with tool-use capabilities—capable of autonomously researching information, generating reports, updating databases, sending emails, and executing complex business workflows without human intervention.

What We Build

Included in every AI Agent Engineering engagement

Tool Use & Function Calling

Agents execute database queries, API calls, and web searches.

Memory & State Retention

Short-term and long-term memory structures for continuous tasks.

Multi-Agent Teams

Collaborative agents reviewing, auditing, and refining work outputs.

Human-in-the-Loop Approval

Configurable approval checkpoints before critical actions are executed.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • Autonomous Multi-Step Execution of Complex Administrative Tasks
  • Unattended background data research and report generation on a schedule
  • Integration with External APIs, Databases & Cloud Tools
  • Significant Efficiency Boost for Operations Teams

Scope, Cost & Ownership

What drives the number on your quote

Cost factors

  • Number of distinct user roles and the permission rules between them
  • Third-party systems to integrate, and how well documented their APIs are
  • Whether existing data has to be migrated, and what condition it is in
  • Depth of custom design versus adapting an established design system
  • Compliance or audit requirements that change how we build and test

We quote after a scoping call, itemised by module, so you can see what each part costs and drop anything you do not need.

Typical timeline

Timelines follow scope, so we give you one at the end of discovery rather than before it. What we can commit to up front is the shape of the schedule:

  • Discovery and a written scope before any build work starts
  • Working software demonstrated on a fixed sprint cadence, not just at the end
  • A dated delivery plan you approve before we commit to it

What you own

  • Full copyright in the source code we write for you, assigned on final payment
  • The repository, its history, and the deployment configuration
  • Database schemas, migrations and technical documentation
  • Accounts and infrastructure registered in your name, not ours

Third-party libraries keep their own open-source licences, and any commercial component is listed in the quote before you sign.

FAQs

AI Agent Engineering questions we get asked

What is the difference between an AI Chatbot and an AI Agent?

A chatbot replies to text messages; an AI agent can proactively perform actions, use software tools, query databases, and complete multi-step tasks autonomously.

Can we require human approval before an agent sends an email or payment?

Yes! We configure Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) checkpoints for any sensitive action.
