# Agentic AI Development > Custom AI agents and multi-agent systems that automate real workflows, with permissions, audit logs, evaluation and human approval, from a founder-led team. Source: https://authect.com/services/agentic-ai AI agents that plan and carry out multi-step work across your tools, with clear permissions, full logs and a person approving what matters, built by a founder-led team. ## What you get with Authect's agentic AI development An AI agent doesn't just answer a question: it **works towards a goal**, deciding which steps to take, which tools to use and when it's done. That makes agents powerful for the multi-step tasks that eat up your team's time, and it means they need more care than a chatbot. We build agents the way we'd build any system that acts on your behalf. The founders map the workflow with you, a senior engineer leads the build, and every agent gets **narrow permissions, a full log of its actions, tests on real cases and a human approval step** wherever a mistake would be costly. We start small, with one workflow and a clear measure of success, then extend once the agent has earned your trust. The code, prompts and tool connections are **yours from day one**. ## Types of AI agents we can develop for you Different problems call for different kinds of agent. Many real systems combine several of them, with simple, predictable parts wherever possible. - **Learning agents**: Agents that improve from feedback: corrections from your team and the outcomes of past tasks shape how they handle the next one, with every change tested before it goes live. - **Utility-based agents**: Agents that weigh options against costs, risks and priorities to choose the best action, useful for scheduling, resource allocation and pricing decisions. - **Goal-based agents**: Agents given an objective, such as preparing a report or resolving a ticket, that plan the steps, use your tools and check their own work along the way. - **Model-based agents**: Agents that keep an up-to-date picture of a changing environment, such as stock levels or equipment status, and respond to what they observe. - **Simple reflex agents**: Fast, rule-driven agents that react instantly to specific signals, such as an alert or threshold, ideal for monitoring where predictability matters most. - **Multi-agent systems**: Several specialised agents coordinated by an orchestrator, each doing one job well, for processes too broad for a single agent to handle reliably. Not sure which kind of agent fits your workflow? The founders can help you decide. ## Benefits of implementing AI agents 1. **Multi-step work done faster**: Agents gather information from several systems, fill in forms, draft responses and update records in one flow, so tasks that took hours of clicking take minutes of review. 2. **Better, more consistent service**: Every request is handled the same careful way, following your policies, with complex or sensitive cases routed to the right person straight away. 3. **Work that continues around the clock**: Agents keep processing requests overnight and across time zones, so customers in every market get a timely response and your team starts the day with a clear queue. 4. **Capacity that scales with demand**: When volumes spike, agents take on the extra load, so you can grow without your service levels slipping or costs rising in step. 5. **Insight from every task**: Because agents log what they do and why, you get a detailed view of where requests come from, where processes stall and what to improve next. ## Industry applications of agentic AI ### Healthcare Monitoring device data and records for anomalies to flag to clinicians, coordinating schedules and resources, tracking medication stock and predicting supply needs, and lab workflow coordination, always with medical staff making the clinical decisions.

[Energy software](https://authect.com/industries/energy) ## An example of a multi-agent AI system Here's how a multi-agent system could help a services business answer requests for proposals. It's an illustration of the design, not a client project: **specialised agents do the groundwork, and people check and sign off every proposal**. ### Intake and privacy filter Requests arrive by email, forms or a web portal. Team profiles and CVs pass through an anonymisation step that removes personal and confidential details before any model sees them. ### Profile structuring agent An agent reads team profiles and extracts skills, experience and availability into a structured internal database, ready for matching. ### Request analysis agent An agent breaks each request into its requirements, finds relevant answers from past proposals, drafts responses and raises tasks for experts wherever information is missing. ### Matching and estimation agents One agent matches requirements with the right people; another estimates effort and cost from past work. Both work only on anonymised data. ### Proposal assembly and review An orchestrator compiles the answers, team and estimate into a draft proposal. Experts review, correct and approve it before anything is sent. ## How we deliver agentic AI systems Agents act on your behalf, so **trust is built in steps**: first they suggest, then they act with approval, and only then, where it's safe, on their own. 1. **Discovery and assessment**: In workshops with the founders, we map the workflow, the systems and data involved, the decisions along the way and the points where a person must stay in control. 2. **Solution architecture**: We design the agents, their tools and permissions, the orchestration between them, the logging and the approval steps, and share a plan with costs and milestones. 3. **Development and testing**: We build the agents and test them on real past cases, including the awkward ones, measuring accuracy, cost and how often they need help. 4. **Integration and rollout**: Agents connect to your systems with the narrowest access they need and start in suggestion mode, with your team approving each action before it happens. 5. **Monitoring and expansion**: We monitor every run, review failures, tune prompts and tools, and widen the agent's autonomy only where the results show it's safe. ## Agentic AI FAQs ### What is the agentic approach in AI? It's a way of building AI systems that pursue a goal rather than respond to a single prompt. The system observes its situation, plans steps, uses tools such as search, databases or business applications, checks the result and decides what to do next. ### What is an example of agentic AI? An agent that handles a customer's request to change a booking: it reads the message, checks availability, applies your policy, updates the booking system, drafts a confirmation and asks a person to approve anything outside the rules. ### What is the difference between generative AI and agentic AI? Generative AI produces content, such as text or images, when asked. Agentic AI uses generative models as part of a larger loop: it plans, takes actions in other systems and works through several steps towards a goal. ### How do you keep AI agents under control? Each agent gets only the permissions it needs, every action is logged, high-impact actions need human approval, and agents are tested on real cases before launch and monitored afterwards. Autonomy grows step by step, based on results. ### Where should we start with AI agents? With one well-understood, repetitive workflow that spans a few systems and has a clear measure of success. We'll help you pick it in discovery, build a first version that suggests actions, then extend from there. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
