Forward-deployed AI engineering

We embed with your team to ship real AI agents

From sole traders to national enterprises, we build, deploy, and support agentic systems inside Australian businesses.

How we work

Embed on-site

Our engineers sit inside your operation to learn the real workflow before writing a line of code.

Ship an agent, not a demo

Production systems wired into your tools, with guardrails and monitoring from day one.

Hand it off, stay on call

We train your team to run it, then remain the crew you call when it's time to extend it.

Success stories

New client intake was eating a full day a week — reading inbound emails, drafting replies, and filing documents by hand.

11 hrs/week saved

"They embedded for two weeks and left us an intake agent that reads emails, drafts replies, and files documents. It runs itself now."

Principal, Legal Practice

Dispatch errors kept slipping through at peak volume, and nobody could pin down exactly where the process broke.

38% fewer dispatch errors

"FDE Crew sat with our dispatch team for a month before writing anything. The agent they shipped actually matches how we work."

Ops Director, Logistics

Inventory counts drifted store to store, and two earlier AI vendors never got past a single pilot location.

$2.1M inventory recovered

"We'd tried two other vendors. This was the first team that stayed until the agents were actually running in every store, not just a pilot."

CTO, Retail

FAQ

What's FDE?

FDE stands for Forward-Deployed Engineer — an engineer who embeds directly inside your business rather than working remotely from a vendor's office. It's the model behind FDE Crew: we sit with your team, learn how you actually operate, and build the AI agent from the inside instead of guessing from a brief.

What's the end-to-end process?

We embed on-site to learn your real workflow before writing any code, then build and ship a production AI agent wired into your existing tools, with guardrails and monitoring from day one. Once it's running, we train your team to operate it and stay on call for whatever comes next.

I'm a business owner and we don't know what AI can do for us — can you help?

Yes — that's exactly who we're built for. You don't need a defined AI project to start. We embed with your team first, learn where the real time is going, and figure out together where an agent actually creates leverage before we build anything.
