What changes when it is education & edtech

Most agent projects stall at the demo. Ours ship because we start from the failure modes, what the agent must never do, who approves what, and how every action gets traced, and build the capability around those constraints.

In education & edtech, student data protection and academic integrity constrain what may be automated at all. That single fact reshapes how ai agent development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is content adaptation by level, usually integrated against LMS. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Will this help students cheat?

Design decides that. We build assistance that shows working and prompts reasoning rather than producing submittable answers, and we set that boundary with your academic leadership.

Is student data protected?

Yes, minimisation, retention limits and access control, with particular care where minors are involved.

How is an AI agent different from a chatbot?

A chatbot answers. An agent acts. It plans a sequence of steps, calls real tools and APIs, and changes state in your systems. That difference is why agents need guardrails, approvals and tracing that a chatbot never does.

How long does an agent take to build?

A scoped single-workflow agent typically reaches production in six weeks. Multi-agent systems spanning several departments run longer, and we stage them so the first workflow is live while the rest is still being built.

Can it run on our own infrastructure?

Yes. We deploy on your cloud, in your VPC, or fully on-premise with open-weight models where data residency or regulation requires it.
