Your Own Agentic AI

AI that works for you, not against you.

Agents that do the work. Not chatbots that talk about it.

Bespoke agentic AI — not a chatbot, not a wrapper around someone else's API. A working operational agent that runs real workflows on your infrastructure, built by practitioners who run the same kind of system for their own business every day.

Two tiers. One for established businesses. One for solo operators and small teams. Same practitioner quality.

Agents that do the work. Not chatbots that talk about it.

Off-the-shelf AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, every vendor's "AI assistant" — solve general problems well. They fail when the job is workflow-shaped. A workflow needs the agent to remember the last action, check data against a source of truth, route to the right tool, log what it did, and hand edge cases back without losing context.

A bespoke agentic AI runs the workflow end-to-end. Fewer prompts. Fewer handoffs. The work gets done while you're doing something else. When the system hits something it shouldn't decide on its own, it flags it and waits.

That's what our own internal agent does for us. That's what we build for you.

We run our own ops on an agent

We don't pitch what we haven't shipped. Our internal agent runs Beyond Arc's daily ops — research, triage, drafting, monitoring. The pattern you'd be getting is the same pattern we trust with our own business. Framework-agnostic on our side: we use whichever agent framework fits the job (OpenClaw, NemoClaw, NanoClaw, and others as they mature). That's a delivery choice, not a product pitch.

We're also building this pattern for client zero — a tenant-facing ops system for a real service business. Read the Smart Water case study for the honest version of where that's at.

Two tiers

Sized for where you are. Same engineering quality on either path.

Business Build

A bespoke AI system that runs with your business.

£15,000 — £25,000

Setup

Retainer from £400/mo

Who it's for: Established businesses wanting a production AI agent woven into real operational workflows — email triage, research, client communications, data handoffs, reporting, scheduling.

Includes

  • Discovery + system design (not a chatbot — a working operational agent)
  • Custom skill set scoped to your workflows
  • MCP-based tool integrations — email, calendar, CRM, documents, whatever matters
  • Observability layer built in (heartbeat monitoring, activity log, human override)
  • Deployment, handover, and documented maintenance
  • 12-month retainer for iteration, new skills, and evolution

Example use cases

  • Sales-ops agent that researches prospects and drafts personalised outreach
  • Programme management agent for coordinating multi-party projects
  • Founder's second brain — triages inbox, manages calendar, drafts replies
  • Compliance agent that validates outputs against a policy library

Solo Build

Your own agentic AI, sized for solo operators and small teams.

£500 — £2,000

Setup

From £49/mo

Who it's for: Solo operators, consultants, and small teams (1–5 people) who want a working AI agent without enterprise scaffolding. Smaller scope, faster build, same practitioner quality.

Includes

  • Templated discovery — a tight structured call, not a month of workshops
  • Pre-built skill starter kit (drafting, research, scheduling, inbox triage)
  • Your choice of integrations from the Beyond Arc library
  • Deployment on your infrastructure or on a managed Beyond Arc runtime
  • Handover + a 30-day iteration window
  • Optional ongoing retainer for new skills and support

Example use cases

  • Consultant's research + drafting assistant
  • Freelancer's inbox + diary + quote triage
  • Small-team knowledge base assistant
  • Solo founder's operational second brain

Pricing bands are indicative for the typical project shape. Final quote depends on scope, integrations, and retainer structure — discussed on our first call before any commitment.

How it works

01

Discovery

Real conversation about how your days actually run. Not a questionnaire.

02

Design

Skills, tools, data flow. Build spec signed off before we write code.

03

Build

We build it in the open. You see progress weekly. No six-week silence.

04

Deploy

Goes live on your infrastructure or on Beyond Arc's managed runtime.

05

Handover

Documented system. You own it. Evolution via retainer or done.

FAQ

How is this different from ChatGPT or an off-the-shelf tool?

We build an agent that runs your specific workflow end-to-end. Off-the-shelf tools need you to prompt them and move the output. A bespoke agentic AI runs the process — pulls data, makes decisions, takes actions, logs what it did, hands the edge cases back to you.

Is the £15–25k quote wide on purpose?

Yes. Scope varies more than most consultancies want to admit. A three-skill agent with two integrations is not the same job as a ten-skill system with a compliance layer. We quote at the low end unless the scope demands more, and we tell you the driver of the delta explicitly.

Can Solo Build scale up to Business later?

Yes. Same architecture. Solo Build uses a tighter skill set and smaller integration surface; scaling up is additional skills + additional integrations, not a rebuild.

Do you take equity or subscription-only deals?

No. Flat-fee setup + optional retainer. We keep the commercial model simple so you can own the system outright.

What's the retainer for?

New skills, integration changes, model upgrades, observability tuning, and ongoing reliability. Think of it as having a practitioner on call — not a support desk.

What framework does it run on?

Whichever fits the job. We use OpenClaw, NemoClaw, NanoClaw, and a handful of others depending on the workflow, integration surface, and where the agent needs to run. Framework is a delivery choice we make with you during scoping, not a product we pre-sell.
