Choose a workflow with a clear business goal. First, we review the process, available data, system access and potential risks.
The discovery discussion helps define the initial scope and success measures.
Build an agent for a specific responsibility, such as preparing a service response or processing a request. The agent uses approved tools and follows the rules defined for its task.
Connect the steps in a business process. For example, an agent can gather information, prepare an action and route an exception to a person.
If the process follows fixed rules, traditional workflow automation may be a better fit.
Some workflows benefit from agents with separate responsibilities. One agent might gather information, while another checks a proposed action.
However, additional agents add complexity. We assess whether a single agent can handle the work more simply.
Connect agents to CRM, ERP, service platforms and other business applications. We define the available actions around the system interfaces and permissions you approve.

Test whether an agent completes tasks and follows its rules. Evaluation can cover tool selection, action inputs, task outcomes and human handoffs.
Plan how the solution will run in its operating environment. We discuss deployment, handover and support requirements as part of the engagement.

Agents fit work with changing inputs, several steps and access to business tools. These three teams are common starting points.
Support teams may need to check several systems before responding.
An agent can retrieve approved customer and order information. It can then prepare a response or create a service ticket. Meanwhile, a support specialist handles uncertain or sensitive requests.
Possible measures: Request routing time, task completion and handoff quality.
Sales teams spend time qualifying enquiries and updating records.
An agent can gather account context, update approved CRM fields and route an opportunity. However, a salesperson still reviews decisions that require judgment or authorization.
Possible measures: Response time, routing accuracy and record completeness.
Service teams handle repeated requests and gather context from several sources.
An agent can collect request details, retrieve approved guidance and create or update a ticket. If a request is unclear or outside its permissions, the agent escalates it.
Possible measures: Triage time, routing accuracy and escalation quality.
These projects show how SDLC Corp connects AI capabilities with business systems and human review.
A voice agent needs current information to help callers. It may also need to create a service request when an issue remains unresolved.
SDLC Corp built REST API connectors that link Pulastya AI with CRM, ERP and ServiceNow. During a call, the agent can verify a caller, retrieve live order information and open a prioritized IT ticket.
Project scope: One voice agent, three business systems (CRM, ERP and ServiceNow) and two service workflows for customers and employees.

Freight teams must match invoices with shipment and vendor records. They also need to check charges before updating the transport system.
SDLC Corp built an AI-powered workflow for Transworld. The system reads freight documents, compares their details with operational data and routes uncertain cases for review. After the required approval, it posts shipment cost lines to Oracle Transportation Management.
Project scope: Freight document reading, matching against shipment and vendor records, human review and posting to Oracle Transportation Management.

A service business spent staff time answering calls and directing callers to the right team.
SDLC Corp deployed Pulastya AI on the client’s existing Twilio numbers. The voice agent classifies calls by intent and answers supported questions using approved documents. It routes other requests to the appropriate team with a transcript and summary.
Project scope: Live on the client’s existing Twilio numbers with no number change, using approved knowledge sources, rule-based routing and human handoff.

An agent needs a goal, relevant information and limits on its actions. A typical workflow follows these steps:
01Request → 02Approved context → 03Agent decision → 04Authorized action → 05Human review when needed → 06Recorded outcome
A customer, employee or business event starts the workflow. For example, a customer may ask about an order.
The agent obtains the information needed for the task. It might retrieve an order status through an approved interface.
The agent checks the request and selects an available tool. If it cannot proceed within the workflow’s rules, it escalates.
The agent calls an approved tool or application interface. Depending on its permissions, it may retrieve information, create a ticket or prepare an update.
Some actions require a person’s approval. The reviewer can approve, modify or reject the proposed action.
The agent saves the action and its result to the record. Then it closes the task or passes it on with a short summary.
An agent can use supported interfaces to interact with:
The integration design depends on your systems, data access and security requirements.
Each project starts with a business problem and a way to measure success. The team then designs and tests the solution around that work.
We review the process, intended outcome, data, systems and risks. Together, we identify a use case and discuss its initial scope.
We define the workflow, agent responsibilities, integrations and review points. We also identify scenarios for testing.
We develop the agreed workflow and connect the required systems. Your team can review progress and provide feedback during development.
We run the agent against a test set built from real cases, including edge cases and prompt injection attempts. Then we score task completion, tool choice and handoffs against the criteria set in discovery.
Once approved, we prepare the solution for its operating environment. The project plan also covers handover and operational requirements.
After launch, the team reviews agreed performance measures and issues. Ongoing support and improvement work depend on the engagement scope.
An agent’s controls should match the data it reads and the actions it can take. We set these controls during solution design, before any agent goes live.
Each agent runs under its own service account with a fixed tool allowlist. For example, an order-status agent can read orders but cannot issue refunds. This limits the excessive agency risk listed in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.
Emails, tickets and documents can hide instructions aimed at the agent. So we keep retrieved content apart from system instructions and check every tool input against a schema. As a result, an action outside the allowlist never runs.
Payments, record deletions and other high-risk actions pause until a person approves them. Your process owners agree these thresholds with us before the build starts.
We trace each tool call, input and result with OpenTelemetry and store it with a timestamp. Therefore, your team can replay any decision during an incident or an audit. This supports the Measure and Manage functions of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
Tools time out, and requests arrive with missing data. In those cases, the agent stops, saves its state and hands the case to a person with a summary instead of guessing.
For agents that answer from approved documents, explore our RAG development services.
We choose agent frameworks, models and data stores for each workflow. Then we connect the agent to your systems through APIs or MCP servers. Your data rules, latency targets and budget decide the final stack.
An AI agent helps only when it works inside your existing systems and within clear limits. That is why our engineers plan integrations, access rules, human review and testing together from the start.
Talk to Our Agent EngineersOur published projects connect AI to CRM, ERP and ServiceNow, as well as Oracle Transportation Management for Transworld.
We help teams assess the use case, design the workflow and plan its path to production.
Many agents also need document retrieval, system integration or a fine-tuned model. Our RAG, integration and LLM engineers work on the same project, so you do not coordinate several vendors.

Request a Free ConsultationAgentic AI development services cover the design, build and running of AI agents. These agents plan steps, call business tools and finish tasks under set rules. For example, a service agent can read an order, open a ticket and pass unclear cases to a person. Most projects also include integration, evaluation, human-in-the-loop approval and monitoring.
A chatbot answers a message. An AI agent works toward a goal: it picks the next step, calls an approved tool such as a CRM API, checks the result and continues until the task is done or needs a person. As a result, an agent needs permissions, testing and logging that a chatbot does not.
Use an agent when inputs vary and each case needs judgment, such as reading free-text emails or choosing which system to query. However, if the steps are fixed and the data is structured, rule-based automation is cheaper and easier to audit. Many projects combine both, with rules for the fixed path and an agent for exceptions.
Yes, if the system offers an API or another supported interface. The agent connects through REST APIs, vendor SDKs or MCP servers, using a service account with only the permissions it needs. For example, a voice agent can read live order data from an ERP and open a ServiceNow ticket during a call.
Each agent gets a tool allowlist and a service account with only the access its task needs, so it can read an order without changing it. Actions above a set risk level, such as payments or record changes, pause for human approval. In addition, every tool call is logged, so your team can trace any decision.
Evaluation uses a test set built from real cases, including edge cases and prompt injection attempts. It scores task completion, tool choice, the inputs passed to each tool and correct handoffs. Then the agent goes live only after it meets the thresholds agreed during discovery.
A proof of concept typically costs $15,000 to $50,000. A single-purpose agent usually falls between $30,000 and $120,000, while multi-step agents start around $80,000. Enterprise platforms with several integrations can pass $300,000. In addition, model usage, hosting and support add recurring costs.
A proof of concept usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. In contrast, an enterprise platform with several integrations often runs 6 to 18 months. Single agents sit between the two, and system access and test coverage drive most of the difference.
Ownership terms depend on the agreement for your engagement. Discuss code, prompts, configuration and other assets during project scoping.
Post-launch support is set in the engagement scope. It usually covers monitoring agent traces, updating prompts and tools when your systems change, fixing issues and handing over to your team.
