Crucible

An engine for deploying specialized, enterprise-grade AI agents.

Crucible automates agent creation and deployment. It does this with an opinionated, self-learning approach drawn from the agents we’ve built and deployed. It’s designed to handle all the difficult details and nuances of agent building.

Crucible checks what it can and can’t do, fixes what it can, and delivers an agent that’s hosted, connected and actually works.

The model is the
easy part.

A capable model can read, write and reason. Getting it to do a real job inside a real business is a thousand small decisions: who it answers to, what it can touch, how it speaks in each channel, how you know it’s right, and the last mile into your systems. That’s where most agents fail, and it’s what Crucible was built for.

Tried and tested, then adapted to your business.

Crucible draws on a library of capabilities and agent templates proven in real work. Each one is adapted to your playbooks, your systems and your standards.

No false promises.

Before an agent ships, Crucible tests it against the real job: benchmarks, test cases and the edge cases your team named. It fixes the gaps it can. The ones it can’t are written down, along with what happens instead.

You know what you’re getting before it goes live.

It gets better at the job.

Every agent ships with an evaluator. It scores each piece of work, takes your team’s feedback, and changes the agent directly: its instructions, its checks, its tools. You see what changed and why.

Built to run, not to demo.

  • Permissions scoped to the job
  • Secrets the model never sees
  • Allowlisted tools and sites
  • Approval for high-risk actions
  • A full audit log
  • Outside content treated as data
  • Spend and rate limits

  • Any model, any provider
