AI agents, from pilot to production.
A founder-led team that ships agents into your systems and makes your engineers build with them.
Where our team has built software before Frontward.
What we build.
Agents into production, and engineers who build with them.
- Pilot to productionYour agent prototype, hardened, evaluated, and wired into your systems.
- Agent-native engineeringWe embed with your team and set up Claude Code, evals, and MCP.
- Evals and reliabilityTest harnesses and monitoring so agents stay correct after launch.
- AI product leadershipFractional product management to scope, sequence, and land AI.
Start with two weeks. A fixed-price discovery and proof of concept, then a 90-day build or a monthly retainer.
Happy Being: an agent found the gap, the page matched the ad.
Our parity agent scored the page against the Meta ad and proposed the fix inside their Shopify theme. We A/B tested it (p < 0.001).
