What We Build

Production AI, not slideware

Six capabilities, one senior team. We ship the agent, the integrations, and the evals — and hand you the code.

Custom Agents

Purpose-built agents for your category — returns triage, subscription saves, VIP concierge, ops copilots. Trained on your policy, your catalog, your tone.

Voice Engines

Sub-second voice agents with barge-in, brand-specific personas, custom wake words, and live transfer logic — deployed on inbound and outbound calls.

Model Fine-Tuning

Distill your CX transcripts, SOPs, macros, and product copy into custom models that respond in your voice, with your policy guardrails baked in.

Integration Engineering

Shopify, NetSuite, Recharge, Zendesk, Klaviyo, Loop, Gorgias, Aftership, custom ERPs — we build the connectors so agents can read and write across your stack.

Browser & Computer-Use

Agents that operate legacy admin panels, supplier portals, and 3PL dashboards through the browser — closing the long tail of work no API can reach.

Catalog & RAG Systems

Grounded retrieval over product specs, sizing, ingredients, compatibility, and policy docs — so agents answer with citation-backed accuracy, not vibes.

Why DTC Brands Pick Us

An AI team that already ships at brand speed

We are not a consulting firm running PowerPoint. We are the engineers behind StateSet — and we bring the same stack, evals, and rollout playbook to your build.

Built by the team running iCommerce

We do not write whitepapers. We run autonomous CX, ops, and voice at scale every day — and bring the same engineering team to your build.

Frontier models, framework-agnostic

Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-weights, fine-tuned, distilled. We pick what fits the job and the latency budget — not what we resold last quarter.

Policy-grounded by default

Every action is checked against your policy and audit-logged before it touches Shopify, NetSuite, or your helpdesk. No probabilistic refunds.

Evals are first-class

Every agent we ship comes with an eval suite. You see precision, recall, escalation rate, and policy adherence — measured continuously, not at QA review.

Ships in weeks, not quarters

A Discovery Sprint runs in 2 weeks. Most production agents go live in 6–10 weeks. We move at brand speed, not enterprise consulting speed.

You own the IP

Code, prompts, fine-tunes, datasets — yours. We deliver a system you can run on your own infrastructure if you ever want to bring it fully in-house.

What We Build For DTC

Custom systems, not chatbots

We build the agents, integrations, and AI workflows that move real revenue and margin for DTC brands — not demo-quality novelties.

How we scope

We start from a P&L line item. Returns rate. Subscription churn. WISMO volume. Voice abandon rate. Catalog ops cost. We pick the workflow with the highest dollar impact and the cleanest path to production — and ship that first.

Examples from our roadmap

  • Returns and exchange triage agents trained on your policy
  • Subscription save flows with personalized retention offers
  • Voice ordering and reorder lines for repeat customers
  • Sizing, fit, and compatibility recommenders for product pages
  • VIP concierge agents tied to LTV and loyalty tiers
  • Operations copilots for CX, ops, and merchandising teams
  • Supplier and 3PL portal automations via computer use
  • Custom ChatGPT-style internal assistants over your data
Engagements

Three ways to work with us

Most brands start with a Discovery Sprint, ship one Custom Build, and graduate into a Retainer once the roadmap is bigger than a single agent.

2 weeks

Discovery Sprint

Two weeks with our team to scope, prototype, and de-risk one custom agent or AI workflow on your real data and stack.

How We Work

Discover. Build. Launch. Operate.

Every engagement runs on the same playbook — the same one we use internally to ship the StateSet platform every week.

01

Discovery

We map your stack, ops, and the highest-leverage workflows to automate. Output: a sized roadmap and a prototype on your data.

02

Build

A dedicated pod ships the agent: integrations, policy, prompts, fine-tunes, evals, audit trail. Weekly demos against your real workload.

03

Launch

We co-launch with your team — shadow mode, sampled live mode, full live mode. Rollback is one switch. No big-bang cutovers.

04

Operate

Monthly reviews, eval drift monitoring, and an ongoing pod on retainer if you want us to keep shipping new agents on the same stack.

Agency vs StateSet

Most AI 'agencies' have not shipped production AI.

Generalist agencies are still learning. We have the production StateSet iCommerce Engine behind us—and bring that team to your build.
