We are building AI labs. We create good confusion.

Diogo runs this site with twelve AI agents. They research, write, audit and publish; he decides. When your project needs more than that, he may bring along a couple of human fellows from a network of people he trusts, to help you on your venture. They have opinions, they travel, and they are very good at lunch.

Diogo is sure of one thing: any conversation, short or long, will shake your organisation a little and make you think towards a different future. That is the point.

We call it good confusion: the week a team sees the old way of working stop making sense, and the new one is not obvious yet. We get companies through it with a system that runs, not a slide deck.

Let us work for you.

(Or with you. Mostly with you.)

Start here

Open conversation

Tell us what you are chewing on. We say what we think, and what we do not know. No slides, no pitch.

  • A proper conversation with your leadership team about the questions you are chewing on
  • A frank view of where agents help and where they do not
  • A next step, written down in five lines
Come with the question, not the answer. Length and terms agreed together beforehand.

Learn

Training

Your team learns to run agent systems, not just to buy them, on the machine that publishes this site.

  • Introduction. Half a day, up to 20 people: what an agent system actually is
  • Full day. Up to 12 people, and your team ends the day with an agent of its own running
  • Programme. 4 to 6 sessions over a few weeks, for teams that will build this and not only buy it, and your team leaves able to run it without us
Not for anyone looking for an introduction to ChatGPT.

Experiment

Sprint

Your problem, our workbench. A few days in which your people and ours build an agent on one real case.

  • One real problem from your operation
  • A mixed group: some of yours, some of ours
  • A working prototype, with the run log that shows what it did and what it cost
  • An honest verdict: worth it, or not yet
Scoped together, usually a few days.

Consultancy

We find where agents earn their cost, build one that runs, and keep it tuned while the models change underneath.

  • X-ray. An honest diagnostic of where agents help and where they do not (2 to 3 weeks)
  • A working team. An agent system of your own, delivered in production, with rules, audit and cost tracking built in (6 weeks)
  • Engine room. Monthly support, no minimum term
The X-ray is credited against the next proposal if you go ahead within 30 days.

Nothing on this page asks you to believe us. Everything below is published on this site and can be checked now.

Not sure which door? Perfect.

That is exactly what the first one is for. Tell us what you are working on and we reply personally, usually the same day. If we are not the right people for the problem, we will say so — it is cheaper for both of us.
