Delivery model · AI Pods

AI Pods: pay for outcomes, not effort.

An AI Pod brings autonomous AI agents together with experienced engineers and domain experts in one governed delivery team. The agents handle the repeatable work. The people set direction, make the judgment calls and stand behind the quality. You pay for clearly defined deliverables, not hours of effort, and get them faster without adding headcount.

  • Agents + experts
  • Outcome-based pricing
  • Transparent usage & cost

How AI Pods work

Three layers, one accountable team

Every AI Pod is built from the same three layers, working together.

  1. L1

    AI agent workflows

    LLM-powered agents produce code, tests, designs, analysis and documentation. They can handle messy, unstructured and changing work, not just fixed rules.

  2. L2

    Human oversight

    Pod leads and specialists keep the work tied to your goals, direct the agents, enforce quality and compliance, and handle the edge cases agents shouldn’t.

  3. L3

    Platform & governance

    Secure, multi-cloud infrastructure with enterprise integrations, access controls, audit trails and real-time cost visibility.

  • Pricing tied to shorter delivery timelines
  • Quality targets like defect reduction and test coverage
