Agent Test Drive
Try one job, live in your Microsoft Teams.
One digital AI co-worker takes on one job in your Microsoft Teams for a set period. Your people work with it on real tasks. Then you decide what happens next.
- One job
- One digital AI co-worker
- A set period
- Fixed size
- Fixed price, agreed up front
What you get
-
A written job description
What your agent does, which systems it uses and which decisions stay with a person.
-
Its approval rules
Which actions wait for a person, and who approves each one.
-
Your agent, live in Microsoft Teams
Your people hand it real tasks, follow its progress and make decisions.
-
A closing review
What it did, where your people stepped in and what could come next.
Then you decide
- Keep it running with us: It stays at work. We run it every day and report what it did.
- Grow it: More of its job, or a second job.
- Stop: We switch it off.
Two ways we work
Build it with us, or let us run it.
We recommend letting us run it: people who built your agents know them best. Either way, your agents run in your cloud and your people approve sensitive actions.
-
Inside your team
Our engineers work with yours, in your environment. We build your agents together, and your team runs them after handover.

How an engagement typically runs
From job to running agent.
Each engagement agrees its own scope and pace up front. Its phases usually look like this.
-
Define a job and its approvals
We write down what your agent does, which systems it uses, which actions wait for a person and how we’ll know it works.
-
Build with approvals in place
We give your agent its own identity, connect just those systems its job needs and set its approval rules before it touches real work.
-
Run on real work
Once it passes agreed checks, it goes live in Microsoft Teams, where your people hand it real tasks and approve its sensitive steps.
-
Keep running or hand over
We keep it running for you, or your team takes it over with a runbook and a handover session.
Adoption
People named before go-live.
Each engagement answers three questions with you, so your people know how to work with their agent.
-
Who uses it
Which people hand it work and read its updates in Microsoft Teams, and how they learn to work with it.
-
Who approves
Who signs off each kind of sensitive action, and who covers when they’re away.
-
Who looks after it
Who watches its work, handles exceptions and reviews changes after handover.
What you get
Written down, tested, walked through.
With each agent we build, inside your team or run by us.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How do we start?
With one job. Tell us about it, and we’ll suggest where to begin: an Agent Test Drive, one capability, a focused solution or a complete digital AI co-worker. Scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria and price are agreed before any work begins.
What does an Agent Test Drive include?
One job and one digital AI co-worker, live in your Microsoft Teams for a set period. You get a written job description, its approval rules, your agent at work with your people on real tasks and a closing review of what it did and what could come next. Its size and price are fixed and agreed up front.
What happens after a Test Drive?
You decide. Keep it running with us, grow it into more of its job or a second job, or stop. Keeping or growing it becomes a regular engagement, with its scope and price agreed up front.
Do agents run in our environment?
Yes. Your agents run in your cloud, where your data lives, and your people reach them in Microsoft Teams. Our engineers work inside your environment.
Who approves what agents do?
Your people. Each agent can use just those systems and actions approved for its job. Sensitive actions wait for a person to approve that exact request, you can stop any agent at any time, and everything it does is on record.
Who looks after an agent after go-live?
We do, if you choose, and we recommend it: people who built your agent know it best. We watch its work, fix issues and add skills as your needs grow. Or your people take it over with a runbook and a handover session.
Can we start with one capability instead?
Yes. Each capability is available on its own, from agent security to evals and memory. Bring a specific need, and we’ll agree its scope with you.
How is pricing set?
Every engagement has a price agreed up front, based on its scope: your agent’s job, systems and data involved, evidence needed for acceptance and any ongoing operation. An Agent Test Drive has a fixed size and a fixed price.
