Agentic AI consulting · Austin

Custom AI applications for companies that have to deploy them.

SRA Group builds custom AI applications for regulated industry, finance, manufacturing, and e-commerce. We start with the result the business needs, develop the model on your data, and ship the software around work people already do. A person stays accountable for the action. The IP stays yours, and governance is what lets you prove what the system did.

Why SRA exists

The application, the model, and the record. One firm.

  • Custom apps. Models, agents, and the software people use. Carried through until it runs in production, on the systems you already have.
  • The value is the work. The model is the small part. The result comes from the workflow, the people who use it, and a record you can show.
  • Cost, on purpose. We build on tools we run ourselves, on the current generation of models. The cost tracks the application.
  • IP, governed. The application and the model artifacts stay yours. Policy sits on the calls, a person can stop an action, and there is a record if someone asks.
Services

What we actually build for a client.

Three kinds of work. Put AI into a job people already do. Rebuild a function around an agent. Or invent the application. Each one is developed, tested, and left in a state you can operate and explain.

01 · Applications

Custom app development

Full applications for a real job in the business. Agents, screens, and the integrations into systems you already run. Scoped to one product and built until your team can operate it.

02 · Models

Custom models

We develop a model for the task and measure it on your data, including the knowledge that already lives in the operation. If another model does the job better, we switch. You can take the result to the business.

03 · Cost

In-house tools

The build sits on tools we already operate, pointed at current models. Less rework, fewer vendors in the path, and a cost that tracks the application instead of a platform tax.

04 · IP

Yours, and governed

Your code, your data, your model artifacts. Policy on the model call, a named person when an agent goes past its authority, and a record. That is how you prove what it did.

Start with a consultation. Bring the application you want in market. We'll come back with the model, the build, the tests, and what has to be governed first.

How it works

From the application to a governed release.

  1. Name the application The result the business needs, who uses it, and what done looks like. Value first, then the build.
  2. Develop the model Fit it to the task. Measure it on your data. Swap it if a better one shows up.
  3. Build it on our tools The app, the agent, and the integrations, on a stack we already run. That is the cost control.
  4. Test it, then govern it Failure cases before a customer sees them. Your IP stays yours. Every call can be shown later.
Industries

Where clients ask us to build.

Regulated industry

Applications that have to hold up in an audit. Policy and evidence are in the first release, because that is the environment the product lives in.

The work

Finance

Models and agents for risk, forecasting, and operations. Every model call can be explained, and logged, when someone asks.

The work

Manufacturing

Inspection, quality, and plant systems, including computer vision. We test them on the line's actual failure cases.

The work

E-commerce

Agents for catalog, service, and operations. Built to move at the speed of the business, inside the policies you already run.

The work
Selected work

Systems we've shipped.

Firm

Governance is on every engagement.

Scott Ancheta spent two decades at Cisco and Dell designing and deploying systems for GM, Ford, Comerica, Fiat Chrysler, Cartier, and Marriott. He was on site when they went live. The last stretch of his work is runtime governance for enterprise AI, which is the standard SRA holds client systems to.

US-based engineers. The people who develop the model are the people who test it.

Questions

What people ask before the first call.

What is AI consulting here?

We help you decide whether the work should be a model in an existing job, an agent inside a function, or a new application. Then we develop it, test it, and leave your team able to run it.

Who owns the IP?

You do. The application, the data, and the model artifacts stay with you. We put policy on the calls and keep a record. Your data is not training material for someone else's product.

What does the first conversation cover?

The result you need, the data the system has to use, and what it must not do. You leave with a point of view on the build, including whether we should take the work.

How do you keep the cost down?

The build sits on tools we already operate, pointed at current models. Fewer vendors in the path. The price tracks the application, and we say so before work starts.

Tell us the result you need. We'll tell you what we'd develop, how we'd build it on our tools, and what has to be governed before it goes live.
