Applied AI for the enterprise

AI for the enterprises that build, move and finance the economy.

We build, deploy and operate AI agents for the specific workflows that drive revenue and operations in large enterprises. Delivered as a service. Measured on outcomes.

How we work

  1. 01 Build AI agents for one high-value workflow, designed around your rules.
  2. 02 Deploy Inside the systems you already run, with your people in the loop.
  3. 03 Operate Run, measured and improved by our engineers, every month.

Our thesis

For decades, the operating edge belonged to companies that could afford to build it — years of custom software, armies of consultants, entire engineering departments. AI changed the equation. The edge is no longer owning the stack. It’s how fast you put AI to work where it matters.

Before

Build it yourself

Multi-year programs, seven-figure budgets and an internal team to keep it all alive.

  • Years before the first result
  • Generic tools, bent to fit
  • Most AI pilots never reach production
Now

Subscribe to it

A production-grade AI system for one critical workflow — built on our AI core and operated by our engineers.

  • Live on one focused workflow first, then scale
  • Built for the specifics of your industry
  • Improved every month, for one predictable fee
How it works

Example workflows, run end to end. Yours would follow your rules.

From inbox to outcome — with your team in control.

Our agents read documents, apply your rules, update your systems and escalate decisions to the right person. Every step is logged, measurable and reversible.

The platform

One AI core, shared by every workflow we run.

Everything it takes to run AI in production.

Every Pine Bend system is built on the same core — so each new workflow starts from shared building blocks, not from zero.

Workflow agents

Agents that execute multi-step processes end to end, following your rules and escalating exceptions to people.

Document intelligence

Read contracts, purchase orders, IDs, drawings and emails in any format, and turn them into clean, validated data.

Operational data model

Your ERP, CRM, spreadsheets and documents connected into one live model of how your business actually runs.

Decision models

Pricing, risk, demand and anomaly models trained on your history and monitored in production.

System writeback

Two-way integration with your ERP, CRM, banks and tax systems. Agents don’t just read — they get the work done.

Control tower

Real-time visibility into every workflow, exception and result — with a complete audit trail.

Your custom agent

A workflow no software covers? We’ll design the agent for it.

Engagement model

AI as a service. Long-term by design.

One partner. One monthly fee. Outcomes you can measure.

Traditional software projects end at go-live. Ours start there. You get a dedicated team that builds, runs and improves your AI systems for the long term.

Included in every engagement

  • A dedicated pod of AI and integration engineers
  • Hosting, monitoring and security operations
  • Integrations with your ERP, CRM and core systems
  • Continuous improvements and new automations
  • Monthly impact reviews with your leadership
  • Enterprise support with agreed service levels

Accountability Internal Shared, often unclear Outcomes reviewed monthly
Security

Your data stays yours.

Built for mission-critical operations and enterprise security reviews — with controls your security team will recognize.

  • Never trains shared models

    Your data is used only for your systems — never to train models for anyone else.

  • Encrypted end to end

    Encryption in transit and at rest, with keys and secrets managed per client.

  • SSO & role-based access

    Single sign-on, least-privilege roles and approvals that mirror your org chart.

  • Complete audit trail

    Every agent action, input, output and human decision is logged and reviewable.

  • Your cloud or ours

    Deploy in our managed environment or inside your own cloud tenancy.

  • Humans in the loop

    Critical decisions stay with your people. Agents act only within the permissions you grant.

FAQ

Questions we hear often

Another question? Send it through the form below

What does “AI as a service” mean in practice?

Instead of buying licenses and running a one-time implementation, you pay a monthly subscription. It covers the engineering, infrastructure, integrations, monitoring and continuous improvement of the AI systems we build and operate for you.

Who do you work with?

Large enterprises with complex, high-volume workflows — typically spanning multiple sites, systems and teams, where improving a single workflow is worth millions — in Mexico and the United States.

Do we have to replace our ERP or CRM?

No. We integrate with the systems you already run — SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and industry-specific platforms — and add AI on top. Agents read from and write back to your systems of record.

How do you get past the pilot stage?

We start with one workflow and a metric your leadership cares about, agree on the baseline up front and design for production from day one: real integrations, security review, monitoring and change management — not a demo in a sandbox.

Who owns the data and the results?

You do. Your data is never used to train models for other clients, and you can export it at any time. Terms for custom components are agreed in each contract.

How is pricing structured?

A monthly subscription based on scope: the workflows we run, volumes, integrations and service levels. After a discovery session, you get a clear proposal tied to the outcomes we agree on.

Where do you work?

We’re based in Chicago and work with enterprise teams across the United States and Mexico.

What happens next

  1. We review your note

    We look at the workflow you describe, the systems it touches and the outcome you’re after.

  2. An introductory call

    A working conversation about how the workflow runs today, where AI agents could take on the work and how success would be measured.

  3. A focused proposal or pilot

    If there’s a fit, we propose one focused workflow — or a design-partner pilot — scoped and measured against your baseline.
