Agent Application Design Partner Program

Turn one real workflow into a governed Agent Application.

Scope the application experience, agent behavior, knowledge, Skills, Tools, Permissions, evidence, and operating boundary with the Ikentic team.

Design Partner Program

How it works

Define the knowledge agent's behavior: what it can see, what it can do, and where a human has to approve. We build and launch it with you using the Ikentic Agent Development Kit (ADK) and platform.

Why teams get stuck

Delegating knowledge work to agents makes trust the hardest problem. If it doesn’t just work for the user, trust and ROI are lost quickly.

You need:

Spec (behavior you can design for)
Grounding (approved knowledge)
Permissions (allowed skills + integrations)
Operations and observability (sources + tool history)
Delegation loop (run, monitor, improve)

What we'll build together

A well-designed knowledge agent experience that exhibits behavior and outcomes you can trust, built in the IKE environment:

Spec: clear behavior and boundaries for the agent.
Grounding: agent answers constrained to approved knowledge.
Permissions: a tight set of skills and integrations, with explicit access rules.
Lineage: knowledge and action history so outputs are reviewable.
Delegation loop: a stable agent platform so you can run it, monitor it, and improve it over time.

What you get

A working first version built with an experienced agent dev team, plus a path to keep running and improving it after delivery.

A trusted agent module your team can deploy and keep improving upon.
Quicker time to market with direct access to a team that builds agent systems full-time.
Influence the application and platform patterns that support your workflow.
A clear operating, support, and expansion path after delivery.

Commercial considerations

Pricing is confirmed after the first call, once scope and deployment needs are clear.

Agent Application delivery and operation

If you continue after delivery, commercial terms typically include:

Implementation terms for the first focused workflow or Agent Application.
Platform and runtime terms based on users, customers, environments, and governance requirements.
Ongoing support, change control, and expansion terms where needed.
Pass-through costs for model usage and workload-specific cloud infrastructure.

Final scope and baseline pricing are confirmed after the first call.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ongoing IKE path after delivery?

We agree on the operating model for the delivered workflow or Agent Application, including platform and runtime use, support for the production baseline, change control, and expansion.

What affects pricing as we scale?

Deployment scope (environments, governance), number of users or customers, and any additional workflows or integrations beyond the first deliverable.

Which costs are included vs pass-through?

Implementation and ongoing platform or support terms are separate from usage. Model/API consumption and any workload-specific infrastructure are billed as pass-through. We keep these costs transparent and tied to what the workflow actually uses.

What happens on the first call?

We pick one workflow, one success metric, and the constraints. That includes permissions, evidence and lineage requirements where applicable, and where human review is required. If it’s a fit, we confirm timeline and commercial terms.

What happens after the first workflow ships?

Teams can keep operating the workflow on IKE and extend it with more workflows, deeper integrations, and broader rollout. We agree on the ongoing operating and support path before delivery closes.

Can we extend this into a larger application?

Yes. We start with one workflow so you can ship something reliable under real constraints. After that, teams typically expand in stages: more workflows, additional tools, deeper integrations, broader rollout.

What counts as a good first workflow for the partnership?

A workflow that produces a concrete artifact (brief, decision memo, review, draft, escalation, checklist) with clear inputs and outputs. The more real your constraints are, the more value you get from evidence, review, and lineage.

What do you need from our team to make the implementation go well?

A product owner and a technical owner who can meet weekly, access to workflow context (docs, SOPs, examples), and a clear success metric. We can start with redacted samples or a sandbox if needed.

What do we get at the end of the first implementation?

A working workflow you can operate, plus a written behavior spec covering scope, evidence expectations, review surfaces, and operating limits.

How do you handle sensitive data, permissions, and review requirements?

We define access up front: what the workflow can see, what it can do, and what requires review. Where evidence and lineage apply, outputs include what reviewers need to inspect before approval.

What if our production timeline is still forming?

You can still reach out. We can use the first call to map the likely application boundary, identify the missing owner or success metric, and decide whether guided scoping should continue now.

Who should join the first call?

The product owner and technical owner. Bring security or compliance if that will be part of approval.

What integrations/tools can we connect during the engagement?

We align on the minimum needed to ship the first workflow. Deeper integrations can come after, once the baseline is running.

Is this a fit if we just want a demo or a generic chatbot?

Probably not. This is for teams trying to ship a real workflow with real constraints and keep it running.

Ready to scope a workflow?

If you are trying to ship an agent that has to be reviewable, permissioned, and repeatable, we will help you define and deliver one focused workflow or Agent Application on IKE.
