AI Agent & Automation Engineering

Automation and AI agents that hold up in production.

We design backend workflows and AI agents with built-in queuing, retries, and error handling, so they keep running when volume picks up.

Our approach

Most automation fails at the edges.

Workflows leak data, fail silently, or fall apart when lead volume increases. The root cause is usually the same: webhooks are dropped, API rate limits are hit, and no one built proper error handling or retry logic. Teams end up doing manual cleanup instead of real work.

We focus on the parts that break first, so pipelines behave the same way on the busiest day of the quarter as they do in testing.

01

Data queuing layers

Buffered intake so bursts of traffic are processed in order instead of overwhelming downstream systems.

02

Webhook reliability

Acknowledged, deduplicated, and replayable event handling so no record is silently lost.

03

Rate limit management

Throttling and backoff tuned to each API so integrations stay within limits under load.

04

Error-handling guardrails

Retries, dead-letter paths, and alerting so failures surface immediately and recover cleanly.

Services

What we build

Backend automation, AI agents, and integrations engineered for reliability, from first workflow to production infrastructure.

Custom AI Agents

Agents built with Claude and the Claude Agent SDK, including autonomous research agents, customer support agents, and internal operations tools.

Selected work

Systems in production

A sample of recent automation and AI builds delivered for clients.

Five-step flow: spot meetings, research attendees, check the CRM, AI writes the brief, send via WhatsApp

Case study 01

AI Sales Meeting Briefs via Apify & WhatsApp

An n8n engine that polls calendars for upcoming meetings, scrapes attendee LinkedIn profiles and CRM records via Apify, then uses OpenAI to synthesize a concise pre-meeting brief delivered over WhatsApp.

Data from APIs, web, and business records flows into a knowledge engine, then finder, analyst, and checker agents produce instant answers

Case study 02

Multi-Agent RAG System & API Data Pipeline

A multi-agent RAG system on self-hosted n8n that scrapes API endpoints, parses data with Groq, and generates embeddings that keep a vector store continuously current, with custom error handling throughout.

Four steps: request in Slack, smart form opens, approve in one click, events and billing update

Case study 03

Slack-Driven Event & Concierge Operations Engine

An operational engine connecting Slack, Attio CRM, and Stripe, routing real-time Slack webhooks into interactive modals that update CRM records, track events, and handle billing logic automatically.

“Sona was excellent to work with from start to finish. He demonstrated strong Shopify expertise, understood requirements quickly, and delivered clean, high-quality work with great attention to detail. Communication was smooth throughout the project, and he was proactive in suggesting improvements rather than just implementing instructions blindly. What stood out most was his reliability and problem-solving ability — he handled challenges independently and ensured everything worked perfectly before delivery. The final result matched the design and functionality requirements exactly. I would highly recommend Sona to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable Shopify developer, and I would gladly work with him again.”
