Begin with a private mapping session, then move into a blueprint or annual engagement.
Private AI Atelier
Private AI, made to measure.
Agent Atelier designs and maintains private AI agents for founders, principals, and firms whose work requires discretion, judgment, and precision.
Each annual plan includes $1,000 of token usage. Overage is charged at cost.
The craft
An agent shaped around your standards.
Founded in San Francisco, Agent Atelier is a small, hands-on practice for clients who want AI configured around their actual work — not a generic tool they have to manage themselves.
Not a template. Not another dashboard. A private agent is commissioned around your communication style, trusted sources, recurring decisions, and boundaries. It learns the shape of your work, then quietly helps carry it.
For example: before an important call, your agent can prepare the relevant context, prior correspondence, open decisions, and likely follow-ups — ready for your review.
Briefings
Prepared context before meetings, calls, and decisions.
Correspondence
Drafts, summaries, replies, and follow-ups in your preferred voice.
Research
Focused investigation across trusted sources and public information.
Memory
A private record of preferences, people, projects, and working context.
Boundaries
Clear rules for what may be drafted, prepared, escalated, or left untouched.
Refinement
Continued adjustment as your standards, tools, and routines evolve.
The commission
Installed with care. Refined over time.
Each engagement begins with a close study of how you work, then continues through setup, adjustment, and ongoing refinement.
Discover
Understand your work, preferences, standards, and what must remain in your hands.
Design
Define what should be prepared, drafted, remembered, escalated, or left untouched.
Build
Install the private agent around your tools, information, and daily routines.
Refine
Adjust tone, judgment, and behavior using examples from your actual work.
Operate
Continue refining the agent as your routines, standards, and needs evolve.
The path
From first mapping to full commission.
Start with a focused working session. If there is a clear fit, continue into a written blueprint before committing to an annual engagement.
