What is an AI agent for a small business?
An AI agent is software that reads messy information, such as emails, documents and call notes, works out what it means, and takes the next step inside your systems: matching an update to the right job, drafting a reply, or flagging what's missing. Loque Logic builds agents for one job at a time, with approval steps, an exception queue and a fallback, so a person stays in charge of anything consequential.
How do you train an AI agent on our business?
Loque Logic trains an agent with your rules, your examples, your documents, guardrails and review loops, not by building a model from scratch. We write down the rules with the people who do the work, test the agent against real examples from your business, give it your templates and checklists to read from, set the limits it can't cross, and run it beside the old way until its answers match. Corrections go back into the rules and examples. Fine-tuning a model comes later, as part of maintenance, and only where it earns its place.
How much does it cost to build an AI agent?
A typical Loque Logic automation project, an AI agent included, is $3,000 to $12,000, quoted at a fixed price after scoping, and it can be less or more depending on how complex the work is. The price covers the build, the training and the parallel run. Running costs after launch are the model usage and hosting, billed to accounts you own with no markup, plus optional support.
Who manages the agent after it’s built?
You choose. You own the agent, so your own people can run it from the documentation and runbooks. Ongoing support from Loque Logic, usually $250 to $3,000 a month, keeps one agent running: monitoring, fixes, model changes and small improvements. A fractional AI Automation Director, $1,000 to $4,000+ a month, runs your whole AI program: every agent you have, the tools and vendors around them, spend, the roadmap and the policy.
Do you manage AI agents another company built?
Yes, within the fractional AI Automation Director retainer, which reviews the AI tools and vendors you already use and manages projects other firms deliver. Whether Loque Logic can take over maintaining a specific agent depends on what its code and documentation look like, so that's agreed in scoping before any commitment.
Which AI models do your agents use?
Mostly Anthropic's Claude through its API, with AWS Bedrock where a client needs tighter control over data retention, and other providers' models where they do a specific job better. The model is one part of the design, chosen in scoping, and it runs in accounts you own. Where patient data is involved, only platforms under a business associate agreement are used.
Is our data used to train the model?
Not by Loque Logic. Training here means teaching an agent your rules and examples, and those stay in your accounts. Whether a model provider keeps or trains on what passes through it depends on that provider's terms, which we check when we choose the tools, and in regulated industries we evaluate each tool and model against zero data retention requirements.
