AI-native talent: a new way to do staff augmentation

A Person Today. Agents in Six Months.

We place a skilled person in your team for six months, and an AI-native engineer works alongside them to automate about 80% of the role, so you keep the output at a fraction of the cost.

The problem

Stop hiring for work AI will absorb.

About to hire

You’re about to hire or replace a role full of repeatable, process-driven work. Hiring locally is expensive, and the role may not exist in two years.

Looking at cheaper staff

Traditional staffing and most staff augmentation services cut the rate, but you sign a twelve-month contract for manual work that never gets cheaper.

Bought the AI tools

Copilot and the rest are paid for. Your team barely uses them, and no one knows how to build agents well.

You need a person today. You shouldn’t need one for the same work in six months.

How it works

Hire for six months. Automate for good.

We do the AI for you. This is AI staff augmentation without buying tools, hiring engineers or training your team: we build it and we run it.

An AI-native engineer sits alongside them, learns the role and builds the workflows and agents that take over the repeatable work.

About 80% of tasks

About 80% of the tasks run on agents. The person drops to roughly five hours a week as the human in the loop, checking quality and handling exceptions.

Before and after

Six months, not twelve. Then your costs go down.

A shorter commitment than traditional staffing or team augmentation, with a defined end point, and a low-risk first step into AI with a person in the seat throughout.

and answers

They stay on as the human in the loop for around five hours a week, checking quality and handling exceptions. They don’t lose their job: the rest of their week goes to managing agents across several clients.

About 80% is a target, not a promise. Your 20-minute role review shows how much of the role we expect the agents to take on before you start. If they take on less, the person keeps doing the rest, so the work still gets done.

We build the agents and workflows and license them to you as part of your monthly fee, and we maintain, monitor and improve them. Your data, and the work the agents produce, stay yours.

The systems your team already uses. Your role review confirms what’s in scope.

Your data stays in your own systems. Our people and agents work inside the tools your team already uses, with only the access you give them. The same security standards behind every Studio system apply: access controls, a security review before anything goes live, a record of what the agents do, and no change to your systems without your sign-off.

Yes. If you’re not ready for AI, take a traditional twelve-month placement instead, and the person stays in the role full time.

About $2,000 a month, in AUD and excluding GST, for agents we maintain and license, with a human in the loop.
