AI Agent Factory

We build custom AI agents that actually deliver value

From strategy to production deployment: we design, build and operate AI agents for the enterprise — with evidence-first governance, human oversight and free choice of stack (Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or open-source).

Why Data Riders

We are not just developers. We are a factory.

We run our own portfolio of production agents — we don't resell third-party tools. Every project carries the same editorial discipline, governance and safety engineering that we apply to our own.

Production line, not bricolage

Repeatable methodology: editorial design → knowledge curation → stack selection → safety engineering → deploy → operation. The same playbook we use on our own live agents.

Evidence-first governance

Every recommendation carries an evidence level (explicit/strong, explicit/moderate, inferred). Qualified engineers validate outputs. AI augments human judgement — never replaces it.

Stack-agnostic by design

Microsoft, AWS, Google or open-source: we choose the stack after understanding where your data lives, who owns identity and what your compliance must approve.

Security and privacy by design

Prompt injection defences, refusal patterns for sensitive areas (medical, legal, financial), PII handling, grounded-only responses and human-in-the-loop on critical actions.

Bilingual and multicultural

We operate in PT, EN and ES. Language auto-detection, consistent persona across languages and cultural adaptation — not literal translation. From corporate Brazil to the indigenous Amazon.

Measurable results

−88% time in GISTM gap identification (180h → 22h per facility). 80+ observations in auditable water balances. Active agents with clients in mining, water and territory.

Start with discovery

Let the RIDE Agent guide your solution

RIDE is our consulting agent, based on the Research · Identify · Develop · Evaluate framework. It runs a structured discovery interview and generates an executive work plan with scope, stack recommendations and next steps. Multilingual. No login.

Before the proposal, let's think together

In 5 to 10 minutes the RIDE Agent translates your challenge into a plan your leadership can read.

How we build

From idea to production in 6 steps

The same playbook used to build GISTM.ai, TSM.ai, TCM AI Assessor, RIDE Agent, AquaTwin, Muiraquitãna and Data Riders Agent.

Editorial design

Voice document, scope, out-of-scope patterns, ritual and refusal rules. In plain language, with the accountable person in the room.

Knowledge curation

Curated (not scraped) knowledge base. Primary sources, versioning, provenance and a curatorial inbox for updates. RAG over trustworthy documents.

Stack selection

Stack choice comes after the editorial work: where your data lives, who owns identity, what compliance must approve.

Safety engineering

Refusal patterns, prompt injection defences, PII handling, grounded-only responses, human-in-the-loop on sensitive actions.

Deploy & integration

Onboarded into your infrastructure, under your identity and governance perimeter. SSO, RBAC, observability, usage telemetry.

Continuous operation

Curatorial loops, weekly output reviews, prompt and rubric tuning, editorial SLAs. A live agent is maintained — not abandoned.

Where we apply

Use cases for enterprise AI agents

Audit & compliance

Evidence mapping against regulatory standards (GISTM, TSM, ANM, ESG). Automated gap analysis with traceable citations.

Document intelligence

Structured extraction from PDFs, spreadsheets and presentations. Turns files into auditable evidence with provenance.

Internal technical support

Enterprise copilot over your knowledge base, manuals and procedures. Grounded answers with links to the source.

Operations & analytics

Agents that combine operational data (SCADA, time series, ERP) with LLMs for diagnostics and prioritisation.

Risk & emergency

Continuous monitoring of critical KPIs, structured escalation, executable runbooks under human supervision.

Institutional engagement

Territorial, community and heritage agents — co-designed with cultural institutions and local partners.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI agent factory?

An engineering operation that designs, builds, tests and operates custom AI agents. We combine editorial design, knowledge curation, stack selection, safety engineering and human oversight to deliver agents that actually work in production — not prototypes that stay in a demo.

How long does it take to build an AI agent?

A productive pilot is typically ready in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on knowledge base complexity, integrations and the level of governance required. Before that, we run a RIDE discovery of about 5 to 10 days to align scope and a work plan. After the pilot, there are continuous cycles of operation and refinement.

What technologies do you build on?

We are stack-agnostic. We build on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio, AWS Bedrock and Agents, Google Vertex AI and Gemini, and on open-source stacks with Llama, Mistral and Qwen for private or regulated deployments. Frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP. Vector DBs: Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector. Stack choice comes after the editorial work.

Do you have real production agents?

Yes. We run seven live agents: GISTM.ai (tailings compliance), TSM.ai (TSM and PAEBM protocols audit), TCM AI Assessor (Copper Mark pre-audit), RIDE Agent (structured consulting), AquaTwin Agent (water balance), Muiraquitãna (Amazonian territorial agent) and Data Riders Agent (site assistant). Each one was co-designed with the end client or institutional partner and is in use.

What about governance, security and privacy?

Every recommendation carries an evidence level (explicit/strong, explicit/moderate, inferred). Qualified engineers validate outputs. We implement refusal patterns, prompt injection defences, PII handling, grounded-only responses and human-in-the-loop on sensitive actions. We adopt your identity perimeter (Entra, IAM, Vertex IAM) and your compliance officer joins the loop. See our security and privacy page.
