Agentic System Design
Multi-agent AI systems built for production.
We design and ship agentic AI architectures that coordinate multiple models, Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, into systems businesses actually run on. Not demos that fall apart under real traffic.
Most "AI agents" never leave the demo
Every team building with AI hits the same wall:
- A single-model chatbot handles the easy 80% and falls apart on everything else
- Coordinating multiple AI calls into one reliable workflow turns into spaghetti fast
- What worked in a notebook breaks under real users, real latency, real edge cases
- No clear pattern for when to hand off between agents, retry, or escalate to a human
The result? Months spent prompt-tuning a system that still can't be trusted with anything that matters.
Agentic systems designed to run unattended
Lava Rock Labs architects multi-agent systems the same way we build our own products, because we run our own AI receptionist and our own apps on this exact framework.
- Model orchestration — the right model for each step: Claude for reasoning, GPT-4 or Gemini where they're stronger, Retell for voice
- Clear handoff logic — defined rules for when one agent passes to another, retries, or escalates to a human
- Production-first — built with monitoring, logging, and failure modes in mind from day one, not bolted on after launch
- Documented architecture — your team can read, extend, and maintain the system after we hand it off
How we work with you
Discovery
We map your workflow: where AI should decide, where it should draft, where a human must approve. We identify the failure modes that actually matter for your business.
Design & Build
We architect the agent coordination pattern, sequential, parallel, supervisor/worker, or hybrid, and build it against your real data, not synthetic examples.
Deploy & Hand Off
We ship to production with monitoring and analytics in place, so you always have visibility into how the system is performing.
You decide the involvement level
Have a team that can take it from here? We hand off full documentation and access. Prefer we keep monitoring, modifying, and managing it as things evolve? We can run it as an ongoing engagement instead. Every setup is scoped to your team's capacity, case by case.
Built for teams who need AI that actually ships
- Enterprises automating complex workflows — multi-step processes where a single prompt isn't enough
- Startups building AI-native products — teams who need production architecture, not just a working demo
- Engineering teams stuck past the prototype — you've proven the concept, now it needs to survive real users
- Operations leaders automating decision-heavy work — processes with real branching logic, not simple if/then automation
Custom quote based on scope
Every agentic system is different, pricing depends on your workflow, complexity, and how hands-on you want us to stay. Message us and we'll walk you through pricing tailored to your needs.
Why choose Lava Rock Labs
We build what we sell. We don't just consult on agentic AI, we run it. Our own AI answering service and our own apps run on the multi-agent patterns we design for clients, so you're getting architecture that's already proven under real usage, not theory.
Multi-model, not single-vendor. We orchestrate across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini/Vertex AI, and Retell, picking the right model for each part of the job instead of betting your system on one vendor's roadmap.
Hawaii-based, built for remote collaboration. Based in Kailua-Kona, working with clients nationwide. Async-friendly process, clear documentation, no dependency on us being in the room.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to already have an AI prototype?
No. We've taken projects from a blank page through to production, and we've also taken over half-built prototypes that stalled.
What if our data or systems are messy?
That's normal, not a blocker. Discovery includes mapping what you actually have before we design around it.
Who owns the system once it's built?
You do. We hand off full documentation and architecture so your team can operate and extend it without us.
How is this different from your Virtual Phone Assistant service?
The Virtual Phone Assistant is a managed product you subscribe to. Agentic System Design is custom architecture work, we build a system for your specific workflow and hand it to your team.
