AI agent pipeline: an incoming customer question is processed by an agent and branches to a direct answer or human escalation

What enterprises already taught us about agents in production

Concrete numbers and cases from Capgemini's 2025 research and public reports from Klarna, JPMorgan and reMarkable.

54% in production

54% of enterprises now run AI agents in production (Capgemini 2025). The experiment phase is over, and the SME window to lead early is closing.

171% average ROI

Average ROI on production agents (same Capgemini research). Not a pilot promise, a measurable outcome on concrete processes.

Klarna: the escalation lesson

Klarna replaced 700 full-time customer service roles with agents and then scaled back for the complex cases. The valuable lesson: escalation belongs in the design.

reMarkable: live in 3 weeks

JPMorgan runs 450 use cases in production, reMarkable shipped one agent for one process in three weeks. That second one is the SME-realistic template.

Where SMEs get stuck

Four familiar situations where AI presentations don't translate into working systems.

Too much talk, too little production

Plenty of demos, plenty of webinars, plenty of presentations. But no working system in your own organization where the difference is measurable.

Unclear where to start

Which process is suitable as a first agent? Which one has enough volume, clear rules, and low risk if something goes wrong? Without that choice everything stays theory.

Enterprise frameworks that don't fit

Deloitte and McKinsey programs are built for enterprise budgets and timelines. At SME scale they become expensive documents without a working result.

Fear of failed projects

No clear escalation rules, no measurement, no knowledge transfer. That's the combination where AI projects stall without leaving anything behind.

How we do it differently

Five principles we apply to every agent project we run for SMEs.

One process, one agent

No 450-use-case roadmap, no Deloitte deck. Just something that goes into production tomorrow on one clearly defined process.

Fixed price upfront

Fixed-scope quote after the 30-minute agent scan. No open ended commitments, no surprises later, no time-and-materials drift.

Escalation built in

We don't deliver an agent without human-in-the-loop for edge cases. That's the direct lesson from Klarna and the difference between a demo and production.

Measurable within 2 months

Concrete KPIs agreed upfront, telemetry built into the system. No "AI strategy" report, just hard numbers showing what improved.

Dutch provider, built EU AI Act-aware

Data stays within agreed boundaries, audit trails built in, no opaque foreign vendor chains. We build to the requirements the EU AI Act sets for high-risk systems.

What's included, in four steps

From first conversation to a working agent in production, with measurement and knowledge transfer.

1

Agent scan (30 min, free)

Together we determine which process is most suitable as a first use case: volume, rules, risk and feasibility at SME scale.

2

Fixed-price quote

Scope, deliverables and deadline on a single page. You know upfront what you'll get, when, and what it costs. No open ended commitments.

3

Implementation with escalation

We build the agent with clear escalation rules (human-in-the-loop where needed) and connect it to your existing systems. Live within 2-4 weeks.

4

Measurement plus knowledge transfer

Telemetry so after 2 months you can say with hard numbers what improved. Plus documentation, so your team can extend the system themselves.

Custom project

One working agent, fixed scope, in 2-4 weeks

No pilot without an end, no abstract advice. A concrete system that fully runs one process, with escalation built in and measurement from day one.

Three cases that prove the approach

What enterprises shared publicly about agents in production, translated into what SMEs can learn from it.

Klarna: scaled back for the edge cases

Klarna replaced 700 full-time customer service roles with agents and then scaled back for the complex cases. Not a failure, but a design correction: agents for the routine, humans for the edges.

700 roles affected Human-in-the-loop redesigned The lesson escalation belongs

JPMorgan: 450 use cases in production

Not one mega project, but 450 separate, defined agents. That's exactly the scope discipline we apply at SME scale: one process at a time, make it measurable, then expand.

450 use cases live Per agent defined Scale via repetition

reMarkable: one process, three weeks

reMarkable built one working agent for one defined process, in production in three weeks. That's not an enterprise program, that's an SME-realistic template, and exactly how we set up every first project.

Frequently asked questions

What sets apart enterprises that successfully deploy AI agents?

Enterprises that succeed don't pick one big roadmap, they start small: one clearly defined process per agent, with escalation to humans for edge cases. Klarna learned that even they had to scale back for the complex cases. JPMorgan chose 450 separate use cases instead of one mega project. The common thread: scope discipline and human-in-the-loop.

How do I get started with AI agents as an SME?

Not with a 50-page strategy or a Deloitte deck. With one defined process that takes a lot of time and has clear rules (customer questions, quote drafting, invoice classification, contract review). reMarkable built one working agent in three weeks. That is the SME-realistic template: one process, one agent, in production within 2-4 weeks.

Which processes are suitable as a first agent?

Processes that are recurring, have clear rules, and where a mistake can be corrected before it reaches the customer. Concretely: first-line customer questions, quote drafting from templates, invoice classification and booking proposals, contract review against house rules, supplier confirmations. During the agent scan we pick the best fit together based on volume, rules and risk.

What does an AI agent project cost?

Pricing varies by scope. After the free 30-minute agent scan we know which process we'll automate and how much work it involves. You then receive a fixed-scope quote upfront, so no open ended commitments and no surprises later. An investment, not a cost: the return sits in time saved on the recurring task.

How quickly does the agent reach production?

Once the quote is approved, the first working version is in production within 2-4 weeks, connected to your existing systems. We measure from day one, and after 2 months you'll have hard numbers on the KPIs we agreed upfront. No pilot without an end, just an agent that gets work done.

What happens when the agent makes mistakes?

We design for that from day one. Every agent has clear escalation rules: as soon as the input falls outside agreed scope or confidence is too low, it goes to a human. That's exactly the Klarna lesson: agents are strong on the routine, humans stay essential for the edge cases. Human-in-the-loop is not a weakness of the system, it's part of the design.
