What this looks like in practice

How Reston firms put ai agents to work.

Document-intake automation for CPAs

A 40-person regional CPA firm uses an agent to read incoming client documents (bank statements, 1099s, W-2s), classify them, post the data into QuickBooks or the firm tax-prep system, and flag the missing ones. Intake bottleneck during tax season collapsed; staff hire freeze held.

Loan-package assembly

A regional commercial lender uses an agent to assemble loan packages: pull borrower docs from email, classify them, populate the loan-system template, and flag missing items back to the relationship manager. Cycle time dropped 40%; loan officers handle 30% more files.

Inbound triage

A 30-person services firm replaced the manual "who handles this?" step with an agent that reads every inbound email, classifies it by topic, urgency, and owner, and routes it into the right queue. The owner picks up only what needs them; routine items move without bothering them.

How we work

What the engagement looks like.

We start with a 30-minute call to identify the one workflow that, if it ran on its own, would buy back the most time. We then map the inputs (where do they come from?), the decisions (what rules and judgment apply?), the actions (which systems must the agent act inside?), and the escalation gates (when must a human approve?). We build the agent in two to four weeks. You watch it run alongside the current process for one week, then it takes over. We monitor the first month and tune. Most clients add their second agent within 90 days because the first one freed up capacity to think about the second.

Common questions

About ai agents for Reston businesses.

How is an AI agent different from RPA or workflow automation?

RPA follows a fixed script. Workflow automation moves data between tools on a schedule. An AI agent reads inputs that vary, makes a judgment, acts inside your tools, and escalates when the situation calls for a human. The agent handles the cases the RPA script breaks on.

What does an AI agent engagement cost?

A typical first agent runs $15K to $40K to design, build, and put into production, depending on the integration count and decision complexity. Ongoing compute and maintenance runs $200 to $2,000 per month. Pricing scoped per agent after a 30-minute discovery call.
