What we do

Four ways we build AI into your operations.

01

AI Opportunity Audit

We map your workflows and find where AI actually pays off - and, just as importantly, where it doesn't. You leave with a ranked, costed shortlist, not a wish list.

  • Workflow and data-flow mapping across your real operations
  • ROI-ranked opportunities with effort and risk estimates
  • A two-page plan your team can act on immediately
02

Integration & Implementation

We build LLM features, agents, and automation into the systems you already run - CRMs, ERPs, internal tools, and data pipelines. Working software, in production.

  • Agents and copilots wired into your CRM, ERP, and internal tools
  • Retrieval, automation, and evaluation built to production standards
  • Rollout with monitoring, guardrails, and a clean handoff
03

Custom AI Tooling

When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build the internal tools that do: copilots, document pipelines, and evaluation harnesses tuned to your domain.

  • Internal copilots grounded in your own knowledge and data
  • Document pipelines: intake, extraction, classification, routing
  • Evaluation harnesses so quality is measured, not assumed
04

Team Enablement & Advisory

We leave your team more capable than we found it - training, governance, and ongoing fractional AI leadership so the work keeps compounding after we go.

  • Practical training for the people who'll own the systems
  • Governance and security policy that holds up under scrutiny
  • Fractional AI leadership for as long as you need it

How we work

Audit. Pilot. Integrate. Enable.

  1. 01

    Audit

    We learn how your business actually runs and pinpoint where AI earns its keep. One to two weeks.

  2. 02

    Pilot

    We ship a working pilot against the highest-ROI opportunity - real data, real users, in weeks.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    We wire the proven pilot into your systems with monitoring, guardrails, and evaluation in place.

  4. 04

    Enable

    We train your team to own it and stay on as advisors for as long as it's useful.

Why Derkins Labs

Senior, specific, and on your side.

01

Vendor-neutral

We're not reselling a platform. We pick the model, stack, and build-vs-buy that fits your problem - and tell you when the answer is 'don't build this yet.'

02

Engineers, not slide-makers

The people who scope the work are the people who ship it. You get working software wired into your systems, not a deck and a follow-on proposal.

03

Security-conscious

Data boundaries, access, retention, and evaluation are designed in from day one - because AI touching your real operations has to hold up under scrutiny.

About

A small team, by design.

Derkins Labs is a small, senior team of engineers who build AI into real operations. We're not a reseller - we scope the work we'll build, then build it, wired into the systems your business already depends on.

We take on a small number of engagements at a time so the people you meet are the people who do the work. When we're done, your team is more capable than we found it.
