For post-sales, FDE & product teams

Forward Deployed Agents

Agents that work across companies to deploy, integrate, and migrate your products.

Your agents work with your customers’ agents in privacy-aware shared threads across company boundaries. They come up with plans, integration maps, and acceptance tests to continually integrate your products.

  • You get: faster time to revenue at higher scale.
  • Your customers get: continuous high touch technical engagement, day and night.

Use case 01

Continuous integration across companies

For FDEs, SAs, ProServ, and your customers

Your agent and your customer’s agent build the integration together, move it across versions, catch what breaks, and draft the fix. Your engineers review and approve. Nothing ships until a human signs off.

Owned by you. CustomerCo never edits this.

Step 3 of 4 · Vendor ships the harness

Your agent writes, owns, and ships the harness on your own repo, on your own CI. CustomerCo never touches the code. If CustomerCo ever wants changes, they ask back in the same thread.

Every run is logged. Every fix is reviewed before it ships.

Use case 02

Embeddable agents your customers can call

For your customers and your FDEs

Your customer drops a scoped version of your agent into their own Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Now they debug against your product right in their editor, in minutes, instead of filing a ticket and waiting.

One command to embed. Works in any harness.

Use case 03

Agent helpers for your GTM teams

For account teams, SAs, ProServ, and FDEs

Put an agent in the Slack channel you already share with the customer. Your TAMs and AEs work next to it to answer questions and unblock issues, without paging an engineer for every ask.

You, your customer, and the agent in one thread.

Cross-Company Privacy and Security

Agents only have access to shared context and what you explicitly allow

Each side shares only what’s relevant, nothing more. Field-level guards and per-object access controls enforce the boundary, so sensitive data never crosses by accident. Built to produce deterministic results from LLM usage via judges, workflows and privacy shields.

A long standing problem

Product teams ship amazing things but customer deployments lag.

Per-tenant schemas, undocumented workflows, legacy format drops: all of it piles up on post-sales and forward deployed engineering teams, who move, migrate, and stabilize every account by hand while onboarding the next. Worst of all, your product teams don’t get real-time feedback on what is blocking customer adoption.

Custom APIs per customer

Different auth flows, different schemas, different rate limits. Every integration starts from scratch.

Legacy formats and drops

SOAP endpoints, SFTP folders, mainframe exports, vendor-specific CSVs. The stuff nobody documented.

Undocumented workflows

The real process lives in someone's head or a Confluence page last edited in 2019.

Unique data models

Custom objects, tenant-specific validations, and field mappings that break every assumption.

Quickstart

Zero to deployed agent in five commands

Use the CLI for rapid development, testing, and iteration right from your coding agent (Claude, Codex, Cursor). Or use ArchAgents on web for a more visual experience.

  1. 01
    Install

    Install the CLI and plug in your coding agent

    One binary. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. archagent setup wires the plugin into Claude Code and Codex so /embed (Claude) or $embed (Codex) operates through any agent you deploy.

    brew install ArchAstro/tools/archagent
    archagent setup
  2. 02
    Authenticate

    Log in with your work email

    Work email sets up your company workspace. Personal email addresses aren't supported.

    bash
    archagent auth login you@company.com
  3. 03
    Scaffold

    Scaffold a project

    archagent init creates a configs directory with agent, script, and workflow templates you can version in git.

    bash
    archagent init
  4. 04
    Install

    Install a starter agent from the catalog

    One command. The sample lands in your project, fully editable. Want to write your own? Drop in an agent.yaml and run archagent deploy agent agent.yaml.

    bash
    archagent list agentsamples
archagent install agentsample <slug>
  5. 05
    Test

    Start a session and send a prompt

    create agentsession starts a one-off task. exec runs the prompt. --follow streams the run.

    bash
    archagent create agentsession --agent $AGENT_ID \
  --instructions "Help Acme resolve their webhook setup."
archagent exec agentsession $SESSION_ID -m "Why is the signature check failing?"
archagent describe agentsession $SESSION_ID --follow

The best of build and buy

A runtime your FDE team would build if they had the time

You focus on the agents that deliver faster customer deployments. We run the cross-company infrastructure and continually improve the runtime so you can focus on your customers.

Agents as YAML

An AgentTemplate declares identity, tools, routines, and installations. Version it in git, review in PRs, roll back when a prompt regresses.

Per-customer isolation

Each customer agent has its own credentials and memory/long-termnamespace, scoped to your app and org. One noisy neighbor can’t leak into another.

Cross-company threads

archagent create threadopens a single thread with explicit, audited membership across orgs. Your FDE agent and your customer’s IT agent talk in one place.

Routines and automations

Handlers bind to real events: thread.session.join, thread.message_added, inbound webhooks, cron. Logic is a script, a workflow graph, or a preset.

Any model, per agent

A model: field on each AgentTemplate. Swap Claude for GPT-4o for a customer with a BAA. Model choice is config, not a rewrite.

Every run observable

Every tool call, retrieved passage, and LLM response is logged. archagent list agentroutineruns and describe agentsession --follow replay them after the fact.

Benchmarks

Our built-in knowledge and retrieval enables per-customer and deep shared context

Most agent platforms bolt memory onto a vector DB and move on. We publish results against four academic benchmarks instead. All results use GPT-4o as the answering model.

Embeddable agents · how it works

Your agent, inside Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor

An embeddable agent is the ArchAgent you built, exposed through your customer’s coding harness. They install the ArchAgents plugin once, then a plain-English prompt is enough. Codex, Claude, or Cursor operates through the agent you designed, calls its tools, searches its knowledge, and answers from the same operating surface the live agent uses. Scoped, audited, revocable.

Run setup once from your terminal, restart Claude Code, then invoke embed inside Claude. From that point on, Claude discovers the agent's attached tools, skills, and knowledge, and answers from the same operating surface the live agent uses.

1. Install the local plugin

shell
archagent setup

2. Invoke embed inside Claude Code

Claude Code
/embed

3. Operate through your deployed agent

Prompt · paste into Claude Code

Use our Acme Deployment agent through the archagents plugin. Pull its tools and search corpus, then use them to debug why webhook signature validation keeps failing on Acme's staging env.

A support case that used to be “send us a HAR file and wait three days” becomes: the customer’s engineer asks Claude in their IDE, Claude runs your agent’s tool, the answer lands in their editor.

Cross-Company Agent Runtime

Zero infrastructure overhead and config-as-code.

Easily build custom agents with routines, tools, knowledge, memory, computer use, and more. Declarative YAML and scripting lets you build end-to-end workflows without standing up new services.

  • Route inbound events. Agents can listen to webhooks and triggers to respond exactly when you need them to. Or wake up proactively based on schedules.
  • Validate before hand-off. Verify a webhook signature before the agent sees the payload.
  • Respond to customer agents. Agents can emit structured JSON to deliver results to each other and your workflows.
  • Trigger follow-ups. Post to a rollout thread when an integration test finishes.

agentscript runs inside the platform, binds to real events, and ships with typed namespaces for the resources you’d otherwise bolt together: threads, agents, users, slack, requests, email, jwt. No endpoint to host, no secrets to rotate, no container image to build.

agentscript · slack-router.script
let agents  = import("agents")

if (channel_id != "" && text != "") {
  let agent  = unwrap(agents.get({ agent: handle }))
  let thread = unwrap(threads.ensure_by_key({
    key: "slack:" + channel_id + ":" + handle,
    title: agent.name,
    agent_user_id: agent.id,
  }))
  threads.post_message({ thread: thread.id, text: text })
}

FAQ

Common questions

What is a Forward Deployed Agent?

The AI extension of the role your customer engineering team already plays. A Forward Deployed Agent lives between you and one customer, with persistent memory of their environment, scoped credentials, and a cross-company thread your team and theirs share. Your FDE team designs the agent once and deploys one per customer. The agent does the deployment work that does not need a human; your team comes in for the parts that do.

Is this self-serve or enterprise-only?

Both. Sign in with a work email and we set up your company workspace on the spot — Team pricing applies by default. Enterprise lifts the scale caps, replaces the published rate with a negotiated contract, and adds hands-on support.

How is per-customer isolation enforced?

Every customer agent has its own credentials and memory namespace, scoped to your app and org. Nothing leaks between customers by accident. Agents can still collaborate across boundaries, but only through thread memberships you explicitly grant and we audit.

What can Claude or Codex actually do through my agent?

Operating through a deployed agent is deliberately narrow. You can only operate through agents inside an app you already have access to. Claude or Codex pulls the agent’s current tool and skill surface, lets you run those tools locally, and installs linked skills into the harness. It can’t bypass company boundaries, thread-membership rules, or existing approvals. Scoped, audited, revocable. Every session is logged with an impersonated_byclaim on the access token, so there’s always a trail.

Which LLMs can I use?

Any major model, configured per agent. A customer with a BAA can be on Claude while the agent next door runs GPT-4o. It’s one field in the AgentTemplate, not a fork of the runtime.

Will our data be used to train models?

No. Your data, your customers' data, and your conversations stay in your workspace. We don't train on any of it, and model calls are scoped per agent.

How much does it cost?

We're in private beta with design partners, so pricing is scoped to your customer volume and workload. Email us and we'll walk through what a workspace for your team looks like.

Where does the source live?

The CLI, example agents, and script-language reference are open source at github.com/ArchAstro/archagents. The platform runtime is closed-source today, but that’s the only piece.
