From use case to production: we build AI agents that read your data, act inside your systems and account for what they do — hosted where your data is allowed to live.
An AI agent is not a chatbot. It combines a language model, memory, retrieval over your documents, your business rules and connections to your applications. Its scope, its permissions and its validation steps are defined **before** deployment — which is what makes it supervisable, measurable, and acceptable to a risk department.

Two ways to start
Depending on whether the use case is already identified or still to be found, the first step is not the same.
01
Use-case assessment
We walk through your processes with your teams, keep the ones whose volume and regularity justify an agent, and rule out the rest. The output is a roadmap costed in effort and lead time — usable even if you do not continue with us.
Mapping of processes and available data
Use cases ranked by effort and expected gain
Compliance constraints captured at this stage
02
Custom AI agent
The use case is known: we design the agent, connect it to your sources, define its permissions and validation steps, then roll it out in stages — a narrow scope first, widened on observed results.
Connection to your applications and document stores
Permissions, logging and handover to a human operator
Progressive rollout, measured at every step
What an agent can do
Six families of use cases, chosen because they match sectors we already work in. These are not case studies: none describes an identifiable client.
Multilingual customer service
Answering routine requests in French, English and Wolof from validated sources, and handing over to an adviser as soon as a case falls outside the agreed scope.
Case-file processing
Reading the documents in a file, checking it is complete, extracting the expected data and preparing the decision — the decision itself remaining human.
Search across procedures
Finding the applicable rule across circulars, memos and contracts, and returning the answer with the exact passage it rests on — not a paraphrase.
Control and compliance
Reconciling data across several systems, flagging discrepancies and cases to review, and leaving a trace of what was checked and when.
Business operations
Running authorised tasks inside your applications — create, update, follow up — with human validation wherever the action commits the organisation.
Decision support
Combining internal data, applying your business rules and proposing the next action, explained well enough that the team can push back on it.
Assistant, copilot, automation or agent?
The four words get used interchangeably, yet they describe four levels of autonomy — and therefore four levels of cost, lead time and risk. The right level is the simplest one that produces the expected result, never the most impressive.
01
Assistant
Searches and answers within a knowledge base. Changes nothing. The fastest level to put in service, and the only one that writes nothing.
02
Copilot
Prepares a summary, a recommendation or a draft, submitted for human validation. The human keeps control of what goes out.
03
Automation
Runs a stable chain of rules and actions across several applications. Predictable, but rigid: it does not adapt to a new case.
04
AI agent
Analyses the context, picks an action from those it is authorised to take and executes it with full traceability. The only level that decides — and therefore the one that needs the strictest framing.
From framing to production
Each step handles the business, technical and adoption questions together. Separating the three is what produces successful pilots that never reach production.
01
Frame
Choose the process, the users, the accessible data and the success indicators. A written scope is what will later let you say whether it works.
02
Design
Define the architecture, the connections to your systems, the agent’s permissions, its business rules and the points where a human validates.
03
Deploy
Test under real conditions on a narrow scope, train the teams, then widen in stages rather than opening it to everyone at once.
04
Measure
Track handled cases, answer quality and human takeovers, and correct the agent from what is observed — not from what was planned.
Sovereignty, compliance and oversight
In the sectors we work in — banking, microfinance, public finance — this is the chapter that decides, not the demo.
Sovereign hosting
The agent and your data run on infrastructure you are allowed to use: our sovereign cloud, your own datacentre, or yours hosted with us. This is work Xbit already does — not a promise written for the occasion.
Law 2008-12 and CDP
The applicable framework is Senegalese first: law no. 2008-12 on personal data protection and the filing obligations with the Commission de protection des données personnelles. GDPR comes on top for organisations that also handle European data.
Permissions and partitioning
The agent only sees what its role allows, and only writes where it has been explicitly authorised to write. Permissions are defined at framing and verified at acceptance — not inferred in use.
Human oversight
Sensitive exchanges are logged and reviewable, and any action that commits the organisation goes through a validation step. Your teams can take over at any point without losing the context.
What drives price and lead time
Price depends mostly on how many systems must be connected, the state of the data, the level of autonomy chosen and the compliance requirements. An agent limited to one process is faster to make reliable than a general-purpose system — and that is almost always where to start.
Business scope and real request volume
Connections to core banking, document management, existing APIs
Access rules, human validations and compliance requirements
Languages to cover — Wolof requires specific work
Testing, team training and post-launch follow-up
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?+
A chatbot answers. An agent acts: it queries your data, picks an action from those it is authorised to take, executes it in your systems and leaves a trace. It is that ability to write that changes the security requirements.
Where is our data hosted?+
Wherever your regulatory framework requires. This is settled at framing, before any design work, because the choice constrains the architecture — not the other way round.
Can an agent be connected to our core banking system or ERP?+
Yes, provided it exposes an API or an accessible database. It is the first thing examined during the assessment, because it weighs most on the lead time.
Does the agent understand Wolof?+
It is an explicit goal of our customer-service deployments, and specific work — not a checkbox. The language scope actually covered is settled at framing, use case by use case.
How long before going live?+
It depends on the scope, and we would rather not announce a lead time we have not yet measured on this kind of project. The schedule is settled at framing, once the first use case has been chosen.
Let’s talk about your process
A first conversation is enough to frame the need, the expected value and the next steps. If no use case justifies one, we will say so.
