How to deploy AI agents.

Six steps from "we should automate this" to a production agent your team relies on. This guide is the same playbook AstraGenie ships with every customer deployment.

The six steps

From scope to running in production.

1. Define the scope

Pick one outcome. "Reply to inbound support tickets in under 15 minutes." Specific, measurable, owned. Vague scope is the most common reason deployments stall.

2. Choose the team

Match the outcome to one of the six AstraGenie teams or compose a custom one. The team's specialists already cover the recurring shape of the work.

3. Configure

Brand voice, restricted topics, escalation thresholds, success criteria. Set once; the team applies them everywhere.

4. Connect integrations

OAuth or service accounts to your CRM, helpdesk, repos, content tools. The agent only sees what you give it access to.

5. Set triggers

Continuous, scheduled, or webhook-driven. The trigger decides when the agent runs and what kicks it off.

6. Monitor and iterate

Per-step traces, output samples, failure summaries. You read the first week's runs together with us and tune from there.

What "deployed" actually means

Production-grade from day one.

Hosted infrastructure

No model serving for you to operate. Inference, retries, rate limits, and failover are handled.

Audit logs

Every agent action logged with input, output, tool calls, and timing. Exportable.

Human checkpoints

Configurable approvals for high-impact actions. Adjust as trust grows.

Common pitfalls

What slows deployments down.

Vague goals, too many integrations on day one, no agreed success metric, and skipping the first-week review. We avoid all four by default. Read about the orchestration layer → or browse use cases →.
