A research-led studio for AI-native services

We research AI. We ship it. And we help you run it.

Services are what we sell, and the ones we sell are the ones we run. artifocial Foundry is the flagship: the agent-native operating system this company runs on every working day. We do the onboarding ourselves, shaped around how you work — for one person or a whole company. We use fast-moving AI and agent systems to build for people — with people setting the goals, limits, and final decisions, and we share the research behind the work so knowledge travels beyond our studio.

Architecture diagram of the stack artifocial runs itself on, labelled in the artwork as a diagram rather than a product screenshot. A human board holding approval gates, spend limits and kill switches sits above a control plane running on one machine we own. The control plane routes work to a CEO agent, department leads and two-critic review councils, which run on Claude Code and Hermes worker runtimes, read a git-backed company memory vault before acting, and call models through our own provider keys or open models on our own hardware.

Your company, agent-native. Ready for a guided walkthrough.

Foundry is the same stack we run internally: agent-native operations, on infrastructure you control, with a human board that keeps final decisions in human hands.

We run on it ourselves, daily
artifocial has operated agent-native on this stack every day since June 2026 — the company that builds Foundry is run by it. Our build-in-public record is the receipt.
The org we actually operate
Foundry is the packaged version of the organisation we run, not a reference architecture drawn on a whiteboard. It improves weekly, because we are the ones living with the rough edges.
One machine you control
Designed to run on a single machine you control. Your company memory, your issue history and your agents stay on hardware you own.
Your board keeps the final say
Approval gates, spend limits and kill switches are how our own governance works, so they are how Foundry ships. Agents propose; humans decide what leaves the building.

You are not buying a handy suite of tools. You are buying the suite plus the operating experience behind it — we run artifocial on this stack daily, hit its rough edges before you do, and do the onboarding ourselves. That is what the price pays for. Solo onboarding is $3,690, one-time; company onboarding is scoped to your team.

It is not a silver bullet, and it improves with the data you give it — the honest list of what Foundry is not is on the Foundry page.
