Let's get started
/Our Approach

Our team is your team

We solve the most difficult problems in the most complex technical systems. We practice extreme collaboration with each other, embedding ourselves within our client’s teams to build solutions that adapt and scale. We listen, we question, we deliver continuously, and we share our knowledge to craft better software.

/Our Values

We’re trusted advisors, technical experts, and people you want to work with

Our values guide our work and our relationships, and they’re the foundation for envisioning and building great things.

Careers at Focused

We believe in becoming the best at what we do, which means finding the best answers to the hardest problems—not the expected ones.

Listen first

Every decision we make is informed by deep listening. We hear every perspective, and we keep listening to find the right solution.

Learn why

We keep digging, keep asking questions, and learn new skills continuously to make ourselves and our team better.

/Our Expertise

What we do

Explore all capabilities

Reliable RAG

We build RAG that works in production, not just demos. From vector stores to evaluation, we ensure your AI finds the right information every time.

Custom software development

We build custom software that integrates seamlessly with your full tech stack. From apps to APIs, every solution we build is designed to work within your existing infrastructure.

Custom Agents

We build custom AI agents that integrate with your CRM, ERP, databases, and legacy systems, delivering real value without replacing what already works.

Eval Driven Development

Evals are the difference between prototype and production. Every Focused built agent starts with Evals, ensuring that your agent does what it’s supposed to and nothing else.
