The Problem

Production Is Where Agents Quietly Lose Value

Models change, costs creep and agents multiply. Without an owner, quality slips and the return disappears.

The problem40%

of enterprises will demote or decommission production agents after incidents expose governance gaps.

How we fix it

We monitor quality, policy events and drift against service levels you agree.

What We Do

Production Is Where the Work Starts

Models change, data drifts and volumes grow. We keep agents accurate, safe and within budget, and we show you what they are worth.

Monitoring and Incident Response

Latency, errors, quality and policy events watched against SLOs, with alerts and a named responder.

Quality and Drift Review

A monthly sample graded with your experts, so drift is caught before users notice.

Model and Version Upgrades

New models and versions tested on your cases and rolled out only when they pass.

Cost and Usage Tuning

Routing, caching and model choices tuned to cut cost without losing quality.

Changes and Small Enhancements

New rules, sources and prompts handled as tickets, tested and released through your gates.

Monthly Value Reporting

Runs, hours saved, cycle time, quality and cost, by team and use case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ThinkTrends Managed Agent Operations.

What is managed agent operations?

+

Managed agent operations is an ongoing service in which ThinkTrends monitors, maintains and improves AI agents in production, including incident response, quality reviews, model upgrades, cost tuning and monthly value reporting, under service levels you agree.

What does it cost to run AI agents in production?

+

The running cost of AI agents comes from model usage, infrastructure and the people who monitor, review and fix them. ThinkTrends Managed Agent Operations is a monthly subscription that covers the people, and tunes routing, caching and model choice to lower usage cost without losing quality. Cost is reported every month by team and use case.

How do you handle model upgrades?

+

Every new model or version runs on your graded test set first. It rolls out only if it passes your thresholds, and the previous version stays ready for rollback.

Can you operate agents in GovCloud or air-gapped environments?

+

Yes. Our engineers work inside your environment under the roles you grant, including AWS GovCloud, on-premises and air-gapped networks, subject to your personnel security requirements.

What does the monthly report include?

+

Runs, hours saved, cycle time, quality scores, policy events, incidents and cost, by team and use case, compared with your baseline.

Can we bring agents we already run into managed operations?

+

Yes, once they run on ThinkStack. We onboard them in the first two weeks, add test sets where they are missing, and set service levels with you.
