An agency that has shipped the thing it sells
Lurto builds and runs AI systems for US and UK companies, from voice agents to document and reporting pipelines, on one stack.
Lurto is an AI automation agency with a specific opinion: most AI sold to businesses today does not survive contact with production, because demos are easy and systems that keep working after an API change, a model update, or a renamed CRM field are not.
Six systems run today. One of them is an AI receptionist answering a real phone line on real telephony with real CRM integrations behind it, shipping against an eval harness that places test calls and scores the transcript before anything reaches a customer. All six are written up on the work page, built on the same stack to the same standard.
The oldest of them is a document generator for a hydrogeology firm. It has been drafting the firm's regulatory document sets from its own borehole records, day after day, for long enough that the client came back for a second system. That is the whole pitch, because a demo of it would have looked identical on day one.
Most of the work is taking a job somebody does by hand and putting it into production. Some of it is repair. Half of the rescues we have scoped started the same way: the person who built it was gone, and every account was still in the builder's name. That experience is why the handover terms on this site are specific to the point of being boring.
The business model is deliberately simple: fixed published prices, a free first consultation that ends in a written proposal, and a monthly care report that shows you the numbers. No hourly billing, because hourly billing pays us more for being slow and nothing for being clever.

What you will not get here
Unlimited capacity, mainly. We take a small number of builds at a time, so the engineer who scoped a system can stay on it from the first reply through the care plan. There are weeks when the honest answer to a new project is a start date six weeks out, and you will get that answer in the first reply rather than after a deposit.
You will also not get a junior learning on your invoice, or a pitch when the fit is wrong. If what you are buying needs a different kind of firm, we will say so and name one.
A written answer and a price at the end of it
Send what is broken or what should stop being manual. You get a straight answer and a number, whether or not we work together.
