What exactly does Islands do?

We build custom AI agents, run them as managed services, and maintain them over time. We're not a software tool or a consulting firm. We're an AI execution team that gets things deployed and keeps them running.

How is this different from hiring a consultant?

Consultants give you a recommendation. Tools give you software. We give you a running system, built on your stack, trained on your data, operated month over month. We own the outcome, not just the deliverable.

What types of agents do you build?

Lead scraping, proposal generation, candidate screening, CRM automation, inbox triage, support routing, content workflows, QA automation, client reporting, and multi-agent pipelines for complex end-to-end processes.

How long does deployment take?

Most agents are live within weeks of kickoff. Complex multi-agent systems or those requiring significant data prep may take longer. We scope it honestly before we start.

Do you maintain agents after deployment?

Yes, and that's the differentiator. Most agencies build and leave. We offer ongoing retainers that include monitoring, prompt tuning, model updates, and performance reviews.

Can you integrate with our existing tools?

Yes. We connect with whatever your team already uses: Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, Databox, Linear, GitHub, and more. If it has an API, we build the integration.

Who do you typically work with?

Funded and bootstrapped startups, digital agencies, SaaS companies, and ecommerce brands. If you have repeatable work that's slowing your team down, we're a fit.

Trusted by funded and bootstrapped startups.
