Loading.Most AI agencies sell you a way of working they've only demoed — on a greenfield, with a team that learned AI on someone else's budget. tsukumo is a developer studio that runs agent fleets in production to build its own products, and transitions your team to do the same, on your real stack. The category is noisy — nearly every shop now says "AI in production." The difference isn't the claim, it's whether they've shipped their own software that way.
Updated
| tsukumo | A generic AI agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Shipped their own AI products? | Yes — a public, runnable open suite (WRAI.TH, trovex, yoru) built by our own agent fleets | Usually no — services only; the proof is a deck |
| Production or demos | Real work on your real repo, measured, from early | Often POCs and pilots that stall before production |
| Your devs | Become the operators — augment, never replace | Often positioned as cost-reduction / headcount replacement |
| Scope | Narrow and deep: agent operations in production | Broad and shallow: "all AI", chatbots to CV to blockchain |
| What you're left with | An operating model your team runs without us | A dependency, a retainer, or a script and a goodbye |
| Proof | Public tools + qualitative client work, honest about numbers | Logos and metrics, sometimes borrowed or unverifiable |
If you need a one-off thing built — a single chatbot, a CV prototype, a quick integration — a generalist or freelancer is faster and cheaper than transitioning a team; don't hire an operating-model change for a script. If you don't have a dev team to augment, our model (your developers become the operators) has nothing to attach to. And if you want the cheapest possible "AI checkbox", we're not that, and we'll say so.
or have us build it — same capability, the other door
