Marco Schwartz.
The builder behind the work.

The Agent Builders is led by Marco Schwartz, an entrepreneur with a background in software and electronics, and the creator of Apteva, the open-source AI agent platform.

Marco builds the technology behind Apteva as well as the workflows that put it to work. His focus is on agents that can carry out recurring tasks across business tools, with clear limits and a person involved when judgment is needed.

The Agent Builders brings that experience to smaller businesses. The aim is a personal, straightforward service: understand your day, agree a clear scope and price, and help your team use what we build.

Our approach is simple.

Listen carefully.
Explain plainly.
Build thoughtfully.
Finish the job.

Expertise should make
things feel easier.

You shouldn’t have to learn a new technical vocabulary to improve your business. We start with your everyday work and explain the options in terms you can use.

You work directly with the people building your system. We keep the scope clear, bring you into the important decisions, and give your team a useful handover.

Ownership & transparency

Built for your business.
Handed over to you.

A good system should be understandable, maintainable, and useful beyond the day it launches.

Documented, not mysterious.

You get the delivered code and workflows, clear documentation, and training on how to use them.

Clear about dependencies.

We explain which tools, licences and subscriptions the system relies on, and who controls each account.

Open-source where it fits.

We use open-source foundations, including Apteva, when appropriate. Third-party services keep their own terms.

Our technical foundation

A little about Apteva.

Apteva provides an open-source foundation for building AI agents and connected applications. It supports the way we work: visible systems, ownership, and sensible connections between tools.

We choose the right tools for each project, explain the running costs, and look for opportunities to simplify work and reduce avoidable overhead.
