## About this market
Agents are the category where a startup buyer is most exposed, because the demo is cheap and the operating cost only appears later. Read the documented work here with that in mind. Modulai's record is enterprise-shaped—a multi-agent retrieval system for Novo Nordisk pulling clinical-trial evidence, and a custom LLM agent embedded inside Optilogic's supply-chain platform to give natural-language access to the data underneath—both built for companies well past startup scale. Vstorm's is the one running at consumer volume: Mixam's multi-agent order advisor is live at 10,000-plus daily users and roughly 100,000 orders a month, with conversion to a paid order moving from about 20% to about 40%. AI Pirates built CineCockpit end to end as a six-agent content intelligence platform over 30,000-plus films from 15 EU markets, hosted in Germany, and described it as pre-launch at the time of review. Yield Studio publishes an agent stack running to GPT, Claude and Mistral over PyTorch and scikit-learn, against one documented AI module in active use. Softblues' eight-agent voice line for Roof Maker is live, answering every call around the clock and writing HubSpot tickets, and the firm labels each flagship study with the stage it actually reached. Several of the larger engineering firms on this page list agents as a service with no named agent deployment published behind it—ask them for one before comparing rates.

Two questions do most of the work at this scale. What can the agent not do—the permission boundary is the design, and a team that has run one in production answers with specifics rather than reassurance. And what does it cost per run at your expected volume, because agent loops multiply token spend in a way single-call features do not, and a startup finds that out on the invoice. Ask any candidate here for the smallest agent they have shipped and what a quarter of operating it cost.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with startup on ai agents?
12 agencies in our directory combine verified startup client evidence with documented AI Agents work. The current top-ranked are Pixelette Technologies, Modulai, Vention — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.

### How much does an AI agency cost for ai agents?
Published rates across this page's agencies run €20–130 per hour (median ~€65). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.

### How is startup experience verified on this page?
Each listed agency has at least two documented, named startup clients — published case studies or engagement descriptions our research actually read, with source URLs stored per client. Logo walls without published evidence carry no weight, which is what separates this list from self-declared directories.

### Can these agencies embed consultants with our team?
5 of the agencies on this page document an embedded / team-extension working model. See the team-extension page for the full verified list, or check the engagement chips on individual profiles.
