The Pilot-to-Production Gap

Most AI never leaves the pilot.

The model isn't the problem. The gap is everything around it: your data, your legacy systems, your security reviews, your customers' messy workflows. That gap is engineering work that has to happen on the ground. Forward Deployed Engineers were invented to close it.

Forward Deployed Engineering

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?

A software engineer who works where the problem lives. Pioneered by Palantir and now adopted by OpenAI and Anthropic, FDEs embed with the customer, write production code inside their systems, and stay until it runs. Consultants hand you a report. FDEs hand you a working system.

The Vitzi Deployment Method

From AI pilot to production in four steps: Discover, Embed, Ship, Hand off.

1

Discover (week 1)

We map the workflow, the data and the systems, and define what "in production" means with a metric.
2

Embed (week 1–2)

Your FDE joins your Slack, standups and customer calls.
3

Ship (weeks 2–8)

Integrations, agents, evals and guardrails are built and deployed in your infrastructure.
4

Hand off

Documentation, runbooks and training, so your team owns it — or we keep running it.

Three ways to work with us

From AI pilot to production

Engineers embedded in your business, in your timezone. Unlike consultancies, we deliver working systems, not reports. Unlike staff augmentation, we own the deployment outcome, not the hours.

Real systems we put into production.

Deployments, not placements. What was broken, who we put on the ground, and what shipped.

Our own product • Yatendi

We run AI agents in production every day. Our own.

Situation: Small businesses in Colombia buried in WhatsApp and Instagram messages. Bookings, orders, follow-ups, all handled by hand, all day.
What our engineer deployed: Lía, the agent behind our Yatendi platform. She answers, books appointments, takes orders, runs follow-ups, and hands off to a human when it matters.
Result in production: Live for real businesses today, end to end. Every edge case, every fix and every lesson goes straight into how we deploy for clients.
24/7
Lía answers around the clock. No queue, no office hours, a human when it matters.
Fintech • Series B

SOC2 or no deal. 45 days on the clock.

Situation: $5M ARR enterprise deal blocked on SOC2. Nobody on the team had been through an audit.
What our engineer deployed: A senior DevOps engineer who had passed SOC2 at three companies. Inside their repo and infrastructure by day 8, not on a slide deck.
Result in production: Audit-ready on day 38. Deal signed.
$5M
ARR deal saved in 6 weeks
SaaS • Series A

10K users locked out. Eight hours of failed fixes.

Situation: Queries timing out in production. Six fixes tried, none worked. CEO on the line.
What our engineer deployed: A senior backend engineer with 12 years of PostgreSQL, working directly in their production database.
Result in production: Root cause in 2 hours: a missing composite index. Fixed in 4. Users back in.
$2M
Churn prevented overnight
Healthtech • Series B

Six months into a microservices migration, the system was worse than the monolith.

Situation: $200K spent. Slower, buggier, and a CTO ready to walk.
What our engineer deployed: A principal architect who had shipped this exact migration four times. Threw out the plan, wrote a new one, and stayed to ship it.
Result in production: Done in 90 days with zero downtime. CTO stayed.
9 Months
Saved. CTO stayed. System stable.
Embedded, not outsourced

Forward deployed means being there. We're there in your timezone.

US business hours

Full US business-hour overlap.

Bilingual

Bilingual engineers who talk to your customers directly.

Senior-only

8+ years building production systems.

A fraction of the cost

A fraction of the cost of a $215K+ US FDE hire.

One FDE, one real workflow, two weeks. You get a working deliverable and a production plan. If it's not worth it, you get a full refund and keep the code.
