Enterprise AI consulting & engineering
Determinant Systems designs and builds systems that run on your data — AI agents, applications, LLM-powered workflows, retrieval, enterprise search, and knowledge graphs.
We build the layer between AI models and your business.
Determinant Systems is an engineering firm. We integrate AI into the systems you already run — document stores, databases, CRMs, ticketing — as well as build new software from scratch, and build the retrieval, search, and knowledge layers that make its answers worth trusting.
AI Agents
Digital teammates that take a task and drive it to done — inside your rules.
App Factory
Describe the tool your team needs; get real, deployed software.
LLM-Powered Workflows
AI that executes a business process step by step, with checks along the way.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Answers written from your documents, with citations you can open.
Enterprise Search
One search across every place your company keeps information.
Knowledge Graphs
Your documents, distilled into a network of facts you can query.
Agents that do real work.
Give an agent a job — invoice matching, contract intake, customer follow-up — and put it to work on email, Slack, SMS, web chat, or live voice. Your policies decide what it may do. Every step is on the record.
- Deployed on any channel One agent across email, Slack, Teams, SMS, WhatsApp, and voice.
- Policies enforced by the platform Budgets, allowed actions, approval gates — not trust in the model.
- Auditable end to end Every run shows what the agent read, what it did, and who signed off.
Build the software you actually need.
The intake tracker. The approvals dashboard. The tool that lives in a spreadsheet because nobody will ever build it. Describe it, and LACE builds it and puts it live — sign-in, database, permissions, and a URL your team opens.
- Live in minutes From description to a working URL — no project, no backlog.
- Real software Authentication, roles, versioned releases, one-click rollback.
- Changes as fast as you do Describe the change and redeploy — or hand the code to your developers.
LLM-powered workflows, wired into the systems you already use.
We build AI that executes a business process step by step, with checks along the way. It reads emails, extracts information from documents, updates records in your CRM, and writes replies — all while respecting the rules you set.
- Connects to what you run today CRMs, ticketing, email, file stores, and internal databases.
- Human approval where it matters You decide which steps need sign-off before anything moves.
- Full audit trail of every run See what came in, what the AI did, and who approved what.
Connects with the tools you already use
Answers from your documents, not from the model's memory.
On its own, a language model answers from whatever it absorbed during training — which is why it sounds confident about things it can't possibly know, like your contracts. Retrieval-augmented generation fixes that: the system finds the relevant passages in your documents first, then writes the answer from what it found.
We build the version of this that survives real documents. Tables stay tables. Sections keep their context. A numeric question is answered from the actual figure in the actual table — and the citation takes you straight to it.
- Citations you can open Every claim links back to the page it came from.
- State-of-the-art vision models Understands complex visuals, tables, charts in your documents.
- “I don't know” is an answer When the sources don't support a claim, the system says so.
One search across everything your company knows.
The answer usually exists. It's in SharePoint, or a shared drive, or a wiki, or a database someone set up in 2019. The problem isn't that your company lacks information — it's that nobody can find it.
We build search that spans those sources in a single query, understands what you mean rather than just matching keywords, and respects permissions — people only ever see results they're allowed to see.
- All your sources, one query Email, Messaging, SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, databases, and more.
- Meaning, not just keywords “Multi-modal search understands” your question, even if it doesn't match the words in the documents.
- Permissions carry through Access rules from the source systems are enforced on every result.
Turn a pile of documents into a map of facts.
Search finds documents. A knowledge graph finds what's inside them: the companies, people, contracts, dates, and amounts — and how they connect. Which agreements renew this quarter? Which vendors touch customer data? Questions that used to mean a week of reading become a query.
- Built from your documents Extracted automatically, reviewed by people where it counts.
- Every fact has a source Click through from any fact to the exact sentence behind it.
- Unify your data sources, dataases, and documents into one graph Conflicting information is flagged, never silently resolved.
Everything above runs on LACE.
LACE is the enterprise AI platform we built to deliver this work. Build and deploy agents, webpages, and full applications that run on your data, inside your rules.
LACE takes all the manual work out of building and deploying software. It handles the cloud infrastructure, scaling, security, and lets you build useful tools in minutes.
Workflows
Define a process once, then run it as a governed pipeline — typed steps, checkpoints, and a full history of every run.
Agents
AI assistants and full applications that operate on your data, inside your rules, and with the same permissions as everyone else.
Knowledge
Connect document stores and databases; get retrieval, enterprise search, and knowledge graphs over all of it.
Apps
Build real software with a visual editor, then deploy it to the cloud or on-premise with one click.
LACE Assistant
A copilot that operates the platform on your behalf, through the same permissions as everyone else.
Policy-governed
Budgets, data access, model usage, and approval rules are enforced by the platform — not by trusting the AI.
Traceable
Every output links back to its sources and to the steps that produced it. Auditors get answers, not shrugs.
Human in the loop
Review gates go wherever a decision is too important to automate. Nothing ships without the sign-offs you require.
Ready to put LACE to work on your data?
Your first build is free.
We prove it on your own work before you commit to anything.
-
We build it Free
Pick one process your team does by hand. We build a working app, workflow, or agent for it — at no cost to you.
-
You watch it work
Run it on real work and judge the real output. If it isn't useful, it hasn't cost you anything.
-
We plan the full implementation
Once it's proven, we scope the rollout together — integrations, deployment from cloud to on-premise, and what to automate next.
Let's talk.
Tell us about the process — we'll show you what it looks like as a system. And if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
