Shabti LabsForward-deployed AI engineeringEst. 2026

AI where it pays.

We embed engineers in your operation, find the processes where AI returns the most for the least, and build it. Measured in hours and dollars, not demos.

Book the assessmentFixed scope. You keep the report.
  • Known tedium
  • Intake forms keyed twice
  • Invoice matching by hand
  • The month-end reconciliation
  • Vendor questionnaires
  • Claims triage
  • Copy-pasting between systems
  • Status emails nobody reads

Three ways to engage, in order of how much of it you want to own.

We build it.

Forward-deployed · Fixed scope · Handed over documented

Our engineers sit inside your operation, build the automation, and hand it over with documentation. Your staff runs it. Nobody has to call us to change a setting.

We build it with you.

Your team · Our engineers · One build

Your people build alongside ours. They finish the engagement able to maintain what we made together, and to make the next one without us.

We teach your team to build it.

Workshops · Hands-on · Per seat

A working session for the people who own your processes. They leave with a method, a working automation, and the judgment to know what's worth automating next.

What the report looks like.

Five candidates, ranked by return per week of build. Sample figures below; yours come from your own timesheets and volumes.

Every figure in your report is traceable to a named person, a volume, and a rate. If a candidate doesn't pay, it says so.

Assess, build, measure.

Three steps. Each one ends with something you can put a number on.

We assess.

Two weeks inside your operation. We watch how work actually moves, then rank the candidates by return: hours, dollars, cycle time. You get the report either way.

We build.

For you, with you, or by your people. Your call. Fitted to the tools you already run. No rip-and-replace, no new platform.

We measure.

Every automation ships with its before and after: hours, dollars, cycle time. If one didn't pay, you'll see that too.

“I shall do it, here I am.”

Ancient Egyptians were buried with shabtis: small inscribed figures that answered when work was called and did the labor on their owner's behalf. Their reply, from the Book of the Dead: “I shall do it, here I am.”

Four thousand years later, the tedium is different and the reply is the same.

Provenance

Built by cybersecurity and risk professionals. It will pass your audit.

Custody

Your data stays yours. Your systems stay yours. We document everything we build and hand it over.

Inspection

Nothing we deploy is a black box. You can read it, audit it, and turn it off.

Bring us your worst process.

Two weeks, fixed scope, one report you keep.
