Built to run
Stuck in a pilot, sitting on AI tools nobody uses, or haven't started yet? I build the kind that survive production — your first AI agents live in your operation in 30 days. Built to last, not to demo. Guaranteed.
Whether your pilot stalled, your tools sit unused, or you haven't started — in 30 days I put your first agents live in your operation: embedded in the tools your team already uses, governed like workers, measured against one number. Then I add the next, and the next — until your team runs a handful in production, not slideware.
Not a chatbot on the side of someone's desk. Production agents — with evals on real cases, a human in the loop where mistakes cost, one owner, and a number on the board.
The model was never the hard part. These five things are the difference between an agent that survives production and one that gets quietly switched off.
The agent lives where the work already happens — inside the tool your team uses, not a separate app nobody opens.
Measured accuracy on your actual historical data before it ever touches a user. No toy prompts.
A person approves anything where a mistake is expensive. Governed like a worker, not provisioned like a script.
An hours-saved or error-rate number, and a champion who defends it at budget time. Not a science project.
One working agent beats a grand platform. Land it, prove it, then build the next — the engine compounds.
That's the whole game. The agents that last are built — not demoed. That's the craft Takumi Labs sells.
The 30-Day Production Sprint and the Agent-Ops that keeps it running. Into production, into the P&L — governed to survive.
Once the agents run, the deeper win: modern planning + AI forecasting that cuts stockouts and overstock at once.
I'm Jason Osajima, founder of Takumi Labs (LinkedIn ↗). I was VP of AI at Ashley Furniture — North America's largest furniture retailer ($12B, 800+ stores) — where I built their first agentic commerce platform and the AI roadmap behind it. Before that: Director of AI/ML at Southern Glazer's ($4B+ in sales), and ML engineering at HBO Max and Disney.
These shipped and moved real numbers — a next-best-action sales agent that lifted objective completion +48%, recommendation systems worth +4.9% watch rate on HBO Max. I've watched plenty of "AI initiatives" die in the demo too. Takumi Labs is the craft of building the kind that survive — for consumer & retail companies too busy for a science project and too lean for a Big-4 retainer.
A 15-minute call. I'll tell you the one agent worth building first, what it'd save, and whether it's worth doing at all. No pitch.
