Enterprise AI figured out a second business model: sell the platform, then rent out the humans who make it usable, by the hour.
Forward-deployed engineer is a good title. It also describes a line item that never ends. You buy the capability, then keep paying people to translate it into something your team can actually run.
@xpander_ai launches Omni today and goes straight at that. A built-in agent that builds, operates and optimises your other agents, on the same platform your team already uses.
Runs in your cloud or on-prem, any model, 2,000+ tools and MCP connectors, permissioned per user and audited on every action. The capability stays in-house.
