Design partners

2026 cohort: 2 slots

Shape the platform with us.

The 2026 cohort is capped at two design partners. Each partner gets a named engineering counterpart, direct input into the roadmap, and a co-developed evidence bundle their governance team can sign off. In return, we ask for honest feedback and a willingness to share what works.

Year 1 pricing is £225,000 (£125,000 Tier B licence + £100,000 Specialisation Kickstart). Year 2 reverts to Tier B list. Full structure and worked example on the pricing page.

What you get

More than early access.

Design partner engagements are not beta programmes. They are co-development relationships. We invest in your deployment because your real-world feedback shapes what the platform becomes.

Early access to Modelsmith
Access the platform before general availability. Your use case will be the first real-world test of the iterate loop and promotion state machine against production-scale workflows.
Dedicated implementation support
A named implementation engineer from Agentsia works alongside your team through the first training campaign. You are not handed documentation and left to figure it out.
The Synthetic POC, credited in full
Start with a paid £25,000 Synthetic POC to see the platform working on your domain before you sign a Year 1 contract. The fee is credited in full against your Year 1 licence if you convert within 60 days.
Direct input into the roadmap
Design partners attend a monthly roadmap review and vote on which capabilities ship in the next quarter. If your workflow needs something that does not exist yet, that is the forum to surface it.
A co-developed evidence bundle
The output of the first campaign is yours to use for internal governance, regulatory approval, or vendor evaluation. We help you frame it for whatever audience needs to sign off the model.
Published design-partner pricing
Year 1 is £225,000 total: a £125,000 Tier B licence plus the £100,000 Specialisation Kickstart (all five Professional Services phases, saving £55,000 versus à la carte). Payment is 50% on signature and 50% on Kickstart milestone. Year 2 reverts to Tier B list.

Apply

Apply for the design-partner cohort.

We review every application and reply within three business days. There is no obligation after applying; the next step is a 30-minute scoping call to see whether the fit is right.

We are looking for teams with a well-defined domain workflow, a subject-matter expert who can review training scenarios, and a willingness to share honest feedback about what does and does not work.

Hardware is not a requirement to apply. We can work on a temporary reference configuration during the Synthetic POC while your procurement runs in parallel.

Describe the task you want a specialist model to handle. What does the agent or system currently do, and what would better look like?

How will you know the specialist model is working? What metrics, benchmarks, or human-review processes will you use to validate it?
