## AI-generated summary

The page outlines Duale AI’s production runtime for AI agent portfolios, tackling isolated pilots and integration costs with reusable routing, event handling, and model‑replaceability. It lists benefits for business owners, IT leaders, and security teams, and notes a cost‑per‑reliable‑result pricing model.

- Highlights that many AI agent pilots remain prototypes because production path is unclear, incurring integration, repair, and governance costs beyond model spend.
- Introduces Duale AI’s shared production layer offering reusable runtime capabilities such as routing policies, event handling, recovery context, and cost signals.
- Describes that the runtime allows models to be swapped without rewriting agents, preserving stable contracts when providers, clouds, or compliance rules change.
- Lists benefits for business owners (workflow ownership), IT leaders (single platform across clouds), and security/audit (runtime‑recorded controls and data movement for review).
- Explains Duale AI’s pricing focuses on runtime work (orchestration, retries, policy checks, recovery) and measures ROI as cost per reliable result versus manual effort.

## Business questions

### How should leaders compare Duale AI cost to model spend

Model inference stays on the provider invoice you already pay. Duale AI prices the runtime work that makes agents
operable: orchestration, retries where implemented, policy checks, recovery paths, and evidence recorded for review.
Compare the cost of reliable work across the portfolio, not the price of a model call.

### What does one production runtime change at portfolio level

Each new agent stops rebuilding orchestration, retries, provider routing, and review evidence from scratch. The
portfolio runs on one reusable runtime, so the second and fifth agents inherit the production path the first one paid
for.

### Who owns the business workflow after it becomes an agent

The business sponsor keeps the workflow and decision gates. The platform team operates the runtime. Reviewers see the
same evidence the runtime records. The agent moves into production without moving accountability.

### Why keep model providers replaceable

Make models replaceable and agents durable. Capability leaders shift, prices move, compliance and data-residency rules
tighten by region, and geopolitical access to a given provider is not guaranteed. The runtime mediates model selection
across the configured pool through routing policy, so a provider, region, or model can be swapped at the policy layer
without rewriting the agents that depend on them. Models can change; production contracts must not.

### How do leaders measure return on a production agent

Anchor on the cost of a reliable result against the manual cost of the same work, rework included. Duale AI records
evidence per agent run so the workflow owner can review what the agent did and decide to scale, refine, or stop.
Portfolio-level dashboards stay scoped to current integrations; broad reviewability remains a design-partner
decision gate, not a guaranteed return.
