Phase One: Reaching Human-Level Performance
The systematic implementation process to quickly establish reliable, human-comparable AI agents
Phase One of the Amigo journey focuses on rapidly establishing a well-structured, context-rich AI agent system that delivers reliable, human-comparable performance. This phase follows a rigorous multi-week implementation methodology that transforms your enterprise expertise into production-ready AI agents.
Stage 1: DEFINE - Map the Problem Space
Timeframe: Weeks 1-2
The first stage establishes the foundation for your entire implementation by systematically mapping your problem space and defining the service scope.
Key Activities
Expert Interviews: Amigo Forward Deployment Engineers conduct structured interviews with your domain experts to capture reasoning patterns, service delivery mechanisms, and critical decision points
Service Scope Definition: Onboarding workshop to define the specific service experiences to be implemented (e.g., initial consultations, ongoing support, proactive outreach)
Problem Space Mapping: Comprehensive analysis to identify:
High-density areas requiring strict protocols (red-lining)
Medium-density areas with balanced guidance and flexibility
Low-density areas allowing intuitive exploration
Context Density Planning: Design of a topological field that balances structure and flexibility based on your unique requirements
Outputs
Problem Space Map: Visual representation of your complete problem domain
Red-lining Boundaries: Clear definition of areas requiring strict protocols or human escalation
Context Graph Topology: Initial design of your agent's navigation framework
Service Scope Document: Comprehensive documentation of included service experiences
Example: Healthcare Implementation
For a healthcare organization implementing a weight management agent, this stage would include:
Stage 2: BUILD - Implement Your Agent & Context Graph
Timeframe: Weeks 2-4
The second stage transforms your problem space map into a fully implemented agent with all necessary components for effective operation.
Key Activities
Static Persona Development: Collaborative creation of your agent's identity and background layers
Global Directive Establishment: Definition of behavioral rules and communication standards
Dynamic Behavior Design: Creation of context-specific behaviors that prime the agent's latent space
Knowledge Integration: Implementation of your domain knowledge through latent space activation
Memory System Configuration: Setup of your custom memory system with properly structured user model dimensions

Outputs
Complete Agent Implementation: Fully functional agent with all components (including static persona & global directives)
Dynamic Behaviors: Initial set of contextual behaviors for key scenarios
Memory System: Custom user model with defined dimensions
Context Graph: Implemented navigation framework for your problem space
Example: Financial Advisory Implementation
For a financial services organization implementing an advisory agent, this stage would include:
Stage 3: MEASURE - Establish Metrics & Testing Framework
Timeframe: Weeks 4-6
The third stage creates the quantitative foundation for measuring and validating your agent's performance.
Key Activities
Metric Definition: Collaborative workshops to define enterprise-specific metrics that quantify successful performance
Unit Test Development: Creation of comprehensive tests for all red-lining areas
Simulation Persona Creation: Development of realistic user personas that represent your actual user base
Test Scenario Implementation: Design of metrics-driven test scenarios across the problem space
Baseline Establishment: Initial measurements to serve as benchmarks for improvement
Monitoring Configuration: Setup of continuous monitoring infrastructure
Outputs
Metrics Framework: Comprehensive documentation of all performance metrics
Unit Test Suite: Complete set of tests for all critical functions
Simulation Personas: Detailed fictional users for testing scenarios
Test Scenarios: Comprehensive coverage of your problem space
Performance Dashboard: Initial configuration with baseline measurements
Monitoring Infrastructure: Systems for ongoing performance tracking
Example: Educational Implementation
For an educational organization implementing a tutoring agent, this stage would include:
Stage 4: VALIDATE - Systematic Performance Verification
Timeframe: Weeks 6-8
The fourth stage rigorously tests your agent across thousands of simulations to verify performance and identify improvement opportunities.
Key Activities
Simulation Execution: Running thousands of automated tests across the defined problem space
Metric Application: Systematic measurement of performance against enterprise-specific metrics
Capability Mapping: Generation of heat maps highlighting areas of strength and improvement
Gap Identification: Precise location of true capability gaps requiring reinforcement learning
Red-line Verification: Comprehensive testing of all safety protocols
Dynamic Behavior Refinement: Fine-tuning based on simulation results
Outputs
Performance Analysis: Comprehensive evaluation of agent capabilities
Capability Heat Map: Visual representation of performance across the problem space
Gap Analysis: Documentation of identified improvement opportunities
Red-line Compliance Report: Verification of safety protocol effectiveness
Behavior Optimization Report: Recommended refinements to dynamic behaviors
Improvement Roadmap: Prioritized plan for ongoing enhancement
Example: Customer Support Implementation
For a retail organization implementing a customer support agent, this stage would include:
Stage 5: DEPLOY - Launch Your Agent
Timeframe: Week 8 Onwards
The final stage of Phase One transitions your agent from development to production, establishing the operational foundation for ongoing improvement.
Key Activities
Production Integration: Implementation of your agent into your production environment
Monitoring Activation: Enablement of real-world performance tracking
Alert Configuration: Setup of notification protocols for performance deviations
Hand-off Implementation: Configuration of seamless human escalation capabilities
Documentation Finalization: Completion of all operational documentation
Team Training: Instruction for internal teams on agent management
Output
Production-Ready Agent: Fully deployed agent in your environment
Monitoring Dashboard: Live performance tracking system
Alert Protocols: Configured notification systems
Hand-off Mechanisms: Implemented escalation capabilities
Operational Documentation: Complete reference materials
Trained Teams: Staff prepared for agent management
Example: Legal Implementation
For a legal organization implementing a contract review agent, this stage would include:
Transition to Phase Two
Upon successful completion of Phase One, your organization will have:
A production-ready agent delivering human-comparable performance
Comprehensive metrics and monitoring infrastructure
Clear documentation of capability boundaries and improvement opportunities
Trained teams for ongoing management and enhancement
This foundation sets the stage for Phase Two, where we focus on transitioning from human-level to superhuman performance through reinforcement learning and capability expansion.
