About TenthMatrix

We build AI agents and generative AI applications for companies that outsource the work

Since 2000

Our story

From a tech talent business at Putney Bridge in 2000, through Workstation's hardware and software years, to TenthMatrix and AI agents today. See how we got here.

  1. What we do

    TenthMatrix designs, builds and runs AI agents and generative AI applications for clients. Teams hand us the project. We deliver working software in their repository, connected to their systems, with a person approving anything risky.

  2. Where we came from

    TenthMatrix was split out of Workstation, which builds GPU workstations and clusters. Workstation kept the hardware. TenthMatrix took the software: the agents, the tools they depend on and the applications around them.

  3. Products we run

    Ring Promoter, Proxy10x, WSL Vault, Jobshout, SysOps 24/7 and the Nebula family started as things our own agents needed in production. Client projects use them where they fit, and the client's existing tools where they don't.

  4. How we write

    We publish the engineering behind the work: architecture notes, the Jev benchmark series and write-ups of what failed. If you want to know how we would approach your project, the articles are a good place to start.

Values

  • Say what it won't do

    Every scope lists what the agent must never do, next to what it should.

    Agents draft and prepare. Sending, spending and deleting wait for a person.

    The work lives in your repository and your systems from the first commit.
