&above

&above is an AI product agency based in London, working with scale-ups and enterprises across the UK and beyond. Building AI capability in-house is the right instinct - most companies just underestimate the burden. Hiring is slow, managing specialist engineers pulls leaders from the day job, and internal builds often stall unmaintained. Meanwhile every team runs its own ChatGPT: knowledge leaves when people do, work gets duplicated, and nothing compounds.Our model removes the burden: we hire the AI engineers, we manage them, and they work embedded in your team. You build in-house capability without the hiring risk or the management load, and the capability transfers to your people as we go. We deliver through two tiers:

Forward-deployed engineers - senior AI engineers embedded in your team, shipping working systems inside your real workflows.

AI Product Squads - engineers plus product management and design, for AI-native products and agent systems that need the full build.

Every engagement starts small and reversible: a workshop to align teams and test what's possible, then a proof of concept, then the embedded squad - so you see working software before committing serious investment.

The proof is AI products people use daily: an agentic sales system used every day by 5,000 Google Cloud sellers; an embedded squad of 10 that ran for 2.5 years at Tesco and cut creative compliance reviews from four weeks to days; a Creative Intelligence agent turning Sage's fragmented campaign data into answers; and AI property valuations for Upstix, shipped in 7 days. We've supported partners through $3.25bn in funding rounds via product and design.

Whether you need an AI consultancy, an AI agent development partner, or an AI agency in London to turn scattered AI usage into an owned, compounding system, the first step is a no-commitment chemistry session with our leadership.
