Embed with the team
We sit in on the calls, queues and handoffs that eat the most time, and agree the number we are going to move.

forward deployed engineering
Forward deployed engineers for your AI rollout.
Our senior engineers embed with your team, learn how the work really happens, and build AI into the systems you already run. It’s the forward deployed engineering model, delivered as a service: no hiring cycle, no hand-offs, and a measured result at the end.

- Built in your stack
AI projects stall between the demo and the real work.
A pilot looks great in a slide. Then it meets a messy CRM, a shared inbox and a dozen exceptions nobody wrote down. Forward deployed engineers close that gap by working alongside the people who do the job.
That is how Streamline has always worked. The team that scopes your build is the team that ships it, inside your own tools, with a person approving what matters.
It also makes us a practical enterprise AI rollout partner: we build the first systems with you, train your people, and leave you able to extend them.
the fde model
What our forward deployed engineers do.
Build in your stack
We ship agents and workflows on Claude and n8n, connected to the CRM, inbox and systems you already pay for.
Measure the result
Every build is measured against the agreed number, so you know what changed and what to build next.
Enable your people
AI enablement is part of the job: training, documentation and simple ways for your team to request the next build.
ways to engage
Three ways to bring us in.
AI Assessment
We map how work moves across your teams, score every automation opportunity and hand you a sequenced roadmap.
Selling Time Sprint
AI transformation for sales teams: we roll out one package, measure it against an agreed number, train your people and hand it over.
Embedded team
Our engineers work as part of your team on a rolling basis, shipping and improving AI workflows across departments.

Read the case studyWhat is forward deployed engineering?
Forward deployed engineers work directly with the teams using the software. They learn the workflow first-hand, then build and adapt systems on site or alongside the team instead of from a distance.
How is an FDE agency different from a consultancy?
Consultancies often hand over a strategy deck. We hand over working systems in your stack, measured against a number we agreed before we started.
Why not hire our own AI engineers?
You may want to eventually. We get the first systems live now, without a long hiring cycle, and train your team so they can take over.
Which platforms do you build on?
Mainly Anthropic’s Claude and n8n, connected to your CRM, email, collaboration tools and line-of-business systems.
Where do engagements usually start?
With a 30-minute call. If the priorities aren’t clear yet, we usually recommend the three-week AI Assessment first.
Bring in engineers who build where the work happens.
Thirty minutes. We’ll find where your team loses the most time and tell you straight how we’d embed to fix it.
