AI engineering studio

We build the agents,
and the tools to build them.

Shigar helps organisations own their AI. We build provider-agnostic agents and apps on our own Open-Source SDK and multi-agent platform, then hand you the keys. Less hype, more software that runs.

// what we ship

Two products. One job: make agents shippable.

The SDK for building a single agent well, and the platform for running a fleet of them in production. Both run on any model, so you're never locked in.

SDK · Async Rust

Kova SDK

An async-first Rust library for LLM agents: pluggable providers, tool calling, memory, streaming and multi-agent orchestration.

Agent platform · CLI, Web & API

Muaz

An agent platform in a single binary: chat, multi-agent pipelines and any model, from your terminal or a web UI and API.

// what we do

Consultancy that ships, not decks.

We help you build AI you actually own. Here's where we plug in.

Own your AI

Your models, your data, your code. We build so you hold the keys and never hand your roadmap to a single vendor.

Provider-agnostic agents

Agents and apps that run on any model. Swap OpenAI for Gemini, Bedrock or a local model without a rewrite.

Cost-tuned routing

Mix and match frontier, heavy and cheap open-source models per task, so you get the performance you need at the price you want.

Agent as config

Define agents, skills and multi-agent pipelines as plain config, not glue code. Version them, review them, change them in minutes.

End-to-end delivery

From first prototype to production, wired into the systems your team already runs. We build the whole thing, not a demo.

Prove value first

We don't just start building. A focused pilot shows the value is real before you commit to scaling it up.

// who we are

Make AI useful, and yours to keep.

The AI landscape shifts by the day. Most teams know it could help them but don't know where to start, where things are heading, or which bets are safe to make. That gap is where Shigar lives, so you don't have to keep up.

We're a small, senior team of engineers who turn that potential into software that actually runs: provider-agnostic agents, the tools to build them, and the consultancy to wire it all into your business. You own the result, from the models down to the code.

Shigar Ltd is registered in England (09699656) and based in Rickmansworth, just outside London.

We sweat the details

Shipping fast is easy. Shipping fast and right is the job. We hold the bar where it matters.

Straight talk

No jargon, no padding. If something won't work, you'll hear it from us early, not after the invoice.

Built by builders

Founded and staffed by engineers who've shipped real systems for real companies, at real scale.

Your outcome, our metric

We measure success by what your business does next, not by hours logged or features stuffed in.
// in good company

Trusted by teams that can't afford to get it wrong.

From regulators and universities to global manufacturers, we've shipped alongside organisations where the stakes are real.
