01The founder
Background
What David does on every engagement
You work with the person who builds your agent, from the first call to the handover. The four steps below match the ones described on how we work.
01Day 0
Runs the first call
The free 30 minute call is with David, the engineer who would build your agent. You do not speak to a salesperson first.
02Within 2 business days
Reads every brief and writes the quote
He writes the scope, the timeline, the fixed price and what you will own. The person who prices the work is the one who delivers it.
03Build
Leads the build and the weekly demos
He designs the architecture, integrations and guardrails, and shows you the agent working on your data each week before it acts on its own.
04Launch
Runs the handover
He takes the person who will own the agent through the runbook, the monitoring and alerts, and the credentials, which are all in your name.

What the studio does
- 01Done-for-you AI agentsWe set up agents on Qoren and hand them over working.
- 02Custom AI agent developmentAgents built on your own cloud or the stack you already use.
- 03Support and maintenanceMonitoring, fixes and updates for agents already in production.
- 04AI consulting and auditA ranked list of what to automate, and what it would cost.
Why we build Qoren
An agent needs hosting, monitoring and limits to keep working after launch. Qoren hosts OpenClaw, Hermes and Codex agents around the clock in dedicated environments, with job-ready templates and spend caps, from $39 a month. Running it every day is where the safeguards in every client deployment come from.
Where we work
The studio is based in Portugal and works remotely with small and mid-sized teams in Europe and the US.
03Principles
Five working rules
01
Start from the job
We start from what your business needs done, such as answering new leads or cutting manual data entry, and then choose the agent and the tools.
02
Say when it will not pay off
If an agent will not pay off for you, we say so on the first call. Sometimes the right answer is a smaller change than you expected.
03
The simplest setup that works
We recommend the simplest setup that does the job. That might be one agent on Qoren, a small automation or a change to how the work is done.
04
Commitments in writing
The scope and the fixed price are in the quote, which arrives within 2 business days. Response times are in the maintenance contract, and every handover includes a written runbook.
05
You own everything
Accounts are created in your name, the code goes into your repository, and the data stays in your systems or your own Qoren account. You can move it in house or to another provider at any time.

What is the relationship between Magentic Studio and Qoren?
Magentic Studio builds and runs Qoren, the managed platform for OpenClaw, Hermes and Codex agents, from $39 a month. Our done-for-you deployments run on it. When Qoren fits the job we recommend it and tell you it is ours. When it does not fit, we build on your own stack. No vendor pays us.
