01
Agents that know your business
They read your live data — inventory, orders, jobs, finances — and answer your team in seconds, in whatever language they speak.
Built on the open Datone protocol
Give your business an agent layer — where your people and AI work as one team.
CYC Group builds human–agent coordination infrastructure for businesses. Role-specific AI agents that read your live data, answer your team in plain language, and always leave a human in charge — running in production today, on an open protocol you can never be locked out of.
In production today
Open protocol — no lock-in
Human holds every final decision
What we actually build for you
Not chatbots. A layer your business runs on.
CYC Group builds four things for your company — in plain terms, no acronyms.
02
One place work happens
People and agents share the same projects, timelines, and approvals. Nothing lives in someone's head or a lost spreadsheet.
03
Sync across companies
Your vendors, partners, and clients stay in sync by reference, so you never hand over control of your data.
04
You stay in charge
Agents draft, check, and propose. A human approves. Every irreversible action waits for a person. Always.
The discovery stack
First, be found by AI — GES, AEO, SEO.
Before agents can coordinate your work, your business has to be found, understood, and chosen by both people and AI systems. CYC builds three layers of visibility.
GESGenerative Engine Search
We make your business easy for AI chat engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — to find, trust, and cite. Structured context AI can parse.
semantic grounding · citation-ready content · entity graphs
AEOAI Engine Optimization
We structure your information so AI agents can extract, reason, and act on it — knowledge graphs, schema layers, machine-readable truth.
knowledge graph · schema.org · agent-readable pipelines
SEOSearch Engine Optimization
Classical search visibility, reimagined for an AI-augmented web. Technical excellence and content people and algorithms both love.
technical SEO · content strategy · structured data
Platform on an open protocol
Like email, not a walled garden.
CYC is to agent coordination what email is to messaging. There's an open coordination protocol (Datone) and a platform built on top of it. Anyone can read the protocol and build a compatible system themselves. Companies that don't want to build from scratch come here — and because the protocol is open, they are never locked in. Leave, self-host, or interoperate anytime.
Case study · on the floor
A warehouse manager, mid-shift.
No login, no training, no forms. A warehouse manager asks in the language they think in — and gets the real count back instantly, then reserves it against a job. This is a real session on the live system, not a concept.
// the same engine answers finance, logistics, and sales — each in its own domain
The agents we build
Domain experts, one per role.
Every company gets its own constellation of role-specific agents. Each one knows its tools, its limits, and its human counterpart. (Names below are illustrative.)
Logistics
Fred
Orchestrates supply flows — carriers, loads, schedules.
Finance
Warren
AR, invoices, risk, and value across the business.
Proposals
Jobs
Drafts and refines high-stakes proposals, pitch to close.
Strategy
Sun
Market foresight and pattern recognition across markets.
How you start — the bridge
Three stages, from AI-aware to AI-native.
This isn't a consulting deck you file away. It's infrastructure we build with you and keep running.
STAGE 01
Readiness audit
We map your workflows, data, and where AI actually pays off — and where it doesn't. You get a clear, costed picture before anyone builds.
You keep: the map + phased plan
STAGE 02
Structured foundation
We wire your data and first agents into one coordination layer — knowledge in place, roles defined, a human approval path on every write.
You keep: a working system
STAGE 03
Agent-native operations
Your agents run daily alongside your team, learn your patterns, and propose improvements. We monitor, tune, and add the next workflow.
You keep: agents your team runs
The network — the vision
Independent companies, one coordination layer.
The destination: independent companies — logistics, media, services — coordinate through CYC by reference, so resources and intelligence flow across boundaries without anyone handing over their data.
◇ Vision — we're building toward this, step by step
Live today
Agents + first cross-company reference
Role agents answer from live data with human approval — and the first real reference now links work across two independent companies. In production.
Building next
Cross-company handoff & approval
A task crossing companies — with a human on the receiving side approving before anything moves.
The vision
Full autonomous coordination
One approval, both companies in sync — the whole flow, hands-off.
The real bet
An open coordination protocol — like email, but for human–agent teams. Build on our platform, or build your own. Either way you interoperate. Either way you're never locked in.
Bring your business. We build the layer where human intent meets agent intelligence, where resources flow across companies, and where your data and agents stay yours. Open protocol underneath. No lock-in.
Questions & answers
Straight answers.
What is an agent layer?
An agent layer is the operational layer where your people and AI agents share context, track work, and coordinate decisions — across departments and companies. Not a chatbot bolted on; the place work actually happens. CYC Group builds it on the open Datone protocol.
How is GES different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for search engines like Google. GES (Generative Engine Search) optimizes for AI interfaces — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — so your business is cited, trusted, and surfaced in AI-generated answers.
What does AEO do for my business?
AEO (AI Engine Optimization) structures your data into knowledge graphs and machine-readable layers so AI agents can extract, reason, and act on your information — not just read it.
Can I leave after building with CYC Group?
Yes. The Datone protocol is open. You own your data, your agents, and your infrastructure. Build here, self-host later, or interoperate — your choice, anytime. No lock-in.
Will AI agents make decisions without a human?
No. Agents draft and propose; humans approve. Every irreversible action waits for a person. Human final authority is built into the protocol, not a setting.
Who is CYC Group for?
Operators of businesses roughly $5M–$100M in revenue who want a real agent layer — not just chatbots — coordinating work across their team and their partners.
