# Forward Deployed Engineers who ship AI agents into your systems.

Our AI engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) embed with your team, learn how the work actually gets done and build AI agents that run in production.

## What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works embedded with a client’s team instead of from a distance. At Prost, FDEs work with the people who own each process, connect AI agents to the systems your company already uses and stay through rollout.

01

### Inside your team

Your channels, your hours, your tools.

Your FDE joins your team’s meetings and talks directly to the people doing the work, in English or Spanish.

02

### Inside your systems

AI agents connect to what you already run.

We integrate with your CRM, ERP, ticketing, email and internal tools, under the access and data rules your team sets.

03

### Through production

We stay until it works.

FDEs take each system to production, watch its evaluations and costs, and hand over documentation your team can own.

FDEs work alongside our AI engineers, who build the AI agents, evaluations and control plane behind each system.

## AI engineers and FDEs, one team

Every project pairs AI engineers with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs). AI engineers design and build the AI agents; FDEs make sure they fit the way your company works. You talk to senior engineers from scoping to handover.

**How we work:** Scoping, proof of concept, production rollout and ongoing support. [See how we work →](https://prostlabs.com/#how-we-work)

## FAQ

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works embedded with your team rather than at a distance: they learn how your processes really run, connect AI agents to your systems and stay through the production rollout. At Prost, FDEs work alongside our AI engineers on every project.

Who actually works on my project?

We’re AI engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who work inside your team. We’ve shipped production systems in legacy-heavy companies and in teams just starting with AI, so we know when to ship and when to iterate.
