AI agents and data foundations · Built in Bangladesh

AI agents that do the work.
And prove every answer.

Codemen builds AI agents for operations, sales and support on rules first and models second — so answers are checked, model bills stay small, and your data stays in Bangladesh.

Why AI pilots stall

Most AI projects stop at the same four walls.

The demo works. Then Risk asks how it got the answer, Finance sees the bill, IT asks where the data went, and nobody can switch providers. We start from those questions.

See how we design these out
  • Answers nobody can check. A model that is right 90% of the time is wrong on one invoice in ten — and you don’t know which one.

  • Bills in dollars that keep growing. Every task sent to a model is paid for, even the ones a simple rule could decide.

  • Data leaving the country. Customer and financial records sent abroad for processing, with no clear answer for the regulator.

  • Locked to one vendor. Your knowledge trapped inside one model or one cloud, and a rebuild every time you want to move.

The Codemen way

Four decisions that make AI safe to switch on.

Most AI pilots stall on wrong answers, dollar bills, data leaving the country and lock-in. We design those problems out before the first agent goes live.

Deterministic first

Rules decide what can be proven. The model does the rest.

Arithmetic, lookups and named checks run first. A model is called only where judgment is needed — often just to pick from a shortlist. Anything unproven goes to a person, never quietly through.

Sovereign by design

Your data stays in Bangladesh. You decide what leaves.

Apps, agents, databases, memory, files and backups run where you choose — live today in Dhaka on Pico Public Cloud’s Tier-III data centre. Residency is set per workload, and outside model services stay off unless your policy allows them.

Own the memory

Own the memory. Rent the intelligence.

What your organisation knows — policies, decisions, customers, past cases — lives in Lore, kept apart from the model. Change models without losing it, and always see which decision replaced which.

Free from lock-in

Change your cloud. Keep your way of working.

Groundfloor runs on a private cloud, a hyperscaler or a regional provider. Code, databases and data can move — a migration you plan, not a rebuild you fund. And each new app skips weeks of platform plumbing.

Groundfloor-reported results; not guarantees.

How it starts

Small first. Proven before it grows.

No year-long programme. One process, live in weeks, measured against how your team does it today.

  1. Week 1

    Pick one process

    We sit with the team that owns it, map the rules that already exist and agree what “done” means. You see a working prototype on your own documents.

  2. Weeks 2–3

    Run it alongside your team

    The agent works in parallel with people. Every decision is shown with its evidence, and anything it can’t prove goes to a named person.

  3. From then on

    Hand over, then add the next one

    Your team runs it on Groundfloor, in Bangladesh or wherever you choose. The memory it built stays yours when the next process joins.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Something else? Ask an architect

What does “deterministic first” actually mean?
Anything that can be checked with arithmetic, a lookup or a named rule is decided that way. A language model is used only where judgment is needed, and often only to choose from a shortlist. If nothing can prove an answer, it goes to a person. That is why model bills stay small and wrong answers don’t slip through.
Can our data stay in Bangladesh?
Yes. Groundfloor runs live in Dhaka on Pico Public Cloud’s Tier-III data centre. Apps, agents, databases, memory, files and backups can all stay in the country. Outside model services stay off unless your policy allows them.
Which AI models do you use?
Whichever fits the job and your policy — Claude, GPT, Gemini or an open model running in Dhaka. Because your organisation’s memory is kept apart from the model, you can change models without losing what the system knows. See AI Subscriptions.
Do we have to replace our current systems?
No. Agents work with what you already run — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, your ERP, databases, email and messaging. They read and write with each user’s own permissions.
We already use AWS or Azure. Do we have to move?
No. Groundfloor also runs on a hyperscaler. If you want to move to save dollars or keep data local, we plan the migration in steps and run old and new side by side until it is proven.
How long until something is live?
Usually a working prototype on your own documents in the first week, and a supervised pilot running alongside your team within three weeks. It depends on the process and the systems involved.
