Partnering with Sligo AI
Reliability, orchestration, and enterprise hardening for an agent platform
Today, SpendHQ announced its acquisition of Sligo AI. We're proud to have worked closely with the Sligo team through an important part of that journey.
Over several months, Rubric partnered with Sligo across backend reliability, workflow orchestration, enterprise deployment, evaluation systems, and guardrails. The throughline stayed consistent: build AI systems that are powerful, deployable, observable, and secure in real customer environments.
The challenge
Sligo was building an ambitious enterprise AI platform while supporting demanding customer deployments and expanding into increasingly complex agent workflows.
At its core, the work was about making agents work in production:
- reliable backend infrastructure and error handling
- evaluation and monitoring systems for iteration
- workflow tooling for multi-agent coordination
- enterprise deployment paths across cloud environments
- permissions, policy enforcement, and guardrails
"What stood out was Rubric's ability to work across product, infrastructure, and architecture without losing sight of enterprise constraints. They contributed meaningfully to reliability, deployment, and the systems behind our agent platform."
Daniel Bevan
CTO of Sligo AI
Across the collaboration, we worked with Sligo to strengthen the platform's foundation, improve how complex agent workflows were designed and managed, support enterprise deployment needs, and add the guardrails required for real-world use.
The focus throughout was on turning ambitious product ideas into systems that felt reliable, practical, and secure for teams operating in enterprise environments.
What stood out
What stood out to us was Sligo's level of rigor. The team kept returning to the practical questions that matter in enterprise AI: how systems get deployed, how they can be debugged, how permissions are enforced, how non-technical users evaluate results, and how the product experience holds up under real usage.
That combination of product ambition and operational discipline made the partnership especially strong.
"Rubric moved quickly, understood the technical depth of what we were building, and consistently helped us raise the bar on execution. They were a strong partner during an important phase for Sligo."
Matt McCarrick
CEO of Sligo AI
