# Hendricks

> Hendricks designs and deploys autonomous AI agent systems on Google Cloud that monitor signals, coordinate decisions, and execute workflows — delivering Intelligent Operations for mid-market companies.

## Company

- Name: Hendricks
- Founder: Brandon Lincoln Hendricks
- Title: Autonomous AI Agent Architect
- Location: Houston, TX
- Contact: hello@hendricks.ai
- Website: https://hendricks.ai
- Tagline: Architecture for Autonomous AI Agent Systems

## What Hendricks Does

Hendricks builds autonomous AI agent systems on Google Cloud for professional services firms. These systems monitor operational signals, reason through decisions, and execute workflows without human intervention. The technology stack is Gemini + ADK + Vertex AI Agent Engine + BigQuery + Google Cloud.

Hendricks is NOT a consulting firm, NOT an AI search company, and NOT a tool vendor. Hendricks architects and deploys production agent systems that run autonomously.

## The Hendricks Method

1. Architecture Design — Assess the operational environment, map signal flows, and design the agent architecture for autonomous systems.
2. Agent Development — Build autonomous agents using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) that monitor, decide, and act across operations.
3. System Deployment — Deploy agents on Vertex AI Agent Engine within Google Cloud — production infrastructure, not prototypes.
4. Continuous Operation — Manage autonomous systems in production — monitoring, optimizing, and evolving them as the business grows.

## Services

- Autonomous Operational Intelligence: Monitoring agents, anomaly detection, automated decision support, real-time operational intelligence.
- Autonomous Workflow Agents: Campaign intelligence, customer intake automation, operational reporting, internal workflow coordination.
