About Comonad Limited

Comonad Limited is a London consultancy that helps large, established UK enterprises take one business function from people-run to agent-run, govern AI, put AI agents into production safely and set up an AI-enabled software development lifecycle. It was founded in May 2024 by Alex Vakhitov, former co-founder and CTO of Cloud KB.

What Comonad Limited is

Comonad Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales and based in London. Alongside client work we build and operate three products of our own and publish practical guides, so what we advise on is something we also run. The engineering side of that work is the AI-enabled SDLC consultancy.

How we work

We start from the system you already operate: its interfaces, data classes, release process and the cost of a wrong answer.
Scope is written down before any code: the model, the tools it may call, the evaluation it must pass, and what is out of bounds.
Implementation follows your release process. You keep the tests, the runbooks and the ability to switch the AI feature off.
Governance and engineering are scoped separately, so advice and build can each be reviewed on their own terms.
We work with whichever models your constraints allow, and we do not train models on your data by default.
Legal sign-off stays with your counsel.
