How Avue Built FedRAMP-Ready AI Agents in Weeks, Not Years, with Karini's No-Code Platform

Challenge: Avue Technologies, a leading provider of secure HR solutions for federal agencies, spent over two years and $2 million working with three sequential consulting teams to develop generative AI capabilities with zero production results. Each team followed the same pattern: heavy engineering dependencies, 60–90 day deployment cycles, compounding technical debt, and no clear path to FedRAMP compliance. The company could only test 2–3 proof-of-concept ideas per quarter while federal competitors launched AI-powered solutions.

Linda Rix, Co-CEO, captured the frustration:"There we were. Poised to be on the frontier. For. Two. Years."

By late 2024, Avue faced a critical decision: hire a fourth consulting team or completely pivot their strategy.

Solution: In January 2025, Avue abandoned the traditional consulting model entirely and implemented Karini AI's no-code generative AI platform on AWS GovCloud. The platform's visual workflow builder, prompt engineering playground, and built-in HR system connectors enabled domain experts, not engineers, to build AI workflows directly. This eliminated the requirements-translation bottleneck that plagued the consulting approach. The FedRAMP-ready infrastructure provided the compliance pathway that custom development never achieved. Avue deployed its first production solution in just three weeks and rolled out over 50 AI use cases within five months, all without adding a single new hire.

Impact: The transformation delivered a 95% reduction in time-to-market (from 24+ months to 3 weeks for the first production deployment), $250,000+ in quarterly cost avoidance, and a 25x increase in innovation velocity, from 2–3 experiments per quarter to 50+. The company eliminated 30,000+ lines of legacy code and reduced its engineering team requirements by 75%.

Jim Miller, Co-CEO, explains:

"We deployed 50+ use cases over five months after two years of failed traditional development. Twenty to thirty minutes of work now saves days of effort. That's the power of no-code GenAI."

"Speed is everything. The swirling turbulence of today's business environments requires speed and depth. GenAI and the Karini tool allow you to have both."
