ToolsThe story, in brief

SERHANT.'s playbook for rapid AI iteration

Not a pilot. SERHANT. scaled from 200 to 900+ agents without touching infrastructure—here's how they orchestrated Claude, GPT, and Gemini to stay flexible as the AI landscape shifts.

Why it matters

Real-world case study showing how production AI teams balance multi-model deployments, cost optimization, and infrastructure flexibility without vendor lock-in. Demonstrates the shift from single-model bets to task-specific model selection and conversational agents.

The key facts

15 to know
  1. Scaled from 200-agent internal pilot to 900+ users with zero API-layer changes

  2. Orchestrates Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku, OpenAI, and Gemini by task to optimize cost vs. output quality

  3. Used Vercel AI SDK and AI Gateway to abstract model provider complexity and consolidate visibility across multi-model deployments

  4. Generates 35% more content than top five brokerages combined—content generation workload at scale

  5. Shifting from linear workflows (single action → result) to conversational multi-agent workflows (human steers agents mid-flight, chains multiple tasks)

  6. Founded 2020, AI-native real estate company; 800–900+ real estate agents now using S.MPLE platform

  7. Stack: Next.js/Vercel PWA + React Native iOS app; Vercel Fluid Compute for auto-scaling

  8. Scaled from 200-agent pilot to 900+ agents without backend rewrite

  9. Uses Claude Sonnet for reasoning (market analysis), Claude Haiku for speed (intent/field-filling), OpenAI for conversation, Gemini for image generation and computer-use

  10. SERHANT. generates 35% more content than top 5 brokerages combined

  11. API layer required zero changes during 900-user scale-up

  12. Implemented model abstraction layer (Vercel AI SDK) + consolidated observability (AI Gateway) to reduce cognitive load and iteration friction

  13. Experimenting with 'models as guardrails' and caching strategies to optimize token spend

  14. Moving from linear single-task workflows to conversational multi-agent orchestration

  15. Stack: Next.js on Vercel, React Native iOS app, Vercel AI SDK, AI Gateway, Fluid Compute
