What is Azumo?

Azumo is a nearshore software development agency founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, with roughly 110 employees spread across South America, North America, and Asia. It builds production-grade agentic systems using LangGraph, CrewAI, and Microsoft AutoGen, coordinating multiple models and tools to complete multi-step business processes. Its smaller headcount means it is better suited to a single dedicated-team engagement than a multi-workstream enterprise program spanning several concurrent teams.

Azumo works primarily with clients in Technology & SaaS, Retail & E-commerce, Financial Services, Healthcare sectors. Its primary differentiator is: Nearshore agency with named production experience across LangGraph, CrewAI, and Microsoft AutoGen.
