Argo IQ is the QA layer for AI workflows. It monitors AI outputs, catches failures in real time, routes flagged items to human operators, and returns verified results with a full audit trail.

Argo IQ was founded by Trenton Hughes (CEO), Adam Kerr (CTO), Scott Frazier (CMO), and Patrick Hennessey (Lead Engineer) — 4x founders with multiple exits and 7 years of hands-on AI QA experience.

Is Argo IQ affiliated with any AI model company?

No. Argo IQ is LLM-independent and not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any model provider. Your workflows and business logic never leave your servers.

Who is Argo IQ built for?

Argo IQ is built for ops, revenue, compliance, and talent teams who are using AI workflows and need verified, auditable outputs — without building an internal QA team.

AI that actually produces outcomes. Not just outputs.

The outcomes platform for operations teams running AI. Every output scored against what matters. Misses auto-improved. Your AI gets sharper every week.

Backed by Forum Ventures. Built by operators who ran Fortune 500 AI quality at scale.

The Problem We're Built For

The AI doesn't know it's wrong. That's the problem.

Companies deployed AI and expected productivity gains. Instead they got $4.4M in average annual losses, 4.3 hours per employee per week spent verifying AI outputs, and $9,000 per employee per year in hallucination overhead.

What We Do

How Argo IQ Works

Deploy

Pick a workflow. Our deployment agents configure it against your business outcome. You're running.

Score

AQI scores every output on the dimensions that matter for that workflow. Live, on your dashboard, against
your actual KPI.

Fix

Outputs below your bar get improved automatically. The loop closes. Next week's AQI is higher than this
week's. Every week.

If this is you, keep reading.

You're already running AI.
You just want it to keep improving without you in the loop.

I want my AI producing real outcomes, not just outputs

I want to know, with a score, that my AI is working

I want AI to run more of my business without more risk

I want the quality to climb every week, automatically

That's what ArgoIQ does.

Our Mission

We spent 7 years fixing workflows by hand. Argo IQ is the platform we wished existed.

AI is getting deployed everywhere. Nobody is verifying the output.

We spent 7 years manually catching AI failures for real businesses — building the processes, the correction workflows, and the quality standards that most companies skip entirely. We saw the same problem at every scale: the AI looked fine until it wasn't, and by then the damage was done.

ArgoIQ is the platform we wished existed. An oversight layer that monitors every output, catches failures before they hit your business, and gives you a full audit trail — independent of every model company, with no AI to protect but yours.
