We studied Computer Science and Technologies at Tec de Monterrey, Querétaro campus, and founded Breakaway before we graduated. Today we have agent ecosystems running in production.
How it started
Our first client arrived before our degrees did.
They hired us while we were still students, for a project bigger than anything we had built until then. We took it, delivered it and put it into production.
Then so much work came in that there were weeks when deliveries mattered more than classes. After graduating we went all in on Breakaway. We still work the same way: we commit to the outcome and build whatever it takes to reach it.

Where we stand
How we think about automation
Process first, AI second
A misunderstood process doesn't improve just because you put a model on top of it. We start by mapping how your team works today.
With permissions and a paper trail
Every agent declares which systems it enters and what it can write, and leaves an auditable record of every action it runs.
We'll tell you no when that's the right call
Some processes aren't worth automating yet. We'd rather say so during the assessment than have you find out halfway through the project.
Which process is weighing you down?
The first conversation is a free assessment. We'll tell you frankly whether an agent solves your problem, or whether it isn't worth it.
