What I Do:

I'm Caleb Mantey Co-Founder & CTO of Relu Interactives and creator of Relu Spatial, our browser-native WebXR platform. I build autonomous AI agents and immersive spatial experiences, with 7+ years across the full software development life cycle.

Who I Am

About Me

I'm a software engineer, AI builder, and XR pioneer from Accra, Ghana turning bold ideas into intelligent, immersive products for over 7 years. As Co-Founder & CTO of Relu Interactives and the creator of Relu Spatial (our browser-native WebXR platform). I work where artificial intelligence meets spatial computing: building autonomous AI agents that reason and act, and immersive experiences people can step inside. I started out shipping games in Unity and C#, became one of the earliest pioneers of XR in Ghana and Africa since 2016, then moved deep into AI engineering, building production AI agents, multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines, and LLM-powered automation with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, Pi Agent Sdk, you name it. My toolkit spans agentic AI, Unity3D, XR SDKs (Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro), WebXR, and full-stack development (React, Node.js, Python) on modern cloud infrastructure. I lead teams, share insights through technical writing and workshops, and stay obsessed with one question: how do we make technology that doesn't just look futuristic, but actually solves real-world problems?

AI Engineering

I Build Agentic AI Systems

We're in the age of AI and I build the infrastructure that powers it. From autonomous, tool-using agents and multi-agent orchestration to RAG pipelines and production LLM systems, I design AI that reasons, uses tools, and takes real action. I specialize in building AI harnesses with Vercel AI SDK, Claude SDK, and Pi Agent SDK, with strategic cost optimization through intelligent model routing, knowing when to use premium models vs cost-efficient alternatives like DeepSeek or smaller specialized models. I've saved clients thousands while maintaining quality through smart model selection and caching strategies.

AI Harness Development

I build production AI harnesses using Vercel AI SDK, Claude SDK, and Pi Agent SDK that seamlessly integrate agentic capabilities into applications. From streaming responses to tool orchestration, I create robust interfaces between your app and AI providers.

Cost-Optimized AI Systems

I architect AI systems with intelligent model routing using Claude Sonnet for complex reasoning, Haiku for speed, DeepSeek R1 for cost-effective tasks, or smaller models where appropriate. Strategic caching, prompt optimization, and model selection that cuts costs by 60-80%.

RAG & Knowledge Systems

I ground LLMs in private data with retrieval-augmented generation, vector search, embeddings, and semantic memory so answers are accurate, sourced, and trustworthy.

Tool Use & MCP

I connect agents to real-world tools, APIs, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so they can take action across systems, booking, querying, automating, and integrating end-to-end.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

I build collaborative agent systems where specialized agents coordinate, delegate, and verify each other's work using orchestrator–worker patterns and graph-based workflows (LangGraph). Each agent uses the optimal model for its specific task.

Agentic 3D & Spatial AI

My frontier: fusing LLM agents with XR and real-time 3D AI that generates, composes, and drives immersive spatial experiences. It's the direction powering our WebXR platform, Relu Spatial.

My Process

How I Build Production AI Agents

01
Define Goal & Guardrails

Clarify the task, success criteria, scope, and safety boundaries the agent must operate within.

02
Design Tools & Context

Wire up the right tools, APIs, RAG retrieval and MCP servers so the agent has the context to act.

03
Orchestrate Reasoning

Compose planning, memory, and multi-agent workflows, single agent or coordinated swarm.

04
Evaluate & Trace

Build evals, trace every step, catch failures, and iterate on prompts, tools and routing.

05
Ship & Monitor

Deploy to production with logging, cost controls, and observability then keep improving.
