Frequently asked

Common questions about Ray Group.

Short, direct answers to the questions we hear most often. Got one we haven't covered? The contact form is just below.

What is Ray Group?
Ray Group is an independent, UK-based practice combining psychology-informed UX with agentic AI. We design, prioritise, engineer, and ship software grounded in human-computer interaction and cognitive psychology — and we encode that expertise as MCP tools so your agents inherit the same human-centred judgment. Led by practitioners with a track record across FinTech, Web3, and regulated product.
Who runs Ray Group?
Ray Group is led by a senior team of engineering, design, research, and operations practitioners — with experience across e-commerce, consumer products, FinTech, Web3, and complex regulated domains. See the Team section above for who you'll be working with.
Is Ray Group a design agency or an engineering firm?
Both. We treat product as one continuous arc: research, prioritisation, interaction design, software engineering, and deployment. You can engage us for the whole arc or just one part of it — for example, a focused UX review via our online appointment service, or implementation-only work where the design is already in place.
What industries do you have experience in?
Industry-agnostic by design. Substantial experience in e-commerce and retail UX, consumer and B2B software, FinTech and capital markets, Web3 and DeFi, insurance, and private-equity tooling. The methodology — evidence-backed, psychology-informed, user-centred — transfers wherever people have to understand, decide, and act.
What is agentic development?
Agentic development means AI systems that call tools in a loop — reading your rubrics, scoring screens, editing files, running validation — until a task completes or a human approves. Ray Group encodes psychology-informed UX frameworks as MCP tools and helps teams configure agent stacks in Cursor, Claude, and CI.
