FIG. 01AI workforce
An AI workforce that works like a team
Every AI worker on our platform is designed like a real employee — with a defined role, mission, responsibilities, tools, permissions, KPIs, and escalation rules.
AI does the repetitive work. Your people make the decisions.
The workforce

Responsibilities
- Route incoming work to the right queue and owner
- Chase overdue steps and escalate blocked items
- Reconcile records across connected systems

- All cross-system writes are logged and reversible
Measured on
- Exception rate
- Median task cycle time

Anything it cannot resolve in two attempts, or any record mismatch above tolerance, goes to a named human owner with full context attached.

Watches continuously for the control failures that periodic audits find too late.

Presents options with trade-offs. Never selects between them — that stays with people.
