PeopleOS — an AI coworker for HR operations.
The system
PeopleOS is an AI coworker that runs HR operations conversationally — thirty-six workflows across ten categories, from onboarding plans and time-off requests to review cycles, pay-equity analysis, offboarding, and policy questions answered in plain language.
Twenty-nine scheduled jobs keep it proactive rather than reactive: it notices expiring contracts, compensation band compression, and overdue milestones before anyone asks. Built on Claude, with Slack and email in the loop.
The system shipped
An HR department's busywork, handled in chat.
Conversational HR
Time off, expenses, policy questions, and people search handled in chat.
Lifecycle Automation
Onboarding 30/60/90 plans, review cycles, offboarding and knowledge transfer.
Compensation Intelligence
Pay-equity analysis and band-compression detection.
Proactive by Schedule
Twenty-nine scheduled checks that surface issues before they're raised.
In production
PeopleOS is where the studio pressure-tests agentic patterns — approvals, proactive scheduling, human-in-the-loop writes — before they ship inside client systems.
