How it works, and everything it can do

An AI employee with its own name, its own WhatsApp number and its own inbox, that works alongside your team and shows you exactly what it did. It takes on most of what an employee actually does on a computer: the messages, the chasing, the documents, the reports, the records and the follow-through. This is the full list, written plainly. Every line says who in your business would use it, and every line is marked honestly. Tap any of the three below to filter the whole page.

Running internally for the past month. Beta places now open to a few firms.

Watch it work

Ten minutes, the whole thing.

The film walks through everything on this page: what it knows about your business, how it talks to your team and to your customers, the work it hands back, and the controls you keep over it.

Built for any business. Fine-tuned until it is yours.

The employee underneath is horizontal. The same engine suits an accounting or advisory practice, a law firm, a clinic, an exporter or trader, an agency or studio, a manufacturer or wholesaler, a recruiter, a real-estate office, or a business that fits none of those labels. That is why everything on this list works out of the box. What makes it a specialist is not the employee itself. It is the three things that get layered on top, for your business only.

What you teach it

Your knowledge, your fee structure, your policies, and every correction you ever make. It writes each one down and never needs telling twice.

The playbooks you give it

Your firm's way of running a job, captured once, then run the same way every time, with your named person checking the result.

What we build around it

Integrations into the systems you already run, and software built for the parts of your work that no product covers.

Within a few weeks it stops being a general AI and becomes your business's own employee. Two businesses in the same trade end up with two genuinely different employees, because they taught it different things and we built different things around it.

Where it works

Seven ways to reach it

It lives on the apps your team and your clients already use. Nobody installs anything, nobody learns a new screen. You message it like you would message a colleague.

WhatsAppTelegram emailSlack one person one history no repeating themselves
Four ways in, one colleague. It recognises the same human by their number, handle or address, so a client who asks on WhatsApp and follows up by email never has to explain twice.
Nothing in this section matches that filter.

Its own WhatsApp number, on your business

A number registered to your business, showing your business name, that clients save and message like any other contact. It is a new, dedicated line for the employee, exactly as a new hire gets their own, and not your personal WhatsApp. We set it up with you.

Understands voice notes in your language

Write in Hinglish, get Hinglish back. Email stays in professional English, because email is the formal record.

For Everyone

Knows who is speaking to it

It recognises each person by their number, Telegram handle or email address, and treats a partner, a junior and an outside client differently. The same person moving from WhatsApp to email is still the same person to it.

The front desk

Seven jobs

The work that eats a receptionist's day and a partner's evening. Enquiries, questions, appointments, complaints. Answered from what you have taught it, never invented.

Nothing in this section matches that filter.

Answers questions from your own knowledge

Fees, scope, timelines, what documents are needed, how you work. It answers from what you have approved, and when it does not know, it says so and checks with you rather than guessing.

For Customers · New enquiries · Juniors

Takes an enquiry and qualifies it

Captures who they are, what they need and when, asks the right follow-up questions, and hands a warm, complete enquiry to the right person instead of a missed call.

Handles the after-hours message

You choose the office hours. Outside them it can answer quietly, or hold the message and pick it up first thing, so nobody is left on read overnight.

Chasing and collections

Seven jobs

The most disliked work in any business, and the most expensive to skip. It chases patiently, politely and forever, and it never gets embarrassed about asking a fourth time.

A document arrived. That is not the same as the right document. looks done the check which period? which entity? wrong quarter not marked received the client is told what is actually needed
The failure nobody catches. A statement for the wrong quarter is worse than a missing one, because the checklist looks finished and the work proceeds on it. It reads what arrives, checks the period and the entity against what was asked for, and refuses to tick the box.
Nothing in this section matches that filter.

Chases clients for documents

Knows which client owes which document, by when, for which piece of work. It asks by name for the exact thing outstanding, and keeps asking until it arrives, on the channel that client prefers.

For Accounts staff · Juniors · Owners
Working

Checks it is the right document, not just a document

A bank statement for the wrong quarter is worse than no bank statement, because it looks done. It reads what arrives and checks the period and the entity against what was asked for, and if it does not match, it does not mark it received. It tells the client, in your words, what is actually needed.

For Accounts staff · Juniors
Working

Runs a payment reminder ladder

Gentle, then firmer, then escalated to a person. Spaced properly, never twice in a day, never rude on the first ask.

For Accounts team · Owners

Sends you a receivables digest

Who owes what, how old it is, who has gone quiet. Arrives on its own, as a real spreadsheet you can open.

Reminds before renewals and deadlines expire

Registrations, licences, engagements, retainers. It carries the date so nobody has to remember it.

Your books, and your clients' books

Six jobs

For any business that lives in accounting software, and for firms that keep other companies’ books. It reads, never writes, so it can never change a ledger. Financial figures stay visible to owners and admins only. That is built in, not left to a policy anyone can forget.

Client reports under your business's own name

Your logo, your commentary, your sign-off. It prepares the report and the commentary as a draft; your branding and signature are applied only after a partner approves it, so responsibility for what goes out stays with your business.

For Accountants · Advisors · Owners
We build it

Where the numbers come from

Every figure it quotes is computed by whoever owns the data, and travels as a number. The books do the arithmetic, or your own spreadsheet's formulas do. The AI's job is to ask the right question and state the answer plainly, never to add up rows itself. Reports built this way are management information from your invoices and recorded expenses, not certified or audited statements.

Whole processes, start to finish

Six jobs

This is the part that replaces a role rather than a task. It runs a multi-stage process across your entire client base at once, and only surfaces the ones that are stuck.

Collect Check Prepare You approve Done Two hundred clients, all moving at once these two reach you missing a document · waiting on a decision
What a filing cycle across your whole book actually looks like. Every client is moved forward on its own, in parallel. The two that are genuinely blocked are lifted out and flagged. You read that short list instead of two hundred rows.

Drives every client through a process, in parallel

A filing cycle across two hundred clients, an onboarding run across fifty new customers, a renewal round across your whole book: collect what is needed, check it, prepare, someone approves, confirm, follow up. It moves each client forward on its own, at the same time, and never loses one in the middle.

Stops a stage that is missing something

If a stage needs a client's GSTIN or PAN and it is not on file, that client is flagged as pending rather than pushed forward on incomplete information. It resumes on its own the moment the detail is added.

What it knows about your business

Seven things

The reason it is worth keeping. Every correction, every document, every decision makes it better, and it never forgets, never leaves and never has to be trained twice. This is one shared memory for the whole business, not a private chat per person.

A chatbot a private conversation each nothing carries between them An employee one memory the whole team feeds it keeps all of it every correction, document and decision
The difference that matters. A chatbot gives each person their own conversation, and what one person teaches it dies there. An employee has one memory the whole team feeds, so what a partner explains on Monday, a junior gets the benefit of on Tuesday.
Nothing in this section matches that filter.

One shared memory for the whole firm

What a partner teaches it on Monday, a junior benefits from on Tuesday. It is not a chatbot each person prompts from scratch.

For Everyone
Working

Learns from your website on day one

Point it at your site and it reads it, and drafts what it learned for you to approve. Nothing goes live until you say so.

For Owners · Admin
Working

Learns from a document you upload

Send it your engagement letter, your fee schedule, your internal notes. It reads them, files them, and can answer from them afterwards.

For Owners · Admin
Working

Learns from being corrected, permanently

Tell it "never quote fees in a group" once and it writes that down as a rule and follows it from then on. Corrections compound; they are not lost at the end of a chat.

Becoming an AI-native business

Six jobs

Most businesses run four or five systems that each hold one piece of the picture and none of which talk to each other. This is the part that changes how fast the whole business moves. We connect them, and we build what is missing, with the employee designed in from the start rather than bolted on afterwards.

Nothing in this section matches that filter.

Your existing software becomes something you message

Instead of logging in, finding the right screen and running the report, you ask your employee and the report arrives. Your practice-management system, your portal, your CRM, your billing tool. Nobody has to learn where anything lives, and nobody has to be at a desk to get it.

For Owners · Everyone on the team
We build it

Systems that never spoke to each other, start to

The client record is in one tool, the billing in another, the documents in a third. Connected through your employee, one question gets an answer that spans all of them. You stop being the integration between your own software.

For Owners · Ops
We build it

Tools that do not exist yet, built and then run by it

A tracker, a client portal, an intake form, an internal tool nobody sells. We build it AI-employee-first: the employee is inside it from day one and operates it for you, rather than it being one more login for someone to keep updated.

For Owners and partners
We build it

Every connection is reviewed before it goes live

We build it, test it read-only against your real system, run it through an automated security review, and it only goes live after a person signs off. Anything that writes back to your system still waits for your approval, every time.

For Owners · Whoever owns IT
We build it

Each new connection makes the employee more capable

It does not stay the same employee. Connect the books and it can answer about money. Connect the practice system and it can answer about matters. It compounds, and the business gets faster with every one.

For Owners and partners
Working

Digitises years of paper

Old registers, files and records turned into something searchable your employee can answer from. We do this with you as a project, not a switch you flip.

For Owners · Admin
We build it

What we do, and what we never touch

We build the connection on our side and reach your system through the interface it already offers. We never modify your software, and we never sit between you and it. If a system has no way in at all, we say so plainly and scope an alternative rather than pretending. Where a piece of software genuinely does not exist yet, we build that instead.

You decide how it behaves

Four modes and eight dials

You do not get a personality you have to live with. Admins set how forward it is, who it will talk to, what it may do on its own and what has to wait, and every one of these can be changed in a moment without anybody touching the settings again.

observing approval first active on leave learns, says nothing nothing leaves without you works inside your rules paused, one polite note you can move it up or down whenever you like

Tap a mode to move it. It runs through them on its own until you take over.

Trust is a dial, not a switch. Most businesses start it observing for a week, keep it on approval-first through probation, and only then let it work on its own. Sensitive things stop for a person at every rung.
The four modes it can be in
1

Observing

It reads and learns and says nothing at all. It sits in your groups, watches how your business works, builds up its knowledge, and never once replies.

Use it In the first week, while it learns you
2

Approval first

It talks freely with your own team, but everything going outward stops and waits for a person. Nothing reaches a client until you have read the exact words and said yes.

Use it Probation, and any time you want a tighter leash
3

Active

It works on its own inside the rules you have set. Anything sensitive, anything about money, and anything that commits the business still comes to you first, because that gate is built in rather than switched on.

Use it Once you trust it, which is most of the time
4

On leave

It stops its own work, sends no routines and starts nothing. Anyone who messages gets one polite note, once, so nobody is ignored while the office is shut.

Use it A closed week, a quiet period, or a pause you want
Nothing in this section matches that filter.

Who it will talk to at all

Admins only, your whole team, or everyone including clients. One setting decides whether it is an internal tool or a public face, and you can start narrow and widen it.

For Owners and partners
Working

Whether it answers private messages

Team only, or anyone. Then per-person exceptions on top, so one particular client can always reach it and one particular person never can. When it declines, it declines in wording you wrote.

For Owners and partners
Working

Its working hours

Set the office hours and choose what happens outside them: answer normally, or reply only to admins and pick up everyone else first thing in the morning.

For Owners and partners
Working

How far it goes on email

Draft everything and wait for you, or send directly. It starts on drafts, and you move it when you are ready.

For Owners and partners
Working

How far it goes in each connected tool

A separate dial per tool: read only, propose and wait, or act. Your Drive can be read-only while your calendar is fully live. Nothing is all-or-nothing.

For Owners · Whoever owns IT
Working

What each person on your team may do with it

Per person: who can give it work, who may see financial figures, who may see sensitive notes, and which tools they can reach through it. A primary admin governs the other admins.

For Owners and partners
Working

Its name, face, personality and tone

You name it, give it a photo, and write how it should carry itself. Warm with the team, formal with clients, or however your business sounds. It holds that voice everywhere.

For Owners and partners
Working

Standing rules, in your own words

"Never quote fees in a group." "Always copy the partner on anything to Meridian." Write the rule once and it becomes part of how it works, permanently, alongside limits on how much it may message in a day.

For Owners · Senior staff
Working

Who controls it, and the receipts

Eight things

An employee you cannot supervise is a liability, whatever the business. Everything it does is visible, most of what matters waits for a person, and you decide who sees what.

it waits for you first message to a client, anything about money out routine work, straight through every step of it written into the diary
Not a setting anyone can switch off in a busy week. Ordinary work leaves without ceremony. Anything outward or consequential stops at a named person, who sees the exact words before they go.

A person approves anything outward or sensitive

A first message to a client, anything about money, anything that commits the business, waits in your queue with the exact text it wants to send. You approve, edit or refuse.

Per person: who can give it work, who can see internal notes, who can reach which tools. It also knows when to move something sensitive into a private message rather than saying it in a group.

What needs you today, what it will handle, what it is holding for approval, what it is deliberately setting aside. Arrives on its own.

Limits, and what is coming

Five limits, plus what is coming

Worth saying out loud, because a list of everything something can do is only trustworthy next to the things it cannot.

×

File on a government portal

It prepares the pack, chases the documents and gets everything ready. A person files it.

×

Give professional advice to your clients

It can help your team think, draft and analyse internally. It does not advise a client on tax, law, finance or medicine in your name.

×

Move money

It chases payment and reconciles who has paid. It has no access to pay anything.

×

Operate desktop-only software that has no way in

Some software runs only on a machine in your office and offers nothing to connect to. Older desktop accounting packages, some government portals, and legacy systems built before anyone thought about it. It cannot sit at that screen and click through it for you. It says so plainly rather than pretending, and we look at whether the same information can be reached another way.

×

Act on anything sensitive without a person

By design, permanently. Not a setting that can be turned off in a busy week.

On the roadmap: it answers the phone

Today it understands voice notes and replies in writing. Next, it speaks: answering and making calls on the same number your clients already have, in an Indian accent and the caller's own language, with every call transcribed into the work diary like everything else. The rest of the stack that makes a voice agent good rather than embarrassing, the knowledge, the judgment, the approval gates, is already built and running.

Why this matters now

In a few years, every business will have at least one AI employee.

The change is not that a machine can answer a question. It is that a business can now have one colleague the whole team talks to, that holds the entire picture, and never forgets any of it. Not a chat window each person opens alone and re-explains themselves to. One employee, with full context, that everybody works through.

Anyone can hire one

Your competitor can take on an AI employee of their own on the day they decide to. That takes them an afternoon, and it always will.

Nobody can hire yours

What they cannot get is the time your employee has already spent learning how your business actually works. Every correction, every procedure, every client's history, every decision anyone explained to it once.

you hire now they hire later the gap time how much it knows about your business
Both of you can buy the same thing. Only one of you has been teaching it since today.

That is the whole argument for starting now rather than later. By the time this is obvious to everybody in your trade, yours will have been learning your business for a year, and theirs will be starting from nothing. The gap between those two does not close. It widens every week.
