Offboarding and access revocation
Closes the employee record, revokes access on time, and captures the exit conversation while it is still useful.
When an exit interview is logged, group the answers into themes and post the summary to the managers who own the affected work.
The job, and what good looks like.
Offboarding is the workflow that gets dropped, and the cost shows up months later. Email, code repositories, and shared drives stay open because nobody owns a revocation list, credentials in personal accounts are never collected, and the exit conversation happens weeks after the person has left. This workflow starts when a resignation is recorded. It builds the list of every account still assigned to that person, gives each one an owner and a due date, and lines the revocation up with the last working day rather than a convenient week later. In parallel, the exit conversation is scheduled while the person can still answer properly, and the notes are grouped into themes alongside the work those themes point at. A human still decides what happens to shared files and personal credentials, and chooses which themes are safe to share more widely. The workflow closes the record on time and keeps the learning; it does not replace the conversation.

When a resignation is recorded
You stay in charge.
At every step.
It reads and ranks. People decide about people.
- It never rejects anyone
It ranks and summarizes against your written criteria, with a reason for each. Every decision stays with you.
- Undo what you don't want
Every step is recorded, and a file it changed can be put back.
- Candidate data stays contained
Each automation reaches only the inbox and folders you connect for it.

- Where does it run?
- On your Mac or Windows computer, in the background. It keeps working after you close its window, and only reaches the folders and apps you connect for each automation.
- How does it connect to our CRM and other tools?
- Through each app's own connection where it offers one, signed in once by you, or by using the app in a browser the way you would. Each automation gets only the connections you give it, and the tools a page names are examples you can swap for your own.
- Does it run when my computer is asleep?
- It keeps your computer awake while a job runs and just before a scheduled one. While the computer is closed or off, nothing runs; when it wakes, it checks the inbox, calendar and other sources it watches for anything that arrived meanwhile.
- How does my team use it?
- Each person who runs automations installs the app. Keep a project in a shared folder, such as Google Drive or a network drive, and teammates can open it and follow every run, while one person owns it and runs it.
- Do I need anyone technical to set it up?
- No. Download the app, add an automation in plain words, and connect only what that job needs. Nothing runs until you switch it on.

Every exception becomes another branch someone has to build and maintain.
AI chat assistants
Summarizing a CV when you paste it in.
Applications keep arriving while nobody is asking, and the criteria live in a chat.
AUTOMATE.md
Your routine, written in plain words. It runs on its own, follows your rules, handles the exceptions a flowchart can't, and asks you when it matters. The file stays yours, whichever AI model runs it.
