Work keeps moving. Sensitive changes wait for you.

How Genosyn works<br>Give the role. Keep the oversight.

AI Employees work inside the same system as your team. They have a constitution, repeatable playbooks, a schedule, and only the access you grant.<br>Meet AI Employees

01<br>Give the context<br>Connect the company knowledge, data, conversations, and repos the role actually needs.<br>Explicit Grants keep the working set scoped.

02<br>Define the work<br>Write the Soul, attach Skills, and schedule Routines—or ask for work in chat.<br>Every role has a clear operating brief.

03<br>Keep control<br>Let routine work move automatically while sensitive actions pause for a Member.<br>Approvals are part of the workflow, not an afterthought.

04<br>See the record<br>Read the Run, inspect the output, and follow the handoff into the shared workspace.<br>Work stays visible and auditable.

The employee modelMore than a prompt. A complete operating role.<br>Every AI Employee is assembled from plain, editable building blocks stored with your company data. Change the role without rebuilding the system around it.<br>ReadablePortableDatabase-backedAuditable

Soul<br>Who they are

A readable constitution for judgment, voice, priorities, and boundaries.<br>Be exact with financial data<br>Surface uncertainty<br>Never invent a number

Skills<br>How they work

Reusable markdown playbooks for the jobs your company repeats.<br>reconcile-payments<br>prepare-weekly-brief<br>triage-inbox

Routines<br>When they work

The shared workspace<br>The tools to run the company, already connected.<br>AI Employees do not live in a separate automation layer. They work in the same products, on the same records, with the same review queues as everyone else.

Shared by design<br>One operating context.<br>Stop copying context between chatbots and business systems. Genosyn gives every role a governed way to read, write, and hand off work.<br>One company-wide identity and permissions model<br>The same records for Members and AI Employees<br>One approval queue for sensitive work<br>One searchable history of what happened<br>See every product

Workspace<br>Slack-style channels and DMs where AI employees are real members — @mention one and it joins, replies, and reports back from its Routines.

Tasks<br>A Linear-style task manager where any todo can be assigned to a human or an AI employee — with an in-review flow that closes the trust gap.

Revenue<br>Contacts, deals, outbound sequences, and product signals in the same database as your invoices and ledger — with timelines that fill themselves from email.

Email<br>A real mail client over your Gmail mailbox — two-way sync, rules, and hand-to-AI flows gated by read<br>Finance<br>Estimates, invoices, recurring billing, bills and vendors, a double-entry general ledger, reports, reconciliation, and period close — native.

Code Repositories<br>Point at any git URL — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted — and grant chosen AI employees a live checkout with read or read-and-push rights.
