English as Code

Automations are written as plain-English instructions rather than code or screen-scraping bots, so business users can build and maintain them.

Exception handling

When an agent meets an exception it pauses, a person answers in plain English, and the run resumes from where it stopped. The vendor says the answer is kept for next time.

Deterministic execution

The vendor says agents follow the process as defined and log each decision, and it describes the engine as neurosymbolic rather than a pure language-model agent.

Prebuilt AI Employees and apps

The navigation lists 61 AI Employee roles and more than 100 apps, with solutions for finance, banking, healthcare and manufacturing.
