OVERVIEW

What it does

Answers HR and policy questions instantly with citations from your handbook, and routes the sensitive ones to a human.

Teams typically go live in 4 days. They start in shadow mode, where Policy Answerer proposes every action for review, then switch on autonomy for the decisions it handles reliably.

How it decides

The agent works from your written policies and live data from your tools. When a case falls outside policy, or its confidence drops below your threshold, it escalates to a person with a summary of the research so far.

Guardrails

  • Scoped tool permissions enforced by the runtime

  • Approval gates for high-value or irreversible actions

  • A full run trace for every decision

  • An eval suite built from your own historical cases
