The platform integrates directly into workplace tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email to continuously gather inputs and track long-running projects. It draws context from specialized ontology maps and enterprise search across external platforms, including Workday, Jira, and lakehouses.

Human operators remain in the loop to supervise execution, grant necessary approvals, and adjust overall autonomy levels.

• Unity Gateway lets admins control tool access, trace actions, and set spending limits to keep autonomy under control.

AI assistants can run analyses and summarize meetings, but employees still manage the work around them. That’s because most enterprise work is continuous, complex, and data-intensive. To monitor pipeline performance or manage budgets, someone has to track changes, decide what matters, and take action.
