For project-driven service companies

Run projects, people and money in one place

Manager is the AI-assisted operating system for agencies, consultancies and service firms. A daily check-in and fixed formulas flag risk early. AI explains, drafts and recommends. People make every decision, and nobody is scored.

Free for up to 10 people. No card needed. Works on defaults from the first day.

Example: a morning briefIllustration

Good morning. Two things need you today.

Website rebuild: red

Go-live milestone forecast 9 days late; two blockers open for 4 days. Suggested next step: agree a revised date with the client.

Design team: overloaded for 2 weeks

A rebalancing is drafted for the team lead to review.

Data migration: back to green

Budget forecast now within 3% after yesterday's approved change.

How it works

One loop, every day

Manager is built around a simple loop: the work is planned, people say how it is going, formulas spot the risk, and the right people hear about it in time to act.

  1. Set up your projects

    Start from a template, or import from a spreadsheet. Milestones, tasks, risks and budgets come with it.

  2. Bring your people in

    Invite people, import them, or provision them from your directory. Roles and privacy work on defaults.

  3. Check in daily

    Each person spends under a minute: what they did, what is next, what is blocking them.

  4. Formulas score the risk

    Schedule, budget, capacity, blockers and client signals give every project a green, amber or red health you can check.

  5. Alerts reach the right person

    When something crosses a line, the person who can act hears about it, with a recommended next step to approve.

  6. Leaders read one brief

    A short morning summary of what changed, what is at risk and what needs a decision, by email or in the app.

AI under human supervision

AI that explains and drafts, never judges

Manager uses AI to save time on reading and writing. It works for the people using it, under their supervision.

What the AI does

  • Explains why a project is amber or red, from the same figures the formulas used
  • Drafts check-ins, status reports, briefs and plans for a person to approve
  • Answers questions about work you already have access to, with links to the records
  • Suggests next steps, starting at Advise: it only suggests until your admins allow more
  • Runs agents your admins build, which look at work, not people, and can only suggest or propose

What the AI never does

  • Score, rank or judge people. There is no hidden rating of anyone
  • Calculate risk scores. Those are fixed formulas, so the same facts give the same score
  • Decide pay, promotion, hiring or discipline, or screen candidates
  • Train AI models on your company's data

Security and privacy

Built to be trusted with people and money

Company isolation, permissions and privacy rules are part of the design, not settings added later.

  • Your company's data stays yours

    Every company's data is separated in the database itself by row-level security, checked by automated tests.

  • Secure sign-in

    Multi-factor authentication for anyone who turns it on, required for owners, admins and finance. SAML single sign-on and SCIM provisioning.

  • Everything is on the record

    An audit log of security-relevant changes, approvals, exports and sign-ins. Through the product, support staff see nothing unless you grant access for one ticket.

  • Privacy built in

    People figures hidden for groups under five, private coaching, a notice period before visibility widens, and export or erasure on request.
