How Genosyn works

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.

Meet AI Employees

  1. 01

    Give the context

    Connect the company knowledge, data, conversations, and repos the role actually needs.

    Explicit Grants keep the working set scoped.

  2. 02

    Define the work

    Write the Soul, attach Skills, and schedule Routines—or ask for work in chat.

    Every role has a clear operating brief.

  3. 03

    Keep control

    Let routine work move automatically while sensitive actions pause for a Member.

    Approvals are part of the workflow, not an afterthought.

  4. 04

    See the record

    Read the Run, inspect the output, and follow the handoff into the shared workspace.

    Work stays visible and auditable.

The employee model

More than a prompt. A complete operating role.

Every AI Employee is assembled from plain, editable building blocks stored with your company data. Change the role without rebuilding the system around it.

ReadablePortableDatabase-backedAuditable

A readable constitution for judgment, voice, priorities, and boundaries.

  • Be exact with financial data
  • Surface uncertainty
  • Never invent a number

Reusable markdown playbooks for the jobs your company repeats.

  • reconcile-payments
  • prepare-weekly-brief
  • triage-inbox

Cron-scheduled work with a clear brief, chosen AI Model, and readable Run history.

  • Morning brief · 08:30
  • Reconcile · 07:00
  • Digest · Fri 17:00

Grants

What they can reach

Explicit access to Connections, Notes, Bases, repositories, and other company resources.

  • Finance connection
  • Operations notebook
  • Checkout repository

The shared workspace

The tools to run the company, already connected.

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.

Self-hosted from day one

Your company. Your infrastructure. Your keys.

Genosyn installs as a single self-hosted application. Bring Anthropic, OpenAI, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint and keep the operating data on infrastructure you control.

Runs where you choose

Start on one Linux host with Docker. Move to Postgres when the company needs it.

Your data stays yours

Company records, Souls, Skills, Routines, Run logs, and encrypted credentials stay under your control.

Operate it with confidence

The Genosyn CLI handles upgrades, health checks, backups, logs, and recovery.

Put your first AI Employee to work.

Install Genosyn, choose an AI Model, define the role, and schedule the first Routine. The rest of the company can grow from there.
