How it works

From connected stack to autonomous operations

Private Pilot teams go live in under two weeks. We map your tools, deploy agents with your policies baked in, and compound intelligence every week, without replacing the systems you already trust.

Step 01

Connect your stack

We map Greenhouse, Xero, Slack, Notion, and 12+ integrations into your dedicated RAG instance, fully isolated from other tenants.

Step 02

Deploy operational agents

Hiring, Finance Brain, Risk Radar, and Weekly Briefing agents activate with your policies, comp bands, and approval flows baked in.

Step 03

Command in natural language

Leaders issue intent, “pause spend over £10k”, “brief me on EU risk”, and AethelLayer orchestrates cross-system execution with audit trails.

Step 04

Compound weekly intelligence

Every action enriches your context engine. Briefings get sharper. Anomalies surface earlier. Execution velocity compounds.

Operational agents

Six specialists. One context engine.

Every agent reads the same live workspace, finance, hiring, risk, vendors, and team signals stay aligned instead of contradicting each other across spreadsheets and Slack threads.

Agent

Finance Brain

Multi-ledger sync, burn anomalies, cash runway, scenario planning, and board-ready monthly reports with citations.

SOC-2 matrix, vendor DPA renewals, stale access reviews, and legal escalation drafts with severity triage.

Agent

Slack /aethellayer commands, employee lifecycle automation, and multi-entity consolidation across legal entities.

Platform layer

Built for operators who need control, not chaos

AethelLayer is not another chatbot on your data. It is an executive layer with meters, policy gates, audit trails, and exports your board can actually cite.

Operations Score™

A single north-star metric blending hiring velocity, burn discipline, risk posture, and briefing completeness, updated in real time, not at quarter-end.

Policy-aware automation

Comp bands, approval matrices, and spend caps are enforced before agents execute, reducing “oops” automations that plague generic AI tools.

Cross-tenant isolation

Dedicated RAG, encryption boundaries, and query routing per pilot customer, your embeddings never train or leak into another tenant’s context.

Human-in-the-loop gates

High-impact actions require explicit approval in Slack or email. Autonomous does not mean unsupervised.

Integration health monitor

Live status for each connector, token expiry, scope drift, sync lag, surfaced before your Monday brief, not after a failed hire.

Executive narrative export

One-click board-ready summaries with cited sources from your systems, not hallucinated bullets you cannot defend.

The execution loop

Sense

Continuous ingestion from HRIS, finance, comms, and docs into one vectorized executive context, always current, never stale silos.

Reason

Agents cross-reference policies, budgets, and history before proposing action, so “hire under £50k” triggers comp, pipeline, and runway checks together.

Act

Approved workflows draft emails, update ATS stages, file finance tickets, and schedule reviews, with full audit logs for compliance.

Learn

Every decision feeds the next briefing. Meters rise as patterns surface: which vendors slip, which squads block offers, where risk clusters.

Why AethelLayer

Your stack is powerful. Your context is not.

Scaling companies do not lack tools, they lack a layer that understands how hiring, finance, compliance, and team metrics connect. AethelLayer is that layer: an AI Chief of Staff that sees the whole business and acts on it.

Explore the full platform

One executive context engine

AethelLayer unifies hiring, finance, compliance, and team signals into a single autonomous layer, so every agent operates from the same live picture of your business.

Agents that execute, not just chat

Voice a goal like “hire a designer under £50k” and AethelLayer routes work across systems: screening, budget checks, outreach drafts, and calendar holds.

Weekly clarity for leadership

Automated CEO briefings synthesize OKRs, meetings, risks, and pipeline health, so you decide from signal, not scavenger hunts.

The shift

Before and after the executive layer

This is not another dashboard. It is the end of rebuilding context every Monday, and the start of autonomous execution with guardrails.

Without AethelLayer

12+ tabs open every Monday to rebuild context
Hiring and finance data never reconciled in real time
Action items buried in Slack threads and Notion pages
Board prep is a scavenger hunt across tools
Risk signals surface days before the meeting, not weeks earlier

With AethelLayer

One Operations Score reflecting live hiring, finance, and risk
Agents cross-check comp bands before offers go out
Meeting Listener extracts decisions with owners and deadlines
Executive brief auto-generated with cited sources
Risk Radar escalates anomalies with severity and next steps

Operator stories

Built with scaling leadership teams

“We stopped being the human API between Greenhouse and Xero. AethelLayer gave our COO a single place to see hiring velocity against burn, without another dashboard project.”

CEO

Series B SaaS · 85 employees

23% faster time-to-offer

“The Weekly Briefing agent alone replaced six hours of leadership sync prep. Every metric links back to the system it came from, we can defend every number in board review.”

Head of Operations

Fintech scale-up · 120 employees

47 KPIs tracked automatically

“Risk Radar caught a vendor DPA expiry and stale admin access in the same week. Both would have surfaced in our audit prep, AethelLayer surfaced them when they were still cheap to fix.”
