How it works
From fragmented tools to unified execution.
Private Pilot teams get white-glove onboarding, we map your stack, deploy agents, and get you live in under fourteen days.
Connect your stack
We map Greenhouse, Xero, Slack, Notion, and 12+ integrations into your dedicated RAG instance, fully isolated from other tenants.
Deploy operational agents
Hiring, Finance Brain, Risk Radar, and Weekly Briefing agents activate with your policies, comp bands, and approval flows baked in.
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.
Compound weekly intelligence
Every action enriches your context engine. Briefings get sharper. Anomalies surface earlier. Execution velocity compounds.
14-day activation
Your path from signup to executive layer
White-glove onboarding with a dedicated solutions engineer. No self-serve docs and disappear, we stay with you through full activation.

Common questions
Onboarding, answered
Do we need to migrate off our existing tools?
No. AethelLayer sits above your stack, it connects via API and OAuth to tools you already use. Greenhouse stays Greenhouse; Xero stays Xero. We unify context, not replace systems.
What if an agent makes a mistake?
High-impact actions require human approval before execution. Every agent action is logged with source citations. You configure which workflows are suggest-only vs. auto-execute.
Can we start with one agent?
Yes. Most pilots begin with Hiring + Finance Brain, then expand to Risk Radar and Weekly Briefing in week two. Phased rollout is included in onboarding.
What happens after the 14-day activation?
You retain full access to your dedicated instance. Ongoing support, new integrations, and custom agent tuning are scoped in your Private Pilot agreement.
