Representative enterprise systems. Connections, permissions and availability are configured for each deployment.

Work Carried Out

The work moves through your systems instead of waiting in a queue for someone to pick it up.

Controlled & Recorded

You control exactly what tools a Digital Employee can access. Every action is authenticated and logged.

Full Control

Set strict boundaries and approval workflows for consequential actions, such as releasing a purchase order.

Every action your
business needs

Five categories of tools that cover the range of enterprise operations—from coordination to governed execution.

Communication

Coordinate enterprise work

Notify the accountable owner, route an approval and keep the people involved informed as the work moves.

Notify ownerRoute approval
Action Execution

Execute governed actions

Update an incident, create a sales order, progress a case — each one inside the permissions the role holds.

Update incidentCreate sales order
Executed
Data Retrieval

Retrieve authorised records

Read the account, case or record the task requires, and nothing beyond it.

Retrieve accountRead case
Analysis

Prepare decisions

Compare a request against policy and assemble the evidence a human approver needs.

Compare policyFormat evidence
Utilities

Apply operational logic

Validate dates, apply thresholds and format the output your systems expect.

The Digital Employee that knows
when to talk and when to do

Your Digital Employees don't follow scripts. They evaluate each situation and decide whether a tool is needed, which tool to use, and what information to provide.

You don't program decision trees. You assign tools and set boundaries. Your Digital Employee handles the judgment.

Request

"Which policy covers this supplier exception?"

Thinking

"This is an information question. I'll search the approved policy sources."

Action Decision

Responds with the applicable policy. No tool needed.

Request

"Send the approved evidence pack to the reviewer."

Thinking

"They want the evidence sent. I need the send_email tool."

Action Decision

Finds the evidence pack, sends it, confirms delivery.

Request

"This supplier onboarding has been sitting since Monday."

Thinking

"First, check where it stopped. If a record is missing, create it and tell the owner."

Action Decision

Checks the case, creates the missing record, notifies the owner.

Request

"Close this account and everything attached to it."

Thinking

"I don't have permission for an action this consequential. I should route it to someone who does."

Action Decision

Explains the limit, routes to the accountable owner, creates a ticket.

Four situations. Four different decisions.

Your Digital Employee assessed each one and chose the right action—without a script telling it what to do.
That's the difference between a tool that follows rules and an employee that uses judgment.

Smart decisions,
not just smart responses

Your Digital Employees evaluate every situation before choosing an action. See how they think in real-time.

How businesses use Tools

Representative enterprise scenarios. See how different functions deploy Digital Employees with tools to carry out the work their role permits.

Procurement — Purchase-order review

The challenge

Purchase orders require policy checks, supporting evidence and approval before release.

How Tools helps

A Procurement Digital Employee retrieves the order in SAP, checks the applicable policy, prepares the evidence and routes the release to the named approver.

Data retrieval
Policy check
Human approval

A complete approval package, recorded from request to release.

How Digital Employees connect to SAP

Insurance — Claims intake

The challenge

Claims arrive across channels and require structured intake, document collection and consistent routing.

How Tools helps

A Claims Digital Employee creates the case, requests missing evidence, updates the system of record and escalates consequential decisions.

Case creation
Evidence collection
Escalation

A structured claim ready for the accountable human owner.

Where claims arrive

IT operations — Incident coordination

The challenge

Enterprise incidents require context from several systems and coordinated action across specialist teams.

How Tools helps

An IT Operations Digital Employee retrieves the incident, gathers approved knowledge, updates ServiceNow and coordinates the next action through Microsoft Teams.

System update
Knowledge retrieval
Team coordination

A governed incident workflow with every action retained.

Where the approved knowledge lives

Give your Digital Employees
the tools they need

You decide which tools a role holds, and what each one is allowed to do. Nothing is granted by default.

STEP 01

Browse available tools

Review the tools available for coordination, data and governed action.

STEP 02
Notify owner
Read account
Release order

Assign permissions

Decide exactly which role can do what. Grant an action, or withhold it.

STEP 03
System Active

Watch them work

Every action a Digital Employee takes is logged, attributable and open to review.

Tools work with every building block

Your Digital Employees use tools through channels, informed by knowledge bases, powered by your integrations. Each building block remains connected through the Digital Employee’s governed role.

Channels

Where a Digital Employee is reachable

The enterprise channels your people already work in. One Digital Employee, reachable in each of them under the same identity.

Knowledge Bases

Common questions about Tools

Your Digital Employee evaluates each situation in real time. If someone asks a policy question, it answers from the approved sources. If the request needs an action—updating an incident, preparing an approval, creating a record—it selects the appropriate tool and carries it out. You don’t program decision trees. The Digital Employee uses judgment based on the context and the tools its role has been granted.

Yes. You assign tools individually to each Digital Employee. A Procurement role might hold order retrieval, policy checks and approval routing. An IT Operations role might hold incident updates and knowledge retrieval. No Digital Employee can use a tool you haven’t explicitly authorized.

Your Digital Employee handles failures openly. If a tool doesn’t work, it says so, offers an alternative, or escalates to the accountable human owner. Every tool execution is logged so you can review exactly what happened. Failures remain visible and can be reviewed or escalated.

Tools are configured by your team against the systems you already run, and each one is scoped to the role that will hold it. What that involves depends on your environment, your identity provider and your change process, so it is something we walk through with you rather than a fixed number of steps.

Yes. If a request requires several steps—retrieving the record, creating what’s missing and notifying the owner—your Digital Employee handles the sequence. It evaluates the full situation and chains the permitted tools together, stopping where a human decision is required.

Every tool use is recorded: what was used, when, why, and what the result was. You have full visibility into every action your Digital Employees take. Every permitted tool action remains visible and attributable.

Yes. Start with the tools a role needs today and extend as its responsibilities grow. New tools become available to any Digital Employee you assign them to. Existing permissions remain independently governed.

Bring a process you want carried out under your own controls. We'll show you exactly how a Digital Employee uses tools to do the work, and what it is allowed to do at every step.
