What Kumo can do
One colleague.
Every workflow.
This is the live catalogue of work Kumo can finish for you — clock in, build a rota, book leave, hire, pay, review — generated from the same registry that gates execution. Confirmations protect the work; trusted self-service can earn autonomy. If it isn't here yet, Kumo says so honestly instead of pretending. Coverage grows with every release.

Browse by module, or search in your words.

Why this is safe
Powerful, never reckless.
Every change moves through the same guardrails — the agent drafts, people decide.
01
Drafted, not done
Every change becomes a confirmation card with a full preview — old value, new value, who gets notified. Nothing executes until a person approves it.
02
Co-signed when it counts
Pay changes, offboarding, role grants, payroll releases, bonuses and equity need a second admin's signature on top of the approver's.
03
Your permissions, exactly
The agent acts through the platform's own APIs as the requester — real permissions, real notifications, and an audit log on every step.
Watch it work on your data.
See the agent finish real HR work in a 30-minute demo. Live in 48 hours.
