Connects to your whole stack, picks up where it stopped, and never acts without a receipt.
Founders, ops leaders and growth leads spend the week joining usage, CRM, billing and inbox by hand. The assistants that could help run on one vendor's model and a fixed catalog.
When an agent can email a customer, "usually works" isn't enough.
No connector? tern reads the API docs, writes a sandboxed one, and shows which hosts and credentials it will touch before you approve.
Every step is journaled. Kill it mid-task and it resumes without sending or writing anything twice.
Risky steps wait for approval, scoped to the exact action. Every action lands in a hash-chained ledger.
Any model, including local. Run it on your laptop, or on an always-on server so routines keep running. Hosted is coming, with export and leave.
