PeopleAura is the autonomous workforce OS. Agents handle every administrative interaction — onboarding, reviews, policies, equipment, retention — so your HR manager stops juggling tabs and your leaders stop losing the people they cannot afford to lose.
Built ingest-first, with agent-built connectors for your stack, deployed in four weeks. No unified-API resellers. We build the capability we sell.
Your HR manager juggles Paycom, Employee Navigator, your benefits broker portal, your training platform, your assessment vendor, your file shares, and a folder of PDFs nobody reads. Your leaders find out their best people are leaving from their resignation email.
Departure signals exist for months — disengagement, missed 1:1s, withdrawn pulse responses. Nobody is reading them.
Onboarding handoffs, performance writeups, policy chase-downs, exit interviews. The leadership tax is invisible — and enormous.
Twelve systems. None of them talk. The HR manager is the integration layer.
Acknowledgments unsigned, accommodations undocumented, terminations under-evidenced. Audit risk grows quietly.
Most HR software is built for the office. Crews, drivers, technicians, and field leads get a portal they never log into.
Equipment status, certifications expiring, who is on the truck today — buried across phones, spreadsheets, and memory.
This is not a software gap. It is a workforce-operating-system gap.
| Category | What it does well | Where it breaks | Serves first | Where PeopleAura fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Compound HR platforms Rippling, Paycom, ADP | Payroll, benefits, compliance core | Cluttered UX, mobile-thin, chatbot-only AI, zero vertical opinion | Office-first HR teams in horizontal SaaS companies | The autonomous workforce layer ON TOP of the system of record |
Engagement & performance tools Lattice, 15Five, Culture Amp | Surveys, review cycles, OKR tracking | No HRIS core; flight-risk is reporting, not action | Engagement-budget owners | Predictive Retain Engine + autonomous intervention |
Field-services / frontline platforms Sona, Crew, Workyard | Mobile-first frontline tooling | Narrow utility; no people-ops surface; no agent autonomy | Frontline ops teams | Workforce OS that includes the frontline as a first-class user |
Assessment + coaching tools DISC, StrengthsFinder, Gallup, PI | Behavioral data | One-shot reports that go in a drawer | L&D buyers | Multi-assessment ingestion that becomes operational signal |
PeopleAura does not ask you to throw away Paycom or your assessment library. It absorbs them, makes them legible, and builds the autonomous layer on top.
Every employee, every signal, on one record.
Agents do the blocking and tackling. Humans approve what matters.
The people-ops infrastructure operators deserve.
Most companies buy point solutions. PeopleAura compounds into infrastructure.
A crew chief should understand PeopleAura in three taps. If it is not lighter than the group text, it fails.
The HR manager does not need more noise. The HR manager needs a system that says who is leaving, what would change their mind, and what only you can do about it.
One person. One signal. One conversation. One outcome.
An agent crew scans your stack — payroll, benefits, field tools, assessments, training, file shares. We map every system, every PII surface, every quirk. You get a deployment plan with named connectors and named risks.
We build your connectors. Not a unified-API rental — actual native integrations to your actual stack, written by orchestrated agents and reviewed by humans. We instantiate your industry template (construction-residential, trades, field-services, or custom).
Full sync, dry-run with sample personas, override rules tested. Your HR manager and one frontline lead pressure-test the workflow before any employee sees it.
SSO provisioned, mobile PWAs published, employees onboarded with Day-1 readiness. Stay-interview agent wakes up. Retain Engine begins watching.
Each new signal makes the next decision better. Each new vertical template strengthens the next deployment. The library of agent-built connectors becomes the moat.
PeopleAura automates onboarding, reviews, policies, retention signals, and the workforce admin that consumes leadership bandwidth. Compensation, terminations, accommodations, and any change with legal or financial weight remain human-gated by design.
Replacement cost is rising, talent is scarcer, and the cost of losing your best person now exceeds the cost of running an entire HR function.
80% of the workforce works on their feet. 80% of HR software was built for office workers. The gap is the opportunity.
For drafting reviews, conducting stay-interviews, surfacing flight risk, and stitching connectors. Not for autonomous compensation, termination, or accommodation decisions. Every action audited, every high-risk move human-gated.
The next generation of HR software absorbs incumbents. It does not add another tab to the toolbar.
The winners in workforce software will not be the loudest. They will be the ones that give leaders their week back and give the best people a reason to stay.
File-upload core + audit-event-native + policy library + acknowledgments. For teams that want the audit posture and the leverage without the integration depth yet.
Starter + agent-built native connectors for your stack + multi-assessment ingestion + adaptive onboarding + industry template. The flagship deployment.
Connected + the full Retain Engine + custom agent libraries + priority enhancement queue. For operators where retention is the bet.
The wedge lands through retention. The business compounds through workforce infrastructure.
PeopleAura gets stronger as more workforces flow through it. Not because of vanity metrics. Because every retained employee, every agent-built connector, and every industry template makes the next deployment faster, sharper, and harder to copy.
The people who run the work — and the people who do the work — both deserve infrastructure that respects their time. Most HR software was built to satisfy compliance teams and busy executives. We are building for the HR manager who has been doing the job of twelve systems by herself, and for the leader who cannot afford to lose one more good person to bad admin.
Our north star is simple. Leaders should lead. The best people should stay. Everything we build is in service of those two outcomes.
We are not building software to admire the problem. We are building a workforce operating system that returns time, clarity, and dignity to the people closest to the work.
