How it works

Plug in this morning. Know by lunch.

Read-only access. About 10 minutes. Then idle spend has a name, an amount, and a button.

01

Connect your stack

Read-only OAuth to QuickBooks, Xero, Ramp, Google Workspace, Okta, and AWS. Live in about 10 minutes.

02

Run zero-click audit

License audit, renewal shield, cloud FinOps, and board anomaly engine activate against your live spend data.

03

You approve the save

Negotiation emails, GitHub PRs, and board PDFs. All wait in your queue until you say yes.

04

Compound weekly intelligence

Every action enriches your context engine. Briefings get sharper. Anomalies surface earlier. Execution velocity compounds.

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 early access teams 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 15-minute activation?

You retain full access to your dedicated instance. Ongoing support, new integrations, and custom agent tuning are scoped in your Early Access agreement.

Ready when they ask

Stop rebuilding the board pack on Sunday.

Connect once. See the waste. Approve the save. Most teams find more in the first session than a year of the plan costs.
