People agents

Set it up once.
Run forever.

Automate employee lifecycle work (onboarding, probation, and payroll handoff) as no code, autonomous agent workflows.

Employee lifecycle

Onboarding, probation, and offboarding run end to end as no code workflows. Every step of the journey, handled.

Payroll handoff

Approved leave, hours, and deductions packaged for your provider every cycle. No manual reconciliation.

People assistant

Employees ask about policies, time off, and contracts, grounded in your company handbook, not generic AI.

Daniel Hayes · Q1

Reasoning

Daniel consistently shipped ahead of plan in Q1, leading the auth migration end to end and pairing closely with new hires across the platform team. Calibration suggests strong technical impact.

Performance

Continuous performance,
not annual surprises

Performance reviews and feedback grounded in real data, not memory.

Automate structure and schedule

Reviews run on your cadence, at hire, after probation, mid year. Northwind launches each round and chases responses.

Data from any source

MCP pulls signals from the tools your team already uses, so reviews reflect what happened, not what people remembered.

Agentic review

Agents draft reviews from feedback, flag biases, and surface edge cases for calibration.

Why Northwind

Everything people ops,
in a single place

Every record, request, and approval lives on a single surface, and Northwind keeps them in sync, so nothing quietly drifts out of date.
