Answer an RFP or security questionnaire

A review app that drafts cited answers to an RFP or security questionnaire, leaves unsupported questions blank, and requires a person to approve each answer. It starts with recorded Chat responses, so you can inspect its refusal paths before connecting it to Glean.

Coordinate agents, governed actions, human approval, and operational failure paths in end-to-end builds.

On-call Copilot

An on-call dashboard that takes an alarm to a proposed action and puts a person in front of that action. It names a cause only when a past incident backs it, turns away an approver who is neither on call nor the service owner, and escalates instead of approving itself when nobody answers. It runs on recorded incidents, so you can watch it refuse things before connecting it to anything.
