Context

Most HR software waits to be clicked. Kumo was built around a different premise: the head of People describes what needs to happen, and the platform's AI colleague does the work across hiring, payroll, leave, performance and learning. The product line is 'click around, or just ask'.

What it does

  • An agentic AI colleague that executes HR tasks end to end, not a chatbot layered on top
  • Reads and reasons over CVs, contracts and company policies in context
  • Full execution logs, so every AI action is inspectable after the fact
  • Pauses for human confirmation before sensitive actions such as pay or contract changes
  • Coverage for globally distributed teams, with regulatory updates applied per country
  • Voice-enabled mobile apps, so managers can handle approvals away from a desk

How it is built to behave

  • Human confirmation gates sit in front of every consequential action; the agent proposes, a person approves
  • Per-employee pricing with AI work metered on prepaid credits, so cost tracks actual usage
  • Designed to be live in days, not quarters
