Summary
- Reliable data about your people and org chart, built for AI to use directly.
- Precise permissions: everyone can ask, but only sees what they're allowed to.
- Mostly used by asking, through an AI assistant, not by opening a screen.
- Picks up useful details automatically, like from meeting notes.
The Idea
A simple employee directory, built for an AI-first world.
Peoplebase isn’t a full HR system, and it doesn’t try to be. It covers what matters most day to day: who your employees are, their employment details, and how your org chart fits together. It’s kept ready so AI can answer questions about it directly, not just so a person can click through it.
It’s an employee directory built for a world where most questions about your people get answered by AI, not by someone digging through a screen.
Permissions, Not Just Data
Anyone can ask anything. Everyone only gets what they're allowed to see.
The part that took the most care isn’t how the data is organized. It’s who gets to see what. Every employee’s AI assistant can ask Peoplebase anything about the organization, but it only ever gets back the information that specific employee has the right to see.
That matters the moment AI has access to real company data: everyone gets a useful answer, without anyone’s AI assistant quietly becoming a way around HR’s access rules.
Agents First
Mostly used by asking, not by opening a screen.
An employee asks their AI assistant who’s on a given team, or who owns a particular project, and gets the answer straight from Peoplebase. A manager asks theirs how their team is structured, or who’s responsible for what, and gets a live answer without opening anything.
That’s the main way people use Peoplebase: a quick question to whatever AI assistant they already use, answered from data that stays up to date automatically.
Quiet Data Collection
It also picks up what nobody typed in.
Knowledge about who does what usually lives in people’s heads, not in a system: who’s actually running a given project, or who took over after a reorg. Peoplebase can pick this up automatically, for example from meeting notes, so the directory stays current without anyone maintaining it by hand.
Better Together
Peoplebase + Onboarding Platform
New hires and org changes flow straight into the directory your company already relies on.
