We work with people leaders who want to build a modern, AI‑powered HR function. We plug into your team, ship the transformation, and upskill your people as we go.
Former founders, CPOs and engineers from Culture Amp, Atlassian, Squarespace, Quantium and ilumadata (YC S22).
Meet the team →No offshore pods. No layered account managers. The people on the proposal are the people doing the work — and they’ve built or led the very HR functions you’re trying to modernise.
Two co‑founders have been CPO or built the category. We speak HR fluently — and we know where the bodies are buried.
Not slide‑ware. Our team ships production AI into large, regulated companies — with evals, guardrails and observability from day one.
HRIS, ATS, LMS, performance, recognition, ticketing. Workday to Lattice to ServiceNow. We integrate into what you already run.
No vendor bias. We’ll work with the tools you have, or help you pick new ones — whichever serves your people best.
We start narrow, ship the highest‑leverage workflow first, and stay on the field while it’s adopted. No discovery deck handed to a different implementation team.
We map your moments‑that‑matter, audit your HR tech stack, and identify the three to five workflows where AI pays back fastest. You leave with a prioritised roadmap, not a slide deck.
We build and deploy production workflows — integrated with Workday, Lattice, JIRA, Glean, ServiceNow, and whatever else you run. Security, evals and guardrails from day one. We train your team alongside.
AI in HR breaks in surprising ways. We monitor, iterate, retrain, and keep your workflows reliable — and upskill your team so they own more of it over time.
Five senior operators. Founders, former CPOs, principal engineers. You work with them directly — the same faces from the discovery call to the day you turn the workflow on.

AI is only as smart as the context you give it.
Your AI assistant doesn’t know that Sarah just got promoted, that her team flagged low engagement, or what was decided in her last 1:1. That’s the gap we close.
We connect every system — your HRIS, your business tools, your documents and feedback — into one living picture of your workforce.
And it makes automations and agents actually work.
Pyn is used by people teams at companies like the ones below. Our consulting practice brings the same depth — domain, engineering, and stack literacy — to your AI buildout.
Logos are Pyn product customers. Consulting engagements are confidential.
