For founders
Scale people ops without scaling the team
People ops hires get buried in admin before they reach strategy. Buy the product that handles it, and hire for the work only a person can do.

Where it breaks
What falls through the cracks at scale
10+
Your first hires deserve real infrastructure
Employee records live in shared sheets anyone can edit. Payroll is a monthly scramble of forms and reminders. Half the founder's day disappears into chasing approvals. Taito.ai secures employee data from day one, automates payroll prep, and replaces the back-and-forth with workflows that just run.

Company knowledge lives in someone's head
Time-off requests pile up in Slack DMs. Contracts sit in personal Drives. Policies exist only as oral tradition, surfacing the moment someone asks. Taito.ai gives you one system from headcount one, so the basics run themselves before they become a problem.
150+
Compliance and reviews become side jobs
You're hiring across borders, prepping for your first audit, and calibration drags on while managers chase forms instead of talking to their people. Taito.ai ships with regional policies preconfigured, exports pre-payroll reports to your provider, and runs performance cycles end-to-end.
What moves the needle
The features that move the needle for founders
-
Automation-first
Time-off, contracts, payroll prep, and audit pulls run themselves. You buy the outcome, not another tool for someone to operate.
-
Slack-native
Employees book leave, sign documents, and ask policy questions without leaving Slack. No new login, no adoption project, no rollout email.
-
Regional compliance in the box
Statutory leave, working-time rules, and contract templates ship preconfigured for every region you hire in. No policy lawyer on retainer.
-
Pre-payroll reports
Hours, leave balances, and variable pay computed and formatted to your provider's spec. Export every cycle, zero manual reconciliation.
-
AI workflows
Onboarding, probation, recurring reports, and offboarding defined once and run forever. Every step of the employee journey, handled in the background.
-
Performance built in
Reviews launch on cadence, calibration drafts itself from real signal, and flight risk surfaces in 1:1s — not in exit interviews.

Frequently asked questions
We're tiny. Isn't a spreadsheet fine?
Spreadsheets work until you need an audit trail, regional leave rules, or someone has to find a contract that lives in a personal Drive. Setup at 8 people takes about an hour — less than the maintenance you'd spend on the spreadsheet this quarter.
Why not just hire a People Ops generalist instead?
Hire for the work only a person can do — comp philosophy, manager coaching, hard conversations. Don't hire someone to chase approvals, prep payroll, and answer policy questions. That's product work, and product is cheaper.
We use Gusto, Deel, or Rippling for payroll. Isn't that enough?
Payroll providers run payroll. Taito.ai handles everything that has to be ready before payroll runs — hours, balances, deductions, signed contracts — and exports in your provider's format. No duplicate system, no manual reconciliation.
We hire across multiple countries. Can you handle that?
Statutory leave, working-time rules, and contract templates ship preconfigured for EMEA, UK, Nordics, and US. Each region's rules apply automatically, so a new hire in Helsinki gets a Finnish contract and Finnish leave entitlements without manual configuration.
How long does setup take?
A founder workspace is usable in under an hour. Importing your existing data and inviting the team is most of the work — there's no implementation project, no consultant on retainer, no kick-off deck.
Isn't this just an HRIS?
An HRIS is a filing cabinet with permissions. Taito.ai is the product that does the work the HRIS expects you to coordinate manually — approvals, document generation, payroll prep, recurring reports. We replace the HRIS and the spreadsheets that sit around it.
