It is the layer that turns "we have a team" into a structured operation that scales. Taito.ai is an AI-native people operations system. Where legacy HRIS products were built to digitize forms, Taito.ai is built to remove work: a Slack agent that handles requests, automated reports that arrive in payroll inboxes without anyone exporting a spreadsheet, and onboarding flows that run themselves once configured. One product covers the lifecycle from offer signature to performance review, with field-level permissions, activity logs, and regional compliance built in by default. ### How Taito.ai differs from an HRIS A traditional HRIS is a digital filing cabinet — it stores employee records, generates contracts, and tracks time off, but every workflow still needs a person to push it forward. Setup takes three to six months with a consultant, and AI features sit behind enterprise tiers. Taito.ai keeps the records and adds an operating layer that runs the workflows. The Slack agent handles routine requests, automated reports arrive in payroll inboxes on schedule, and onboarding tasks fire themselves once a contract is signed. Setup takes days, not quarters, and AI is included in the base price — not an upsell. Field-level permissions, activity logs, ISO 27001 certification, and GDPR compliance ship by default. --- ## Product surface - **People directory** — Single source of truth for employee data, org chart (including dotted lines and secondary reporting), and custom records. - **Time off and attendance** — Multi-region time-off and attendance policies, balances, accruals, and pre-payroll reports.

It is the layer that turns "we have a team" into a structured operation that scales. Taito.ai is an AI-native people operations system. Where legacy HRIS were built to digitize forms, Taito.ai is built to remove work: a Slack agent that handles requests, automated reports that arrive in payroll inboxes without anyone exporting a spreadsheet, and onboarding flows that run themselves once configured. **How is Taito.ai different from an HRIS?** A traditional HRIS is a digital filing cabinet — it stores employee records, generates contracts, and tracks time off, but every workflow still needs a person to push it forward. Setup takes three to six months with a consultant, and AI features sit behind enterprise tiers. Taito.ai keeps the records and adds an operating layer that runs the workflows. The Slack agent handles routine requests, automated reports arrive in payroll inboxes on schedule, and onboarding tasks fire themselves once a contract is signed. Setup takes days, not quarters, and AI is included in the base price. **Who is Taito.ai built for?** Teams scaling from roughly 30 to 300 employees — the range where ad-hoc spreadsheets and a single Notion page stop working, but a five-person HR team and a dedicated HRIS consultant don't make sense yet. Three audiences run the product day-to-day: founders and small leadership teams who want people ops to run itself; people leaders who handle hiring, reviews, and feedback; and operators or compliance officers who need defensible records, regional time-off policies, and audit-ready logs. **What does Taito.ai actually replace?** Your HRIS, leave and attendance tracker, eSign tool, performance app, and the spreadsheets that sit between them. It integrates with payroll, ATS, and Google Workspace rather than replacing those. **What's not in Taito today?** Payroll execution (we hand off to your provider), full ATS, and learning management aren't in scope today. ### Setup, migration, and adoption **How long does setup take?** A workspace is usable in under an hour. Importing existing data and inviting the team is most of the work. There's no implementation project, no consultant on retainer, and no kick-off deck. Most operators do the full rollout in an afternoon. **How do we migrate from our current HRIS?** AI-driven import handles it. Point it at your existing employee data and transaction history — records, time-off balances, contracts, payroll history — and Taito.ai pulls everything in. Bulk import via CSV is also supported. The cutover is measured in days, not quarters. You keep the source system as read-only reference for as long as you need. **Will my team actually adopt a Slack-first model?** Your team already lives in Slack. Booking leave or asking a policy question without opening a new tab is the path of least resistance — adoption is the easy part, not the risk. The web app is there when employees want it; nobody is forced into Slack. ### Multi-region and compliance **How does Taito.ai handle multi-region time-off policies?** Country-specific leave rules — statutory accrual, public holidays, carry-over caps, contract types, EU data residency — are built into the product, not bolted on through a consultant. Add a UK, Swedish, German, or Finnish employee and the right policy applies automatically: parental leave entitlements, public-holiday calendars, contract templates, and the local nuances. When payroll runs, the report exports already reflect the correct accruals per jurisdiction. The same model extends as you hire into new countries — turn on the region, the rules apply, no migration project required. **Is Taito.ai ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant?** Yes. Both certifications ship in the base price, not an enterprise upgrade tier. Data is hosted in the EU with optional data residency commitments. Encryption at rest and in transit, single sign-on through Google Workspace and SAML/OIDC, and granular field-level permissions are built into every layer. Activity logs capture every change to employee records, with role-based access controls. The full DPA is available at ; security documentation and certificates are available on request. **Where is our data stored, and who can see it?** Hosted in the EU. ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, with field-level permissions and an activity log of changes. Sensitive data stays visible only to the people who need it. **What happens to our data if we cancel?** You export it. Full data export is part of the product, not a churn-prevention hostage situation. **How do AI features handle sensitive employee data?** AI runs on your tenant's data only and respects the same field-level permissions as the rest of the product. No training on your data, no leaking across customers. ### Pricing and contracts **How much does Taito.ai cost?** €10 per seat per month on monthly billing, €8 per seat per month on annual billing. One tier. Everything inside. There are no add-ons, no enterprise upgrade tier, and no quote-based pricing. AI features — the Slack agent, automated reports, no-code workflows — are included. **Is this price an early-adopter discount?** No. €10 per seat monthly and €8 per seat annual is the actual price, not a promo. The price doesn't reset at renewal. **Is there a minimum team size?** No minimum. Per-seat pricing scales from one seat to thousands. For larger teams, volume terms are negotiated during onboarding. **Annual billing: when does the 20% kick in?** At sign-up. Cancel anytime within standard refund terms. **When does access open?** Taito.ai is in closed alpha. Join the waitlist and the team will reach out when a slot opens. ### Operator and people leader concerns **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 just bought an HRIS. Why would we switch?** Most HRIS products are filing cabinets with permissions — you still coordinate the work yourself. Taito.ai does the operational work the HRIS expects you to run: approvals, document generation, pre-payroll prep, recurring reports. **Does this replace my whole stack?** It replaces your HRIS, leave and attendance tool, eSignature product, performance app, and the spreadsheets between them. It integrates with payroll, ATS, and Google Workspace rather than replacing them. **We don't have a People team — should the COO really own HR?** Operators run the company; they shouldn't be running time-off approvals or chasing signed contracts. Buy the product that does the operational work and keep the operator focused on vendor management, financial ops, board prep, and GTM enablement. **We're planning to hire a Head of People in six months. Why install this now?** Your first People hire will spend month one untangling spreadsheets and undocumented workflows if you wait. Install Taito.ai now and hand them a working system on day one — not a cleanup project. **Can it handle complex performance cycles — multi-rater, calibration, comp tie-in?** Multi-rater, peer, manager, and self reviews are first-class. Calibration tools surface outliers and suggest moves. Comp letters generate from the cycle output, signed in the same flow. No separate performance app, no separate comp tool. **Can I build custom reports?** Yes. The data model is queryable, and the AI workflow layer builds and schedules recurring reports — headcount by department, leave by region, contract status, anything you can describe. Reports land in Slack, your inbox, or your warehouse. **How do you handle audit and board reporting?** Every record is queryable, scheduled reports run on cadence, and changes are captured in an activity log. Investor diligence, headcount slides, and statutory reporting stop being one-off pulls and start being calendar entries. --- ## Blog and resources Blog index: ### Finland employment compliance Guide: — a single consolidated statutory guide for Finnish employers, covering employment contracts, collective agreements, working time, annual leave, and sick pay, sourced from Finlex and tyosuojelu.fi.
