Pillar 02

1 The Architecture

Three layers. One agentic interface.

Shelbe is more than answers. It's the layer that knows your workforce, executes your workflows, and reaches into every system your enterprise already runs — surfaced through a single conversation.

Layer 01 · The Knowledge Assistant

Trained on you

Cited answers grounded in your organization's documents — never the internet. Permission-gated, plain-language, multilingual, 24/7. The manager isn't the bottleneck anymore.

Cited answers Permission-gated Plain language Native multilingual 24 / 7 No hallucinated policy

Layer 02 · Workflow Automation

Beyond answers — Shelbe executes

Context-aware agents that run guided workflows: call-offs, incident reports, safety checks, guest requests, care handoffs, PTO. The tap of a button replaces a phone tree, a paper form, and a manager phone call.

Call-offs Incident reports Safety checks Guest requests Care hand-offs PTO requests Custom · unlimited

Layer 03 · The Integration Layer

The software stack, collapsed

Open API + MCP server connectivity reaches into any third-party system — scheduling, forms, recognition, HRIS, ERP — and surfaces information or triggers actions through one familiar interface. The employee never needs to know which system holds the answer.

Layer 01 · Trained exclusively on you

The first responder for the information desert.

Every answer is grounded in what your organization has actually written — with citations, permission controls, and no hallucinated policy. HR, benefits, safety procedures, payroll, operating guidelines — accessed in plain conversation, 24/7.

Native language support means this isn't just accessible — it's equitable. Every worker, regardless of language, gets the same quality of information in the moment they need it.

Shelbe is the first responder. The manager isn't the bottleneck anymore.

Input · Why the data model is the moat

Build any agent. Run any conversational workflow.

Create a custom agent in minutes. Activate or pause it from the console. Each agent runs a context-aware conversation: it asks the right questions in the right order, collects structured data, routes it to the right system, and triggers downstream actions automatically.

Customer-built agents handle any guided workflow — call-offs, incident reporting, safety checks, guest requests, care handoffs, PTO requests. These aren't bots reading a script — they're context-aware agents that initiate conversation flows, collect structured data, route it, and trigger downstream actions.

If you can describe the workflow, Shelbe can run it.

3 The Integration Layer

Just ask Shelbe. Every system. Zero app-switching.

Through open API access and MCP server connectivity, Shelbe reaches into any third-party system your enterprise already runs. Five examples of work that used to require a different login, a different app, or a different person.

1

Need to automate a guest-request form?

Shelbe collects the request, routes it to the right department, and tracks the response — no paper, no escalation chain, no app for the worker to download.

Ask Shelbe
2

Safety procedure locked on a tablet in someone's truck?

Shelbe surfaces the SOP in plain language, in the worker's native tongue, on the device they already carry — at the moment they need it.

Ask Shelbe
3

Want to send a recognition shout-out to a teammate?

Workhuman · Bonusly · Terryberry — Shelbe routes the recognition through your platform of record without the user knowing which system did it.

Ask Shelbe
4

Need to pull your current schedule from your HCM?

UKG · Deputy · When I Work — Shelbe reads the schedule, surfaces it conversationally, and lets the worker swap coverage or call off without app-switching.

Ask Shelbe
5

Open enrollment question at 9pm on a Sunday?

Benefitfocus · Businessolver · Gusto — Shelbe answers from the policy documents you've already approved, cited and permission-gated. No HR ticket needed.

Ask Shelbe

4 What separates Shelbe

What it isn't. What it is.

Every competitor offers an AI chatbot trained on the internet or a generic LLM. Shelbe is structurally different — trained on your documents, executing your workflows, integrated into the systems you already run.

Trained on your documents — not the internet.

Every answer cited, permission-gated, and grounded in policy you've actually written. That isn't a feature difference — it's a trust difference.

Executes — not just answers.

Custom agents collect structured data, route to the right system, and trigger downstream actions. Conversational workflows replace phone trees and paper forms.

Collapses the stack — doesn't add to it.

API + MCP connectivity into every system the enterprise already runs. One conversation. Every system. Zero app-switching.

5 Angles to build from

Four ways to tell the story.

One pillar. Four buyers. Four stories that ladder up to the same truth: Shelbe doesn't add to the stack — it unlocks it.

Angle 01

Against the competition

Every competitor offers an AI chatbot trained on the internet or a generic LLM. Shelbe is trained on your company's documents. Not a feature difference — a trust difference.

Angle 02

For the economic buyer

Companies are spending on 5–10 software tools that frontline workers barely use. Shelbe doesn't add to the stack — it unlocks the stack you've already paid for.

Angle 03

For the operational buyer

Manager time recaptured. Escalations eliminated. Procedures followed correctly in the moment — not corrected after the fact.

Angle 04

The future promise

As Agent Builder matures and MCP coverage expands, Shelbe becomes the operating layer for the entire frontline digital environment — not just a Q&A tool.

The position · Pillar 02

The operating layer for the mobile and frontline workforce.

Shelbe is the agentic AI layer that turns your existing knowledge, workflows, and software ecosystem into a single conversational interface — built for the highly mobile and frontline, secured by your organization, and available the moment work demands it. Knowledge, workflows, and the entire third-party software stack — collapsed into one conversation. No app-switching. No escalation. No manager bottleneck. Just ask Shelbe. That's Pillar Two.
