Agentic HR, built for operating reality

Build the workflow.Keep the judgment.

I turn messy HR operations into auditable, human-reviewed AI workflows—designed around the work your team actually does.

Not another chatbot.

Not autonomous HR.

A working system with owners, evidence, review gates, and receipts.

From idea to operating loop.

Start narrow. Prove the workflow. Add complexity only when the work earns it.

Built, not theorized

Systems I can adapt to your team.

These offers come from working OpenClaw patterns and a private HR Mission Control alpha—not a deck of hypothetical use cases.

Compliance intelligence

From source change to audit close.

A monitoring loop that scans employment-law sources, separates signal from noise, assigns an owner, and carries the issue through review, policy work, implementation, and proof.

Policy & knowledge systems

Answers that show their work.

A policy assistant pattern that cites approved sources, separates law from written policy and operating practice, names missing facts, and escalates ambiguity instead of guessing.

HRBP decision support

A weekly brief with a point of view.

A decision brief that turns fragmented People signals into facts, risks, manager follow-ups, open decisions, and the next questions an HRBP should pressure-test.

Private alpha proof

The standard is simple: preserve the decision and leave a receipt.

A recent HRMC regression and stability pass tested source recall, renamed-law continuity, edge cases, and the operator path end to end.

The method

One workflow.
Four decisions.

01

What problem is worth solving?

We start with operator pain, cycle time, dropped handoffs, and real risk—not a tool demo.

02

What must stay human?

Judgment, sensitive People decisions, legal interpretation, and accountable approval remain visible.

03

What evidence earns trust?

Sources, missing facts, owners, edits, approvals, and exceptions become part of the workflow.

04

How will we know it works?

Every build gets a verifier, failure tests, a stop condition, and a handoff an operator can actually use.

About Mike

Built by an HR operator, not a generic AI studio.

Alongside my HRBP work, I build agentic HR systems in OpenClaw: HR Mission Control, employment-law monitoring and implementation loops, source-backed policy workflows, and decision briefs that turn scattered People signals into owners, questions, and next actions.

This advisory practice sits at the intersection of those two tracks: lived HR operating judgment and working AI prototypes. The goal is not to automate People decisions. It is to give human judgment better infrastructure.
