PRINCIPLES
What drives us.
Amplifying human potential.
Technology should work for people—not to replace humans, but to elevate them. So everyone can supercharge work.
Making a positive impact.
We believe AI can be used as a force for good, shedding light on better ways to manage your people and money.
Championing responsibility.
More transparency and fairness benefits everyone: our customers, our end users, our organization, and our larger community.
Protecting data and privacy.
Your sensitive data related to your people and money is just that—yours. You should have complete control and visibility of your data.
PRACTICES
How we put responsible AI into action.
Our principles give us a solid foundation for our approach. But we don’t stop there—we bring them to every step of development. Learn more about our practices.
Built responsibly by design.
We make safety and security part of everything we do—from assessment to deployment. We never share customer data to train third-party public models.
People first, always.
We put humans at the center of our solutions. And we design for people of diverse ages, technical expertise, domain knowledge accessibility, and spoken languages.
Crystal-clear explainability.
We make it easy to understand how we build, train, and test our AI solutions. You don’t have to wonder where your AI results came from—it’s explained right within the interface.
