Your company already knows how the work gets done.Let’s teach the software.

Tellum turns your team’s know-how into AI agents that take over the routine work. So your people have time for the work that matters.

Our team has built AI for

Just like a new colleague.

On day one they get a computer, access to the systems and someone who explains how the work gets done. So does an agent.

  1. A quiet, sunlit office with an empty desk by the window

    A computer of its own

    Its own workstation, in the same applications as your team.

    Access to your systems

    Email, ERP and CRM, with only the permissions it needs.

  3. Loose sheets of paper and a notebook on a pale wooden desk

    Work instructions

    How your team does the work, exceptions included.

  4. Two colleagues talking at a standing desk in a bright office

    Part shipment if we’re short?

    Yes, always for regular customers.

    It keeps learning

    When it’s unsure, it asks. And it remembers the answer.

A smart agent still doesn’t know your business.

Every company has its own way of getting work done. The obvious steps are easy. The hard part is everything around them.

Give an agent access to your systems without that knowledge and it’s a very capable new hire on their first day.

  1. 01Agreements with specific customers.
  2. 02Exceptions.
  3. 03Missing information.
  4. 04Things people simply know.
  5. 05Noticing when something looks off.
  6. 06Knowing who to ask.

Intelligence isn’t the missing piece. Understanding your business is.

What this looks like in practice.

Two very different businesses, the same idea: an agent that knows how the work gets done, and a team that gets its time back.

Safe to let into your systems.

An agent gets real access to real systems. So it works under the rules you’d set for a new hire, and every step it takes is on record.

  • GDPR compliant
  • Hosted in the EU
  • Zero data retention
  • SSO and SAML
  • Your data stays in the EU

    Hosted in the EU and GDPR-compliant, with a data processing agreement ready to sign.

  • Zero data retention

    Model providers don’t store your data, and it is never used to train anyone’s models.

  • Only the access you grant

    Each agent has its own account and the permissions of the role, revoked in one place.

  • Every action on record

    What it did, why, and who approved it. Searchable and exportable.

  • It learns the process, not the people

    No employee monitoring and no productivity scores. Designed with works councils in mind.

  • Enterprise basics

    SSO and SAML, role-based access, data export and deletion on request, a named contact.
