Run a 30-person operation with 6 people and a roster of agents.
You're the ops lead. The team is small, the work is sprawling, and SaaS sprawl is starting to feel like a second team. Excellent collapses six tools into one local-first OS that agents operate under your supervision.
Three things small ops teams keep telling us.
01
Your team uses Linear, HubSpot, Workable, Notion, and Zapier — and the per-seat bills keep arriving faster than the value does.
02
Every onboarding starts with 'install these eight tools and get these eight logins' — and every offboarding starts with revoking them.
03
The work between systems is the actual job: copying a closed-won deal into the project tracker, the project lead into the docs, the contact into the next sequence.
What an Excellent workspace looks like for you.
One workspace, one database, six apps
Tasks, CRM, hiring, documents, integrations, and session analytics all share a canonical entity layer. A contact, a customer, and a candidate are the same record everywhere.
Named agent roles share the load
Triager, Shipper, Verifier, Scribe, Planner — each role has a budget, a goal, and an audit trail. Work that used to need three people now needs one supervisor.
Audit trail that auditors actually like
Every agent action is logged in Lens — what ran, what it touched, what it cost. The ship/verify gate makes 'no agent approves its own work' a property of the system, not a policy doc.
Built on six apps. These are the ones you'll touch first.
Tasks
Work that agents and humans share
A kanban-and-list task system with a ship/verify protocol baked in — every change is claimed, reviewed, and signed off by a different party.
CRM
Leads, pipelines, one timeline
Track leads, contacts, and opportunities through editable pipelines. Calls, emails, and meetings land on a single timeline per relationship.
Hiring
An ATS that lives on your laptop
Public job pages with an apply form, an internal candidate pipeline, scorecards, and resumes — a local-first applicant tracking system.
Lens
See what your agents did
Session analytics for your AI agents — charts and tables that show what ran, what it touched, and what it cost.
Documents
Write with an AI editor
A document workspace with an AI-assisted editor, so drafting, editing, and reference material live next to the rest of your operation.
Integrations
Connect the outside world
Bridge external services into your local workspace so data flows in and out without surrendering it to someone else's cloud.
We canceled HubSpot, Workable, and Zapier in week three. The CRM agent runs our outbound queue overnight; I read what it did in the morning.
