How it works

A pipeline that shows its working

Tayl moves from the tools you already use to answers and recommendations you can inspect. This page explains each stage and, just as importantly, where the work happens.

The pipeline

Seven stages, one direction of travel

Availability is read from the product's feature configuration. A coming-soon stage is not presented as shipped.

01

Connect

Connect Google Workspace, Notion, Stripe and Slack through their own sign-in flows. Tayl reads the records you choose and keeps them current. Connectors start read-only.

Stop tab-hopping between email, documents, invoices and chat just to work out what changed.

Available
02

Context

Upload PDFs, images, CSV, XLSX and DOCX files. Tayl reads them, links what it finds to the rest of your business, and stores the result in its local database.

Contracts, supplier invoices and exported reports stop being dead files you have to remember and search by hand.

Available
03

Intelligence

Ask a question in plain language. Tayl answers from the connected and uploaded data it has, and shows the sources behind the answer. When there is not enough evidence, it should say so.

Get a straight answer about your own business without building a report or exporting a spreadsheet first.

Available
04

Decision

Tayl turns what it understands into recommendations you can check. A recommendation is only as good as the evidence behind it, so the sources travel with it.

Make a call with the relevant invoices, documents and messages in front of you instead of relying on memory.

Available
05

Orchestration

Once a decision is approved, Orchestration maps the steps required to carry it out across the tools you use.

Spend less time working out who needs to do what after a decision is made.

Coming soon
06

Execution

Execution will perform only the actions you explicitly approve, in the connected tools you have authorised. It is not available yet.

Close the loop between deciding something and having it actually happen, without copy-pasting between tools.

Coming soon
07

Feedback

Feedback will update the business context as the results of actions arrive, so the next recommendation starts from a fresher picture.

Keep Tayl's understanding of the business from drifting out of date.

What runs where

Local by default, cloud only by choice

The honest version: the app and your data live on your PC. A cloud LLM is optional, and connected tools remain your own accounts.

YOUR WINDOWS PC

Local app

Tayl, the local SQLite database, uploaded documents, business context, answers, decisions and evidence all live on your machine. There is no Tayl-hosted backend for user data.

OPTIONAL

Cloud LLM

If you choose a cloud provider, the content of your queries is sent to that provider with your own API key. Choose a local LLM instead if you do not want query content to leave the machine.

YOUR ACCOUNTS

Connected tools

Google Workspace, Notion, Stripe and Slack are connected through their own sign-in flows and remain subject to their terms. Connectors start read-only.

What is not claimed: the website does not claim end-to-end encryption, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR or HIPAA certification. Read the security overview for exactly what is and is not sent to third parties.
Cloud choice

What a cloud LLM sees

With a cloud LLM, the content of your queries is sent to the provider you choose. Tayl does not host that data itself. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern how it handles the request.

You supply the API key. You can change your choice later in the app, subject to the app's current settings.

Local choice

What stays on your PC

With a local LLM, question answering can happen without sending query content to a cloud provider. Your documents, SQLite database and business context stay on the Windows machine where Tayl is installed.

A local model has its own hardware requirements. The download page lists only the system requirements that have actually been confirmed.
