Hey r/startup,

Wanted to share an operational hurdle our team ran into while building internal automations, and see how other founders are tackling it.

We started wiring up automated workflows to handle routine ops (like generating weekly finance summaries and routing internal support requests). Everything worked fine in testing, but in practice, documentation in a fast-paced team is almost always behind. Policies change quickly in Slack, Discord, or quick team syncs, nobody stops to update internal docs, and the agents end up executing actions based on outdated assumptions.

The only setup that reliably fixed this for us was shifting to a two-step process:

1. Pulling context passively from daily communication channels (Slack, video calls, shared docs).
2. Requiring a human team member to review and approve new knowledge cards before any agent is permitted to act on them.

For teams running agentic workflows or internal AI: how are you keeping agents aligned with policy changes as you scale? Are you using human-in-the-loop gates for every execution, or have you found another reliable way to handle context drift?

Hey r/SaaS,

After some heads-down building, we finally reached a point where we can share a major bottleneck we've been working on solving.

The core problem we kept running into was how disconnected our company knowledge was from the actual tools we use to execute tasks. We had automated workflows, but they were acting on outdated or scattered info.

To solve this, we built a middle layer that listens passively across Slack, Discord, meetings, and docs. A human on the team confirms what's actually true, and then we can use plain English to have agents execute tasks (like "Every Monday at 9 am, send finance a summary of new refund exceptions").

I attached a quick video walking through the core functionality and showing exactly how it captures knowledge and triggers the workflow.

I'm sharing this just to show how we tackled the problem. Would love to hear if other founders have struggled with keeping agentic workflows grounded in actual, verified company policy, and how you go about solving it!

Thanks in advance for the help!
