# Introduction

> Operators that run your back office while you sleep.

## What LeedAB is

LeedAB is an AI operating system for your back office. You describe your business once, and LeedAB hires you a team of **operators**: specialist AI workers (LeedAB calls them Artificial Beings) that do real work across your portals, inboxes, ERPs and spreadsheets.

They are not a chatbot bolted onto a dashboard. Each operator has a job, takes actions, and reports back. A **COO** ties the team together and sits on every screen, surfacing what needs your decision and routing the work. Every action, whether a person clicked it or an operator proposed it, is governed and written to a tamper-evident audit trail.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe your operation">
    Tell LeedAB your role and what you spend most of your time on. It reads your operation and hires the right operators for your industry, from a template or tailored to you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your team gets to work">
    Your operators land in a workspace, already briefed. They draft work, flag what needs a call, and act on what you approve.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You stay in command">
    The COO surfaces the next move on every screen. You approve, redirect, or ask a question. Nothing consequential happens without a human confirm, and everything is on the record.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Why it is different

* **It does the work, it does not just answer.** Operators take governed actions, not just replies.
* **One brain, one set of numbers.** Every operator and every dashboard reads the same live data, so they always read the same numbers.
* **Safe by construction.** An operator cannot exceed its authority. Authority is re-derived on the server, never taken from what the model says, so a hijacked or hallucinating operator cannot move money or push a change through on its own.
* **Auditable end to end.** Every action lands in a hash-chained log you can filter, export, and lock by period. Exactly the evidence an auditor asks for.
