# Canopy > Canopy gives growing companies a crew of AI teammates that connect to their chats, spreadsheets and apps, learn how the business runs, and take routine work off sales, operations and finance. It runs on the company's own computers and a person approves every step. Canopy is built for growing companies whose work lives in chats, shared folders, Excel and desktop apps rather than one clean system. Its AI teammate Kago works in four roles (Scout finds what is needed, Archivist keeps the company memory, Operator does the work, Reviewer checks results) on the company's own computers. Every request becomes a plan a person approves; only a person can mark work complete. ## Pages - [Home](https://canopyph.live/): what Canopy does and how a request runs - [Field notes](https://canopyph.live/field-notes): articles on trustworthy AI for company work - [Why approval comes before action](https://canopyph.live/notes/approval): An agent that can change records is only useful if people trust what it changes. - [The company that runs on final_v3.xlsx](https://canopyph.live/notes/final-v3): Many Philippine companies don't need a new ERP first.

Canopy gives a company a crew of AI teammates. They connect to the company's chats, spreadsheets and apps, learn how the business runs, and do routine work such as answering inquiries, tracking stock and preparing reports. A person approves each plan and checks each result. ### Who is Canopy for? Growing companies, starting in the Philippines, whose work lives in chats, shared folders, spreadsheets and desktop apps rather than one clean system. Teams usually start with one task they repeat every week in sales, operations, finance or admin. ### Does our data leave the office? No. Canopy works on the computers that already hold your files. Your team chooses what Kago can see, and only finished results and their evidence travel to the person who approves them. ### Do we have to replace our systems first? No. Canopy starts from the chats, folders, spreadsheets and desktop apps your team already uses. Nothing has to be migrated before the first job. ### Can the AI change things on its own? Not without approval. Every request becomes a plan that a person approves, changes or rejects. Only a person can mark work complete, and every action is logged. ### How do the numbers stay accurate? Totals and reconciliations run as tested software, not as guesses by an AI model. Every figure links back to the message, file or row it came from. ### How do we get started? Book a call. We look at one task your team repeats every week and show which parts Canopy would take over. ## Contact Book a call: https://canopyph.live/#call
