A productivity app, not a monitoring tool

Grow from where you stand.

One minute a day. Your team posts a line in chat or talks to the AI. InRoots verifies it against real work, tracks goals, coaches, and builds a score everyone can see and explain. Nothing leaves your servers.

How it works

Four steps, one minute a day
1

Post or speak

"Signed in. Shipped the export fix. Blocked on invoice PDFs." One line in K9 Chat, Slack or Teams, or say it to the assistant. Any language.

2

AI reads and verifies

Intent, hours, tasks, blockers and location are parsed, then cross-checked against Jira, GitHub and GitLab activity. Presence is confirmed with a light ping, never a screenshot.

3

Goals and coaching

Personal objectives get follow-ups. Stuck tasks get a nudge. Improvement suggestions cite the person's own work. Managers get a weekly digest instead of a daily hover.

4

One fair score, seen by all

Five weighted pillars, per-role profiles, a line-by-line breakdown behind every number. The employee sees it first. "/pulse me" in chat returns it any time.

Sovereignty

Growth you own. Data you keep.

Bring your own model

16 providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral and Groq, or point it at a local Ollama and go fully air-gapped. Standup text never has to touch a public API.

Offline geo and IP intelligence

A bundled GeoLite database classifies office, home and mobile on-host. Nothing is looked up externally. Location is consent-gated and visible to the employee.

Signed consent and immutable audit

Policies are versioned and e-signed with a tamper-evident hash. Every decision, weight change and auto-approval lands in an audit log you can export.

Self-hosted or hosted

One container, SQLite or Postgres, deploys anywhere. Or let us host it. Same code, same features, your choice of where the data sleeps.

No telemetry

The product does not phone home. No usage beacons, no crash reporters calling out, no hidden analytics. Zero bytes leave unless you configure a destination.

Minimal token footprint

Daily call budgets, memoisation and deterministic scoring keep inference cost near zero even on paid providers. The score is math; the AI only explains it.

Questions people ask first

Is this employee monitoring?

No. There is no desktop agent, no screenshots, no keylogging, no screen recording. The only input is what people choose to post. The output is a score they can see and question.

Will my team accept it?

Teams accept what is fair and visible. Everyone sees the same scorecard, the weights are public, every deduction shows its reason, and the employee gets their own coaching before a manager sees anything.

Can it run with no internet at all?

Yes. With Ollama or any local model and the bundled GeoLite data, the whole system runs air-gapped. Chat stays on your own Matrix server.

What does it not do?

It does not read your screen, your email or your files. It does not decide who is fired. It flags, explains and suggests; people decide.
