# Pulse

> Pulse is an HR Intelligence operating system that makes the "people world
> model" legible, continuous, and governed. It replaces static HRIS-era forms
> with ambient signals from your existing stack (git, calendar, Salesforce,
> HRIS), weekly check-ins (visible to manager + leadership), and company goals that roll up from
> contribution — not from re-typed status updates. Pulse is an MCP server, so
> any MCP-capable AI agent (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Ollama, Grok, Cursor,
> VS Code) connects in one click and carries the team's context without
> leaving the workflow.

## Product surfaces

- [Landing](https://hipulse.ai/): overview of the product, pulse signals, and goal alignment.
- [Manifesto](https://hipulse.ai/manifesto): Pulse's five principles — ambient over self-reported, weekly check-ins coordinate the org, structure emerges, HRIS-agnostic, start incomplete.
- [Security](https://hipulse.ai/security): k-anonymity on aggregated sentiment, RLS-per-tenant, SSO, audit log, OIDC.
- [Demo preview](https://hipulse.ai/live-demo): 4-step walkthrough — Org view, Admin setup, Pulse dashboard, Pulse interface.

## Onboarding scripts (for AI agents)

- [Org onboarding](https://hipulse.ai/onboarding): admin / exec flow. Establish the Operating System — values, principles, mission, vision, BHAG, painted picture, goals.
- [Team onboarding](https://hipulse.ai/team-onboarding): every-employee flow. Map individual contributions onto company goals via agent conversation.
- [Contributor onboarding](https://hipulse.ai/contributor-onboarding): flow for `os_contributor` users who draft proposals before review.

## MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration

- Pulse runs as an MCP server at `https://hipulse.ai/mcp` with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE.
- Register a client, authenticate (Google / Okta / OTP), and the Pulse toolset — `start_onboarding`, `start_os_onboarding`, `propose_os_*`, `ingest_org_chart`, and goal / check-in / audit tools — becomes available.

## Differentiators

- **Ambient over self-reported.** Pulls from git, calendar, Salesforce, HRIS — no forms to fill.
- **Weekly check-ins are visible to managers and leadership** (`save_weekly_check_in`) so conversations replace status meetings and inform resourcing; bilateral `upload_one_on_one` notes remain readable by manager + report. Aggregated sentiment keeps k-anonymity ≥ 5.
- **Structure emerges.** Company goals are set top-down. Department themes emerge bottom-up from contribution mapping.
- **HRIS-agnostic.** Pulse owns the intelligence; Workday, BambooHR, Rippling, or a CSV are all adapters behind one abstraction.
- **Start incomplete.** Launch with 60% signal and let structure accumulate with use.
