The model is
the easy part.
Calling a model API takes an afternoon. Getting documents in from email and WhatsApp, holding risky actions for a person, logging each decision and writing the result back to your ERP is where the months go. eClips Workforce is that layer, already built.
What's underneath
Workforce reads documents with Google's Gemini and runs most of its agents on Anthropic's Claude models. Both companies are named as sub-processors in our data processing agreement.
The honest comparison
Building vs. buying.
The work you take on when you build agents on a model API yourself, next to what Workforce already does.

The architecture
The model reads.
Workforce does the rest.
A Gemini model reads each document and pulls out the fields. A Claude model in the right domain agent decides what to do with them and scores its own confidence. Workforce handles everything around those calls. It takes documents in from each channel, routes them on your rules, holds anything risky for approval, writes back to your ERP and keeps the audit trail.
Every agent's output is checked against a written constitution before anything happens. The first rule on that list: never take an irreversible action without explicit human approval in the triage queue.
How Workforce worksCommon objections
What buyers ask us.
We already have engineers. Why not build it ourselves?
You can. The question is what else they could be building. Intake from email and chat, extraction, approval screens, audit logs and tenant isolation are the same work at every company. We have built that part. Your engineers can spend their time on the work only your company has.
We already pay for a model API. What does Workforce add to the bill?
Workforce is billed in credits. Each agent action draws credits based on the work it does and the model it uses, so a short invoice on a fast model costs less than a long contract on a larger one. The plans, including a free starter plan, are on the Workforce pricing page.
What about agent frameworks like LangGraph?
We use LangGraph ourselves, inside Workforce. A framework gives you building blocks. Workforce is what we built with them: the intake channels, the agents, the approval queue, the audit log and the dashboard your operations team works in. If you want to design your own chains, use a framework. If you want agents working on your documents without a build project first, that is what Workforce is for.
What if we need to customize it?
Agent types, outcome contracts, routing rules and the contents of your Context Book are all yours to configure. If you need an agent we don't have, we can build it with you.
Is this just a wrapper around a model?
No. The model reads the document and proposes a decision. Workforce does everything around that call. It takes documents in from email, WhatsApp and Slack, scores its own confidence, routes on your rules, holds risky actions for a person, writes the result back to your ERP and logs every step.
Ready to see it on your documents?
Bring a few real invoices, purchase orders or contracts. We'll run them through Workforce on the call, and you'll see what it pulled out and how confident it was.
