One place to see the work between your apps.
TAO is the operating layer your team works inside. Email, calendar, contacts, workflows, approvals, accounting — every surface is one click away in the same shell, sharing the same context.
One shell, one shared brain
Most operational software gives you another isolated dashboard. TAO is the layer your team works inside. Email, calendar, contacts, workflows, approvals, accounting — every surface is one click away in the same shell, sharing the same context.
- No tab-juggling. Modules are panes in one workspace, not separate apps.
- Andy sees across modules — the calendar event behind the email behind the workflow.
- Operator-grade keyboard navigation across the whole shell.
Built around three people
Operators run the day. Owners watch the business. Developers extend the layer. TAO is built so each can find what they need without learning the others’ vocabulary.
- For operators — the work is in the workspace, not in seven tabs.
- For owners — the operational record is visible, not buried in inboxes.
- For developers — a REST API and SDK reach in where you need them.
The win is not a new module. The win is that Andy can finally see across all of them.
Provider connections, not provider replacements
TAO connects to the systems your business already pays for — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Xero, QuickBooks, Current RMS. We do not try to be the new email client or the new accounting system. We are the layer that makes them work together.
- Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 through OAuth 2.0 with least-privilege scopes.
- Xero with granular OAuth scopes; QuickBooks and Current RMS through provider-specific OAuth.
- Disconnect any provider and the local operational record stays with you.
For technical readers
The TAO platform is a Python/FastAPI backend with a React (Next.js) frontend. Sessions are owned server-side via HttpOnly cookies; provider OAuth tokens are stored encrypted at rest and never exposed to the browser. Every provider call is per-workspace scoped.
The same Next.js app powers both the authenticated workspace and the public marketing surface, so brand and behaviour stay parity-aligned across login.
