For the buyer who does their own homework (or asks their agent to)

I hate demos.

Fine. Here is everything Winslow ships, on one page, in writing, with no salesperson talking over a slide. Read it, hand it to your agent, decide. If you still want a demo at the end, we are happy to do one. If you do not, we've done our job here.

Everything we do, and don't do:

AI co-worker

Every customer gets a dedicated cloud agent. Skills, scheduler, connectors, and your MCP — collapsed into a Slack DM.

01
Dedicated cloud agent
One agent instance per customer. Own skills, own scheduler, own connectors, commercial LLM underneath. You talk to it from Slack.
Included
02
Skill files
Markdown playbooks the agent follows. Save, version, and share across the workspace. Slack runs them like built-in features.
Included
03
Scheduler
Cron-style tasks: "first payroll of the month", "first Monday", "quarterly". Pause, unpause, run now.
Included
04
Event-driven sequences
Subscribe to hires, terminations, comp changes, document uploads, invoices, payroll approval. The agent runs when the event fires — not when someone remembers to ask.
Included
05
Customer-managed connectors
Point the agent at Carta, Notion, Google Drive, or any MCP the directory offers. Auth is yours; Winslow never holds the vendor password.
Included
06
1,000+ integrations
Pipedream-backed directory. The agent discovers what's connected and uses those tools alongside native Winslow tools.
Included
07
Personas
Collection-scoped AI identities with their own knowledge base, tone, and behavior.
Included
08
Agent acts as the employee
Slack identity maps to the employee record. Scopes, field filters, and audit identity are the acting human's — not a god-mode service account.
Included
02

Payroll

Multi-state payroll. Run it, file it, forget it. Off-cycle runs are free, every time.

01
Run payroll in all 50 states
Federal, state, and local tax accounts handled. Hire in a new state, Winslow opens the account before payday.
Included
02
W-2 and 1099 generation
Generated, distributed, and e-filed. Year-end is a non-event.
Included
03
Contractor payments
1099 contractors on the same schedule and dashboard as W-2 employees. No second tool.
Included
04
Contractor invoices
Contractors submit invoices (including from Slack). Managers approve; approved invoices flow into the next payroll.
Included
05
Off-cycle payroll runs
Bonuses, corrections, terminations, spot payments. No per-run fee, ever.
Included
06
Termination payroll
Final pay as its own off-cycle run — kicked off when the termination lands, not as a manual extra cycle.
Included
07
Garnishment processing
Child support, levies, defaulted-loan orders — withheld and routed to the right agency automatically.
Included
08
Direct deposit
ACH by default.
Included
09
Auto-approve with variance gates
Compare this run to the last one. Net-pay deltas, missing invoices, unfamiliar deductions — auto-approve when it matches your rules, flag when it doesn't.
Included
10
Approval deadline reminders
D-3 / D-1 / D-0 reminders to whoever can approve. Employees don't miss payday because someone forgot to click.
Included
11
Approval workflow you can program
Approving payroll kicks off an agent process. Out of the box: notifications, exports, anomaly review. Customize with a skill file.
Included
12
Recurring adjustment templates
Gym stipends, bonuses, allowances — define once, apply on every matching run. One-offs still exist for spot payments.
Included
13
Pre-tax deductions
FSA, HSA, commuter, parking, dependent care — all handled at the deduction layer.
Included
14
Post-tax deductions
Custom withholdings, charitable matching.
Included
15
Time-off accruals on every run
PTO, sick, parental, custom leave types — accrued and surfaced on every paystub.
Included
16
Unpaid leave calculations
Automatically calculate payroll adjustments for unpaid leave.
Included
17
Reimbursements
Expense, mileage, equipment, per-diem — paid through payroll or off-cycle.
Included
18
Paystub access in Slack
Employees DM Winslow, get their paystub. "You got paid" notices go out on every run.
Included
19
We do not support hourly workers at this time
We manage payroll for salaried employees in the United States only at this time.
Included
03

Architecture for agents

If you're here for a reason, this is probably it. MCP, skill files, OAuth, events. Your agents drive Winslow as a first-class consumer.

01
Public MCP server
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt — 185 tools, full read/write, same auth as the admin UI. No bespoke integrations.
Included
02
Skill files for custom workflows
Drop them into your Winslow workspace. The Slack employee chat runs them like built-in features.
Included
03
Winslow Events + outbound webhooks
Hire, terminate, promote, comp change, leave request, invoice, payroll, QLE — persisted, subscribable, POSTed to your stack (Zapier, custom HTTPS).
Included
04
REST API + OAuth
Standard auth, paginated. "Login with Winslow" for apps that act on behalf of a user. MCP keys do not work on REST — by design.
Included
05
Writable system of record
No black-box objects. Read, write, audit, export. Your HR data is yours.
Included
06
Custom menu items in admin UI
Tools you build externally register as menu items inside Winslow. Lives where the team already works.
Included
07
Generative-UI tools in chat
When an employee says "I want to do X," Winslow launches your tool inline. Same pattern as Claude artifacts.
Included
08
Vibe-code support
Point Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, Replit at the MCP, build a custom HR app in an afternoon. Install it in the sidebar. We do not ship it for you on purpose.
Included
09
Native audit log on every action
Agent-driven actions are auditable as first-class events. Same trail as human actions.
Included
10
<code>/llms.txt</code> + <code>/AGENTS.md</code> + <code>/for-your-agent</code>
Machine-readable canonical summary at the edge. Your agent reads it in one fetch, no scraping required.
Included
11
get_api_docs
The MCP documents itself. Call one tool for OAuth, REST, MCP, auth, and a quickstart recipe.
Included
08

Security & trust

Boring on purpose. The page your security team sends back with no questions.

Annual audit. Report available on request behind a short form.
Included
02
Encryption in transit and at rest
TLS 1.3, AES-256. Keys rotated quarterly.

Layer-cake permissions
Menu, tab, field, API route, MCP tool — same checks, same order, humans and agents. All filtering is server-side.
Included
04
Role-based access control
Granular scopes. Audit on every permission change. Terminated employees lose access.
Included
05
Field-level access

What we don't do

Honest list. If one of these is a dealbreaker, save us both a call.

  • We are not a PEO. No co-employment. (If you want one, JustWorks is the right call.)
  • We do not have a Microsoft Teams employee experience. Slack only.
  • We do not run a marketplace of third-party apps. We expose an MCP and let you build what you need.
  • We do not sell separate IT or finance products. If you want Rippling-style device MDM or spend management in the same suite, we are not the answer.
  • For now, we don't do hourly workers (coming soon).
  • We don't charge you for every module you add. It's one price for everything we offer.
  • We do not gate AI usage behind seat counts. There is no "AI add-on." It is the architecture.
  • We do not negotiate multi-year lock-ins. Annual contracts or less.

For your agent

If you sent your AI here to evaluate Winslow, point it at the Agent Dataroom and stop reading. It is this entire site as one Markdown file — every feature, price and limit on this page, structured for one-shot parsing.

That's fair. Some buyers want to see the product driven by a human. We'll bring one.
