What is Agentic Performance Intelligence?

Agentic Performance Intelligence is the category Sloane Labs created. Autonomous AI agents continuously sense human cognitive capacity across an organisation, predict performance trajectory, and act, instead of waiting for someone to open a dashboard.

How does Sloane protect privacy?

Sloane reads metadata only from work tools, never message content. Text is parsed and discarded, biometric data stays private to the individual, and every autonomous action requires user confirmation before it is sent.
