SURFACE AGENT
Turn people intelligence into finished work
Grounded in company context, informed by peer benchmarks, and shaped by experts, the Surface Agent turns questions into analysis, recommendations, and finished work.




WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Not another general-purpose AI
Generic AI has access to a vast amount of human knowledge. But knowing something and knowing how to apply it to your organization are not the same thing. Surface combines domain-specific intelligence with your company context, peer benchmarks, and HR expertise.

Your complete company context
LLMs are only as good as the context they’re given. Surface draws from your systems, policies, workforce practices, and organizational history, so its answers reflect how your company actually works.
Expertise built in
Paradigm’s frameworks, research, and experience across talent, culture, employment law, and people analytics shape how Surface analyzes problems and recommends action.
Benchmarks you can't get anywhere else
Compare parental leave, performance practices, onboarding, and other real operating decisions with relevant peers by industry, size, and talent market.
Generates finished work in minutes
Surface goes beyond analysis to create the reports, policies, plans, charts, and communications your team needs, grounded in your data and ready for review.
SURFACE VS GENERIC AI
Same question. Different class of answer.
Generic AI relies on broad patterns and whatever context you provide in a prompt. Surface uses your connected data, organizational practices, and relevant peer benchmarks.

EXPERTISE BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Built on lessons from the people shaping modern work
Through conversations with leading operators, researchers, and executives, we bring current thinking on talent and organizational performance into how Surface interprets signals and recommends action. Here's what we learned from Hannah Pritchett, Chief People Officer at Anthropic:

Hannah Pritchett
Chief People Officer, Anthropic
AI is a new team member
Hannah says rollouts disappoint when AI is treated as a tool. A new team member gets context, the bigger goal, and a clear role, and AI needs the same.
Everyone now runs a team
Once people delegate to agents, the line between managers and individual contributors fades. Taste, chunking work, and coaching become the core skills.
Efficiency should raise ambitions
Every CEO has a longer list than people to do it. Hannah wants AI's gains spent on that list, with people treated as R&D, not cost.
