Detoil is built around one insight: founders communicate, they don't administer. So we built a system that takes your natural communication — a message, a voice note, a forwarded email — and turns it into a completed, compliant operational output. Every time.
Every Detoil engagement begins with a dedicated onboarding phase of up to four weeks. This is not a generic setup wizard. It's a structured process where we extract the institutional knowledge of your business:
By the end of Month One, your Detoil instance knows your business almost as well as you do — and it's ready to operate.
Detoil lives where you already communicate. There's no new app to learn.
🎙️ Voice note: "Hey Detoil, we're taking on a new contractor, his name is Sipho Dlamini, he's starting Monday as a developer, R45k a month, three-month probation."
→ Detoil drafts a fixed-term contractor agreement, a tax directive request, and a Day 1 onboarding checklist. Returns for your approval within minutes.
💬 Message: "Detoil, I need the board pack for Thursday's meeting."
→ Detoil pulls your management accounts, the previous meeting's minutes, outstanding resolutions, and a CEO update template pre-populated with your recent activity. Returns a branded PDF for your review.
📄 Forwarded email: "Here's the invoice from the new supplier."
→ Detoil extracts the details, checks against your supplier list, flags any anomalies, and creates a payment approval request. Awaits your sign-off.
Detoil is powerful, but it never acts unilaterally. Every output — every contract, every payment instruction, every submission — is returned to you for review and explicit approval before it is actioned.
This is not a limitation. It's a design principle.
You are the CEO. Detoil is your most capable operator. But you sign off on everything. Always.
Detoil returns a clean summary of what it has prepared
You receive a document or draft with tracked changes or highlights
You approve, reject, or request changes — in a single message
Detoil logs every decision for your compliance record
Most software is static. Detoil is not.
Every interaction — every approval, every correction, every preference you express — is fed back into your private Detoil instance. Over time, the system builds a richer model of how your company operates and what you expect.
After six months, Detoil's first drafts are almost always right. After a year, it's anticipating things you haven't asked for yet.
Detoil notices you always add a confidentiality clause → it starts including it automatically
Detoil sees that board packs go out two days before the meeting → it starts preparing them proactively
Detoil learns your payroll always runs on the 25th → it flags if anything will delay it
Your Detoil instance is yours. Its learning stays within your company. It is never shared with or used to train other companies' instances or any external model.
Our design target for every Detoil client is a structured one-hour weekly engagement. Here's what that typically covers:
That's it. For most clients, this is achievable within six months of onboarding. Some get there faster.
