Philosophy

Tranquil is a fresh approach to business automation unencumbered by decades of CRUD and motivations of entrenched application vendors.

Goals

• make business automation approachable and maintainable
• connect tech efforts with business outcomes
• incrementally adoptable
• engineering department friendly
• keep complexity from exploding at scale
• use deterministic building blocks over agentic theater
• escape vendor lock-in
• leverage quality and maintainability over time

Problem Space

• bouncing around many apps to accomplish a task
• dealing with a long list of logins, passwords, and authentication challenges
• keeping data deduped and up-to-date where it is needed
• writing long SoP’s to keep track of repeatable processes
• figuring out what app didn’t do what — when it was supposed to
• debugging broken bespoke calculations and scripts

Systems Approach

• promote good default choices
• make bad choices stand out
• don’t trip up at scale
• no hidden costs
• allow for human judgment and agency
• don’t create lock-in, automations can be run anywhere
• proceed at a pace that can be absorbed into the organization with minimal disruption
• results measurable over time

Expectations

• Start right away with automating tasks — not making process decisions and struggling with implementation doubts.
• Collaborative approach combining knowledge workers and automation developers.
• Rapid feedback loop: fast to create, test, iterate, and deploy to production.
• Collective understanding of company processes levels up and compounds over time.

Who We Build For

Organizations that depend on their knowledge workers, give them agency and responsibility, and believe in giving them the tools to be successful.

Tranquil’s goal is to be one of those tools.
