05 GARY / OUR PROPRIETARY AI AGENT
Not another tool.
Part of how we work.
Gary is Labor Group's proprietary, locally operated AI agent. Built around our business context and working methods, using models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers.
Local agent.
Multi-model intelligence.
Human judgment.
Business context & priorities
The problem, constraints, and intended outcome.
The gary agent layer
Our configured workflows and model-assisted work.
Human review & decisions
People remain responsible for consequential actions.
A conceptual operating model, not a live system monitor.
THE DIFFERENCE BUSINESS CONTEXT, NOT JUST PROMPTS
AI is not
the strategy.
The advantage is knowing where it belongs.
We use gary as part of our own operating approach—connecting business context to research, structured thinking, preparation, and implementation support. It is not a substitute for understanding the company, asking difficult questions, or taking responsibility for the work.
The underlying model providers and Labor Group's proprietary agent layer are different parts of the system. We do not present gary as a foundation model created by OpenAI or Anthropic for Labor Group, or imply endorsement by those providers.
IN PRACTICE EXPLORE AN ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW
Useful work.
Clear boundaries.
Choose a scenario to see the approach.

Turn an inquiry into a clear next step.
A new inquiry and approved business context.
Understand
Organize the inquiry, source, and business need.
Prepare

Review
Route the proposed next step for human approval.
A structured brief and a proposed response.
Purpose before tooling.
Start with the business outcome. Define the workflow before choosing which model or integration belongs in it.
Access with intention.
A local agent does not automatically mean every model call stays on-device. Data access and provider use must be defined for each deployment.
People own the outcome.
AI can assist the work. Financial, legal, personnel, and other consequential decisions require accountable human review.
Where could AI do useful work in your business?
Start with the workflow, not the buzzword.
