Firstweek is an AI-powered onboarding intelligence platform. It connects read-only to your existing tools (Slack, Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Google Drive, and more) and automatically synthesises a personalised, role-specific briefing for every new hire before their first day.

How does Firstweek generate onboarding briefings?

Firstweek uses a multi-pass AI synthesis pipeline that reads your company's actual content (decisions in Jira, conversations in Slack, documentation in Confluence) and assembles a briefing specific to the new hire's role, team, and seniority. A manager review step lets you annotate or adjust before delivery.

What tools does Firstweek integrate with?

Firstweek integrates read-only with Slack, Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive. New integrations are added regularly.

Does Firstweek store employee data?

Firstweek accesses your tools read-only at synthesis time and does not permanently store raw content from your integrations. New hire personal data is encrypted at rest. The platform is built with SOC 2-aligned controls, and a Data Processing Agreement is available for workspaces subject to GDPR.

How long does it take to set up Firstweek?

Setup involves authorising read-only OAuth connections to your existing tools. There is no data migration and no configuration required beyond connecting the integrations you want Firstweek to read.

Why do new hires leave within their first year?

BambooHR found that 31% of new hires quit within their first six months, and only 12% of companies say they actually do onboarding well (Gallup). Structured onboarding makes new hires 69% more likely to stay three years (SHRM Foundation). The root cause is usually not the role itself. New hires leave because they never understood what they were joining. Firstweek fixes that by delivering that context automatically, before Day 1.

Can Firstweek be used for situations other than new hire onboarding?

Yes. Firstweek is used for new hire onboarding, return from extended leave (parental, medical, or sabbatical), internal team transitions, and pre-retirement knowledge transfer. Any situation where institutional knowledge needs to move from your tools to a person.

AI-powered knowledge synthesis

AI-powered employee onboarding software that briefs new hires before Day 1.

31% of new hires quit within their first six months - not because of the job, but because they never understood what they were joining. Firstweek delivers a personalised briefing before Day 1, built from your actual tools, automatically.

The problem

Disconnection is quiet. The cost isn't.

The knowledge that would have oriented them was in your tools the whole time: the decisions, the context, the direction. Nobody assembled it.

Firstweek reads your Slack, Confluence, Jira, and more, and synthesises a role-specific briefing automatically. You never have to write a word.

Use cases

AI onboarding automation, built for every moment knowledge needs to move.

New hire onboarding

Context before Day 1. Not a list of people to meet - the decisions, direction, and dynamics that help someone feel like they belong.

Return from extended leave

Re-orient someone after parental, medical, or sabbatical leave. Everything that shifted while they were gone, synthesised into a single briefing.

Pre-retirement knowledge transfer

Preserve what your most tenured people know before it walks out the door. Institutional memory, captured and made transferable.

Internal transitions

New team. New context. Ready on day one - without weeks of archaeology or burdening anyone else's sprint.

Who it's for

Built for the two people who own new hire success.

Sales leaders

VP of Sales · Head of Sales · CRO

Your metric is time-to-first-deal.

Every month a new AE spends reconstructing deal history, objection patterns, and territory context is a month of pipeline you already paid for. Firstweek delivers that context before Day 1, so reps hit quota faster and the ramp-cost line on your P&L actually shrinks.

Sales & CS managers

Sales Director · CS Team Lead · Marketing Director · Revenue Ops Lead

You're the one re-explaining the account history.

When a new AE or CSM joins your team, you're the one who ends up walking them through account history, objection patterns, and who owns what. Firstweek does that before Day 1 - and works alongside your existing HRIS (Workday, Rippling, Lattice, BambooHR), so Head of People can co-sponsor the rollout without owning the busywork.
