Wingspan for contractor payroll, Zellis for UK payroll and HR through Microsoft Copilot, Workshop for internal comms, Semaphore for CI/CD pipelines, Phave for marketing automation, all on September 23 and 24. Every one inherits permissions from the source system, and several keep the final write inside their own UI (HR Tech Edge). Wingspan explicitly keeps payment approval in its own product: the agent reads and drafts, the vendor executes. That split is the working template for exposing money-moving software to outside agents, and I'd steal it directly for anything with irreversible side effects.

Posted to Show HN on September 4, it's a Rust loop engine that dispatches Claude, Codex, Hermes, Pi or NanoClaw against a codebase on a schedule, each run in a fresh isolated workbench inside a tmux session to prevent state leakage, with watchdog monitoring and REST, MCP and w...
