Tempo

Tempo is an operating system for managing your agents at Tabs. Tabs automates the work every finance team shares. Tempo is where you put Tabs agents to work on what’s specific to how your company runs revenue: the checks, follow-ups, and fixes that depend on a Slack thread, a spreadsheet, or a judgment call.

You tell Tempo what you want done in your own words. Tabs agents do the work across Tabs and the tools you connect, and every change they want to make waits for your approval.

What Tempo can do

• Answer questions about any of your Tabs data: customers, contracts, invoices, payments, collections, and revenue.
• Take actions in Tabs, one at a time or in bulk, with your approval.
• Work with your other tools. Read and write Gmail, Google Sheets, and Slack once you connect them.
• Work with files. Upload CSV, JSON, or PDF files, and get CSV files back.
• Run recurring work on a schedule as routines.

How it works

Tempo has 2 parts that work together.

• Chat is where you ask questions and hand off one-off work.
• Routines are recurring work Tabs agents run on a schedule. You create one by describing it in chat.

Whenever Tempo wants to change something, like updating a record, sending an email, or posting to Slack, it proposes the change and waits. You approve, edit, or reject it. See Approvals.

Getting started

1. Open Tempo in the Tabs sidebar.
2. Connect Gmail, Google Sheets, or Slack if your work touches them.
3. Start with work you do every week. Describe it the way you’d explain it to a new teammate, then ask Tempo to turn it into a routine.

Good first routines are simple and well defined, like a weekly check, a recurring follow-up, or a report you rebuild by hand. Once a routine runs the way you want, hand off the next one.
