The strategic-move engine
for CXOs who lead, not just brief.
PlayStudio decomposes strategic initiatives into Plays — human + agent steps that run end-to-end across Microsoft 365, Teams, email and XI. Outcomes loop back into governance. Strategy doesn't drift; it ships.
Built for CFOs, COOs, CROs accountable for outcomes
Built around how a CXO actually works.
"The One Thing" — your single most important item right now. "Two Things That Can Wait" — what's next-up. Pending decisions queue routed to you. KPI deltas. Team activity. Xami co-pilot rail.
No more "open the dashboard, see seventeen panels, close it." The CXO opens this once a day and knows what to do in 30 seconds.
The anti-pattern of every other CXO dashboard
Initiatives committed in XI arrive here.
When the CEO commits an initiative in XI, it lands in the relevant workspace's Roadmap Inbox. The CXO triages each one — Plan it · Defer · Reject. No initiative gets lost in someone's calendar.
Four tabs separate New, Planning (in discovery), Active (running plays), and Recurring (BAU). Recurring work — monthly close, weekly pipeline, vendor reviews — is first-class, not an afterthought.
From strategy to execution, tracedStrategic moves, decomposed and run.
Each Play has a sequence of steps — some human, some agent — running in order. Live state per step. Comments and evidence threaded inline. Agent run history available on every step for audit.
When conditions change, operators replan mid-flight. The system re-decomposes from the current step instead of restarting. Plays bend without breaking.
Filter the index by status, domain, or assignee. Domain-scoped — finance operators see only finance plays; the CFO sees all of finance; the CEO sees everything.
No Play without a KR it's trying to move
Show your work. Before you commit a play.
The planner is a graph — nodes are steps, edges are dependencies, columns are execution depth, rows are swimlanes. Decisions, comms, waits and tasks are first-class node types. Every step has an owner, a window, and an execution mode: human, agent-with-review, or autonomous.
Before you launch, the planner shows three things you can't get from a project tracker:
- Pattern-library match — "4 priors, 3 hit margin target within 10%" — the structural ancestry of this move.
- Risks Xami surfaced — SLAs on critical path, partner push-back, missing agent bindings — before you launch, not after you slip.
- Agent coverage — which Hands agent will run which step. Missing one? Bind it inline.
What only the people closest to the work can see.
Operators submit risks, opportunities, client requests, anomalies. Xami classifies and routes each Spot into one of three honest dispositions:
- Attach — evidence on an existing live Play (a step comment, threaded)
- New work — triggers a new Play or decision card to the right approver
- Signal — filed as intelligence; XI's next analysis cycle uses it
External partners and customers can also file Spots via token-protected forms. Bottom-up isn't limited to employees.
Every spot has a visible destinationReady templates. Or a Xami-led interview when nothing fits.
A growing catalogue of templates covers common strategic moves across Distribution, Healthcare, Professional Services and more. Pick a template, configure it, run it.
When no template matches the move, Xami runs a Discovery interview — voice-guided, structured — and outputs a custom Play composed from first principles. Every Discovery output becomes a candidate template for the next customer.
First Play running in minutes, not weeks
60+ agents shipped. Install, fork, or build your own.
Hands is the operational agent layer of PlayStudio. Real workers across every CXO domain — each with a versioned personality, an accountable owner, an eval pass-rate, and an operational status. The full agent lifecycle lives in one place.
A growing catalogue across Sales, Marketing, Ops, Finance, Strategy, HR, Legal and General. Public Library, Company Library, My Hands. Filter by domain and industry. Install with one click, or fork & customise to your workspace.
Build a new agent across eight surfaces — identity, personality, tools & skills, input/output schemas, runtime config, evals and governance. An Eval gate blocks publish until the agent passes the eval set. No mystery automation reaches production.
Where agents act: Hands agents act on the surfaces operators already use — Microsoft 365, Teams, email and a co-working desktop. Not on a separate "agent dashboard." Production runs feed calibration data back. New runs are gated by personality version and policy. Every agent step in a Play has an audit trail.
Two named classes across the platform: Xami is XI's strategic co-pilot — Discovery interviews, risk surfacing, outcome narration. Hands is PlayStudio's operational fleet — the agents that actually run steps inside a Play.
Every Play threads back to strategy.
When a Play finishes, the system captures what actually changed: KR movement, qualitative result, time-to-completion, what surprised us. No spreadsheet round-trip. No "let me put together a deck."
Captured outcomes flow into XI's governance. KRs update. If the metric slipped, the CxO Inbox surfaces it. If the metric overshot, the system recalibrates its scoring for similar future moves.
A project tracker tells you "task done."
PlayStudio tells you "metric moved."
PlayStudio is built for operators too.
Each operator gets a personal queue scoped to assigned steps and decisions across all running plays. No hunting through a dozen plays to find what needs you next.
Domain enforcement is a first-class control — operators see only their domain (e.g. finance operators see finance plays); the CFO sees all of finance; the CEO sees everything.
A Daily Brief surface is today-shaped — the most useful 8-second read of what changed since yesterday.
Domain-scoped: see what's yoursXI commits the roadmap. PlayStudio runs it. Outcomes return.
PlayStudio sits at the execution corner of the loop. It picks up where XI's Roadmap commits leave off and runs the work — then hands measured outcomes back to XI's governance. See the full loop on the Platform page →
Built for CXOs who lead, not just brief.
CXO-as-tenant workspaces. Each leader gets their own surface; cross-CXO Plays are first-class.
Quarterly strategy refresh as a Play. Cross-functional moves that touch every domain. CEO Inbox of pending decisions.
Month-end close as a recurring Play. Finance ops automation. Vendor review cadences. Annual planning workflows.
Pipeline ops as orchestrated Plays. Account-based moves with mixed human + agent steps. Quarterly territory reviews.
Service delivery, supplier management, internal-process rollouts. Operational change as a tracked Play, not a hope.
