How it works
From the team you have to the decision you can defend.
Four steps, in order. Each one uses only what you have recorded, and each one is something a manager can finish in an afternoon rather than a rollout project.
Understand your team
Record what the team is for, who is in it, what each person owns and where capability actually sits.
- Write what the team is there to achieve and the outcomes it owns.
- Add the people and map who is responsible for what.
- Record the capability the work needs and how well it is covered.
Find what is missing
See what is thin, overloaded, unclear or dependent on one person — described in plain English from what you recorded.
- Run a short check-up, or let recorded gaps surface on their own.
- Each gap is described in plain English, with how certain the evidence is.
- Where the picture is thin, you are told what would make it clearer.
Compare ways to solve it
Look at the credible routes side by side, with the trade-offs in speed, cost, control, effort and risk.
- The credible routes are laid out side by side for that specific gap.
- Trade-offs cover speed, cost, control, effort, risk and reversibility.
- Nothing is chosen for you, and no route is treated as the default.
Make a practical plan
Choose a route, record why, set an owner and a next action, then revisit it when you said you would.
- Record the route you chose and the reasoning behind it.
- Set an owner, a next action and a date to review.
- If it does not work, record a new attempt without losing the history.
Step three, in full
The routes MyTeamGPT compares.
Some gaps have one sensible answer. Most have three or four worth weighing. Recruiting is compared like any other route, and only leads into hiring tools once you choose it.
Develop people
Someone in the team is close to being able to do this. Grow the capability you already have.
Redistribute work
The capability exists but sits in the wrong place, or with one person. Move ownership.
Improve the process
The work is harder than it needs to be. Change how it flows before adding anyone to it.
AI Assist
A person stays in charge and uses AI to move faster on drafting, summarising or checking.
AI Agent
A defined, repeatable process runs with AI doing more of the steps, inside boundaries you set.
Specialist support
A defined piece of work or a temporary need. Bring in a freelancer, consultant or specialist for a stretch, and plan how the knowledge comes back.
Outsource
The work matters but does not need to live in your team. Buy the outcome from someone else.
Offshore
The work is well defined and can run in another location, with hand-offs and time zones planned for.
Recruit
The need is durable, sizeable and central to the team. Bring in a new person for a clear reason.
Do nothing yet
A legitimate answer. The gap is real but not pressing, so record it and set a date to look again.
Choosing Recruit opens the hiring side of MyTeamGPT. Everything else stays inside your plan.
What MyTeamGPT will not do.
- Make or automate an employment decision.
- Rank, score or grade your people against each other.
- Treat working style as a pass or fail input for any decision about someone's job.
- Guarantee legal or regulatory compliance. It is not legal advice.
- Pretend to be certain. Where the evidence is thin, it says so.
Common questions
- Is MyTeamGPT recruitment software?
- No. It is decision support for managers. Recruiting is one of ten routes it will compare, and the hiring tools only appear once you have chosen that route for a specific need.
- Does it make decisions about people?
- No. It never makes or automates an employment decision, and it does not rank, score or grade individuals against each other. It organises what you have recorded and shows the reasoning; you decide.
- What do I need before it is useful?
- A team, the people in it, and a sentence about what the team is there to achieve. That is enough to run a first check-up. Detail improves the answers, it is not a prerequisite.
- Where does AI come in?
- In two places. AI Assist and AI Agent are possible answers to a gap, and AI helps summarise and structure what you have written. The recommendations themselves are rule based and explainable, so you can see what they rest on.
- Do you assess personality?
- No. Working style is optional, describes preferences at a point in time rather than fixed types, and is never used as a pass or fail input for employment or hiring decisions.
- Does this make us compliant?
- No. MyTeamGPT gives you a clearer, better recorded basis for a decision. It does not provide legal advice and it makes no compliance guarantees. Your own obligations remain yours.
Start with step one
Add your team and what it is there to achieve. The rest follows from that.
