ActiveWorkplace

Make the record graph the workplace.

Pin any record and BuildWithHQ can resolve its permitted recursive relationships into one living work surface where people, GoClaws, workflows, and system actions participate around the same structured business context.

See the product blueprintWhy recursive records matter
Pin anything

A customer. A claim. An invoice. A project. Any record can become active work.

ActiveWorkplace is a layer over the real record system—not a second database and not a copied workspace. The root stays the root. Related records stay related. The workplace projects the permitted graph into one page and gives participants a shared place to move the work forward.

✓
Pin manually or by ruleAutomatically activate high-value opportunities, overdue invoices, new claims, escalated tickets, contracts, or any builder-defined record.
✓
Scope the recursive graphControl depth, relation types, record types, files, messages, modules, and maximum graph size.
✓
Permission filter before presentationUsers and GoClaws only receive records, fields, files, and relationship branches they are authorized to see.

Participants, not disconnected tools

Give GoClaw a responsibility inside the workplace.

A GoClaw assignment is more than an AI prompt. It can define events to watch, graph scope, actions it may perform, approvals it may not perform, escalation rules, and the human who receives exceptions.

Watch change

React to new files, status changes, relationship changes, customer replies, deadlines, workflow events, or scheduled reviews.

Use recursive context

Reason over the permitted graph instead of isolated rows, while respecting the same record and field security as the user experience.

Act within authority

Update fields, create related work, invoke workflows, call APIs, or trigger MCP tools only where the assignment allows it.

Escalate exceptions

Send approvals, missing information, risk, low-confidence results, and out-of-authority actions to Universal Inbox.

Record Pulse

Find open work that has quietly stopped moving.

Each ActiveWorkplace can track meaningful activity and distinguish normal waiting from work that is approaching a stale threshold.

ActiveWork is progressing.
WaitingIntentional pause with a reason or date.
At RiskApproaching inactivity or SLA threshold.
StaleNo meaningful activity within policy.

Graph Playback

Rewind the workplace, not just the audit table.

Move the timeline backward and reconstruct the visible workplace as it existed at that point: Pulse, participants, root state, related graph, events, and supported historical field values. Historical mode remains unmistakably read-only.

Understand how context changedSee not only what a field changed to, but what related records and participants surrounded the work at that moment.
✓
Replay human + agent work togetherGoClaw actions, workflow transitions, user changes, and graph relationships become one coherent operational history.

The evolution
Google Wave made the conversation the workspace. ActiveWorkplace makes the recursive business record graph the workspace.

Wave explored collaboration, interactive components, and automated participants long before modern AI agents. ActiveWorkplace applies that direction to structured business data, permission-aware GoClaws, workflows, and replayable operational history.

Google Wave is a historical Google product. BuildWithHQ is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

Turn the records you already model into work that can watch itself.

Use ActiveWorkplace across sales, claims, collections, support, legal, operations, projects, onboarding, customer success, or any custom SaaS workflow.
