The team

Four specialists. One coordinator. You.

Plan, watch, report, bill — one agent for each corner of the work-to-cash loop, and Helm keeping all four in step. They draft; you decide what ships.

Atlas · Plans, estimates & extracts

Sketch the project. In sixty seconds.

Atlas turns a one-line brief into a draft project — phases, tasks, rate. Type a task title and it estimates the hours; paste raw meeting notes and it extracts the task list for you to create in one click.

Pulse · Scores project health

Catch what slipped. Log what shipped.

Pulse scores every project on-track, at-risk, or off-track, flags the tasks running late, then rebuilds your time log from the status changes you forgot to track — each entry with a confidence score, ready to confirm.

Herald · Polishes client language

Write the weekly update for you.

Every Friday, Herald drafts a status note for each active client, and polishes rough time-log notes into client-ready language with one click — progress count, phase callouts, sign-off in your voice.

Tally · Bills & forecasts

Bill the work the day a phase ships.

When a billable phase closes, Tally drafts the invoice — time logs, milestone fees, expenses — every line tied to its source. It also forecasts spend against budget and flags an overrun before it lands.

Helm · Oversees & coordinates

One agent watching the whole board.

Helm scores health across every active project, raises a proactive alert the moment something drifts, and coordinates Atlas, Pulse, Herald, and Tally so nothing slips between them. It flags the risk — and what to do about it next.

They draft. You decide.

Five agents inside the workflow
Why Mainspring

From kickoff to cash in the bank.

The work-to-cash loop — plan, deliver, report, bill — is where service businesses leak time and money. Mainspring's five agents hold that loop together. They draft the work; you stay in charge of what ships.

  • Atlas scaffolds the project — phases, tasks, hours, rate — from one sentence.
  • Pulse flags slipping tasks and rebuilds the time you forgot to log.
  • Herald drafts the weekly update so clients never wonder where things stand.
  • Tally drafts the invoice the day a phase ships — every line tied to its work.
  • Helm watches the whole portfolio — health alerts and next steps across every project.

What else is included

The workflow basics — plus what other tools charge extra for.

Board + timeline

Drag tasks across statuses or zoom out to a project timeline. Both views update from the same data.

Multi-task templates

Reusable checklists with day-offset due dates. Spawn an entire onboarding in one click.

Client portal

Send a branded read-only link. Clients see status, progress, and invoices — without a signup.

White-label brand

Your colors, your logo, your domain — clients never see Mainspring unless you want them to.

Live reports

Revenue, time, expenses, project health — all exportable to CSV.

Role-based access

Admin / member / viewer roles with row-level security on every table.

Bills + receipts

Track vendor bills, scan receipts, reconcile against project budgets in one place.

Workflow automation

Trigger multi-step automations — schedules, approvals, AI steps — that run the busywork around your projects.

Project intake queue

Collect project requests, triage them (review, approve, hold, deny), and convert approved ones into live projects.

Budget overrun forecasting

Tally projects spend against budget and flags an overrun before it happens — not after the invoice.
