Chief of Staff runs in the Muin platform today: start a 30-day trial on a Platform Plan. A standalone Chief of Staff product comes later; you can get one email when it opens on the Chief of Staff page.
Chief of Staff is a Solution sold per seat. Each seat gives one person an assistant that reads their part of the organization along the reporting line.
The briefing
Each weekday morning the seat writes a briefing in four sections, always in this order:
- Team status for the people below the person in the reporting line.
- Approvals waiting on the person.
- Risks in their area.
- Value delivered in their area.
The person sees it on the Chief of Staff page, and hears about it by their own notification settings: in the app, by mobile push and by email.
Three seat tiers
The tier decides how far down the reporting line the briefing reaches.
| Tier | Reach | Per seat a month |
|---|---|---|
| Manager | The people who report directly to the person | $50 |
| Director | Two levels down | $75 |
| Executive | Everyone below the person | $100 |
A yearly seat costs ten months of the monthly price. Seats sit on top of a Muin plan.
Limits it keeps
- Each section reads only what the person could already open. A section they cannot open says “No access”.
- An action runs with the person’s own permissions. Anything above their limit becomes an approval task for a person. The assistant never approves on its own.
- Each record the assistant reads is written to the audit log.
- Each seat can have a monthly AI credit cap. Over its cap, the seat still gets its briefing, written from records only, and the briefing says why.
Reporting lines
The briefing follows each employee’s manager in HR. Admins see the people a briefing would miss, such as an employee with no manager or a manager who has left, each linked to the record to fix.
