Do I need a lawyer to review what Tycoon Agent writes?

Yes for the employment-law-sensitive sections (anti-harassment, termination, IP assignment, jurisdiction-specific compliance). Tycoon Agent explicitly flags 3-5 sections per handbook needing counsel. The other 80% (values, benefits descriptions, work expectations) is publishable as-drafted in most cases.

Will it cover non-US jurisdictions?

Yes — UK, EU, Canada, Singapore, Australia covered well. For other jurisdictions she'll write the structural framework but recommend a local employment lawyer review. She always flags when she's at the edge of her jurisdictional knowledge instead of guessing.

Can it stay current as policies change?

Yes — quarterly maintenance check pulls new state/country employment law changes, flags affected sections, and drafts updates. You approve and Tycoon Agent ships the updated version. Re-acknowledgment from employees is auto-tracked in Notion.

What if our company is unusual (DAO, co-op, public benefit corp)?

Tycoon Agent adapts but flags the unusual sections for legal review more aggressively. She'll write 80% of the standard sections and clearly mark the ones requiring specialist counsel (e.g., DAO governance, B-corp impact reporting, co-op profit sharing rules). Don't ship those without a lawyer.

Ask Tycoon Agent: Write me an employee handbook

You'd think this needs a $4K HR consultant — Tycoon Agent ships a complete handbook in your voice, in your jurisdiction, in 6 hours.

The short answer

Tycoon Agent writes your employee handbook by combining stage-appropriate policy templates, your specific jurisdiction's legal requirements, and your actual company culture. She asks 6 calibration questions (stage, headcount, US states or countries, remote/hybrid/office, equity vs cash culture, tone), pulls existing fragments from your Notion or Slack, drafts the full handbook covering: company values, work expectations, compensation philosophy, time off, benefits, remote work, code of conduct, anti-harassment, IP and confidentiality, termination process, and an acknowledgment page. She uses your voice, not corporate boilerplate, and includes plain-English explanations alongside legal language. Output: one Notion doc ready to publish, plus a printable PDF for your offer letter packet. She flags 3-5 sections that need a human lawyer review for your jurisdictions.
