AI on Hockystick

AI on Hockystick is an operator, not an oracle: it reads your data to answer your questions and drafts work you would otherwise do by hand — and anything that would become visible to another party stops and waits for your explicit confirmation, with no exceptions.

Philosophy

Deal flow runs on confidential information, so the AI layer is designed around containment first and capability second. Three commitments hold across every feature: the AI only sees data the requesting user could already see; it never takes a party-visible action without a confirmation click; and its scope is documented per feature — every AI page in these docs carries an explicit "does / doesn't" block.

Two agents, never one

Founders and investors talk to two separate agents with separate system prompts, separate tool sets, and separate contexts. The founder agent cannot see any investor's pipeline; the investor agent cannot see another investor's watchlist or a founder's private data. Where the two sides legitimately share context — inside a deal room — the agent works through the room's shared data and nothing else. The agents share infrastructure (the model router and rate limiting) but never context.

The confirm-first rule

Every AI-proposed action is classified by one question: would another human see a change because of this? If no — saving a draft, fetching a score, parsing a paste — it executes immediately. If yes — sending an invite, submitting a decision, approving access — the AI renders a confirmation card and waits for a click. There are no exceptions for "obviously safe" cases; the rule is structural.
