How it works

How it goes from one short scan to work that runs on its own.

Holloway is a Windows app in early access. It learns how you work, finds the tasks you repeat across your apps, and turns them into agents. Here's the whole route, with example data.

  1. 01Install it and say yes to a scan
  2. 02See your workflows
  3. 03Connect an account, if you like
  4. 04Watch one practice run
  5. 05It runs on its own, checked
  6. 06It keeps improving

Step by step

Six stops, from install to hands-off.

Each stop says what you do and what Holloway does. The demos use example data, and you can try them.

  1. Step 01 · Setup

    Install it. Say yes to a short setup scan.

    Holloway is a Windows app. Say yes to the setup scan and it runs in five steps, with live counts so you can see what it's finding. The scan uses details only, and you can stop it at any time.

    It looks at
    Which apps you use and when, file names, work websites, and how you move between apps.
    Not in it
    What's inside your documents or chats. Everyday learning comes later (step 06).

    The scan reads details, not what's inside your documents or chats. Stored on this PC, encrypted.
  2. Step 02 · Your workflows

    See the workflows it found.

    It turns what it learned into a map of the tasks you repeat across your apps, with how often each one happens. You never draw a process or explain your job.

    You do
    Confirm each one, or rename it.
    Built from
    The scan, what it learns as you work, and your email if you connect it and say yes (step 03).

  3. Step 03 · Optional

    Connect Microsoft 365 or Google, if you like.

    Connect your email and calendar, say yes on the consent screen, and Holloway also learns the work that arrives by email: requests, orders, approvals, follow-ups. You sign in on Microsoft's or Google's own page, so Holloway never sees your password.

    Covers
    Microsoft 365: Outlook email and calendar, Excel. Google: Gmail and calendar.

    It reads your email text only after a separate, clearly labelled yes. It skips health and personal-finance emails. You can turn it off any time.

  4. Step 04 · Practice run

    Watch it do the task once.

    Pick a workflow to hand off. Holloway does one practice run while you watch each step, in the apps that task uses. If it looks right, you say so.

    You do
    Watch once. Say whether it looks right.
    Then
    It runs on its own.

    Looks right? Say so, and it runs on its own from now on.

  5. Step 05 · On its own

    It does the work, and checks every change.

    The agent works in your real apps. After each change, Holloway goes back and reads the app to confirm the change landed, then writes a receipt. No receipt, no “done”.

    Send the weekly vendor report to someone new?

    The vendor's new contact isn't someone you've named before, so it waits for your OK.

    Always asks:DeletesPaymentsNew recipients
  6. Step 06 · Over time

    It keeps improving. You stay in charge.

    As you work, Holloway keeps learning how you do things. It takes screenshots and records your screen, finds more of the tasks you repeat, and keeps what it learns so it keeps getting better. Ask it anything in plain words in the chat, even about a specific email. It reads what your question needs and can do work, with your approval where needed.

Questions

Straight answers.

Short answers to what people ask most. Something else? Email support@holloway.tech.

Does it record my screen?

Yes, during everyday learning. It takes screenshots and records your screen while you work, to learn how you do things. It skips password fields, banking, health, and private or incognito windows. A visible dot shows when it's recording, and you can pause it any time. Recordings and screenshots stay on your PC, encrypted, and your company never sees them. The first setup scan uses details only.

Does it read my email?

Yes, in three cases. If you connect Microsoft 365 or Google and give a separate yes, it reads your email text to learn the work that arrives by email: requests, orders, approvals, follow-ups. It skips health and personal-finance emails, and you can turn this off any time. It also reads the emails a task you hand it needs, and the ones you ask about in chat. The receipt lists what it read.

Is what it learns kept?

Yes. What Holloway learns is kept, encrypted on your PC, so it keeps getting better. There's one way to erase it: “Delete all my data” in settings erases everything. Uninstalling erases everything too.

Do I have to connect Microsoft 365 or Google?

No, it's optional. Without it, Holloway still works in the apps on your PC. If you connect, you sign in on Microsoft's or Google's own page, so Holloway never sees your password. Learning from your email text is a separate yes.

Can a connected account let it change things?

Not by itself. Connecting an account never gives permission to change anything. Changes come from work you hand it or ask for in chat, with your approval where needed, and deletes, payments and sending to someone new always ask first.

What about sign-ins and two-factor codes?

They become a step for you, clearly marked, never a guess. So do apps it can't control.

How do I know a task really worked?

Every change is checked. Holloway goes back and reads the app to confirm the change landed, then writes a receipt. No receipt, no “done”.

What does it always ask about first?

Deletes, payments and sending to someone new. Email to people you named can send on its own after the practice run.

What is the practice run?

Before an agent runs on its own, it does the task once while you watch. After that one practice run, it runs on its own.

What can I ask in the chat?

Ask in plain words, including about a specific email. It answers from what it has learned, reads what your question needs, and can do work, with your approval where needed. What you type, plus what's needed to answer, goes to our AI provider only to answer you.

Can my company see what I do?

Companies can roll Holloway out with seats. The company sees results, like tasks done and time saved, never your screen, recordings, emails or productivity.
