Handover Works Book a consultation

High-fidelity
handovers & playbooks
in the AI you already use

A structured way to get an expert's knowledge out of their head and into documentation a colleague or successor can actually use. Tailored to your organisation and tech stack.

The problem

Knowledge that keeps companies running lives in people's heads, not in documents. Nobody has time to write it down. There's always something more urgent. When key employees leave, their knowledge leaves with them. When a teammate needs to cover a vacation or sickness absence, they lose time trying to figure things out.

But "document everything you know" is a paralysing brief. You don't know where to start. You can't tell how much detail is enough. What's obvious to you won't be obvious to someone else. The standard handover is a couple of calls and a half-finished document.

The method

A chat with an AI agent generates a table of contents, identifying the chapters that cover your role.

The agent then interviews you, one chapter at a time, question by follow-up question. Your answers, however rough, transform into a well-structured document.

You review and approve each draft as it's written. If you like, the agent can scan your files and attach related links.

It never invents. When something is missing, it flags the gap rather than filling it with a plausible guess.

The handover workflow: Prepare, then Interview across 13 chapters, then Validate, then Output. Each chapter cycles through AI asks questions, expert answers, AI synthesises, expert reviews, with 2 to 3 questions per round and no invention.
The workflow. Green steps are the AI, orange steps are you. Each chapter loops until you approve it.

The same method, whatever AI you use

The handover agent works inside whatever AI and IT tools your business runs on. Your data stays in the systems you already use. Nothing new to install, no separate tool to buy. The four examples below show the agent in action in different systems. If your stack is different, the same method can be built for it.

Claude — where it started

The original agent came out of a long Claude thread. It tracks detail across every chapter and creates the files itself, as Markdown or Google Docs, without extra plumbing.

Under the hood: cross-chapter memory and native file creation. Connect to Google Drive, Calendar and Mail to surface relevant files and details.

Gemini — perfect for Google Workspace

Built as a Gemini Gem or Gemini-powered web app, working directly with Google Docs. If your company runs on Google Workspace, the handover lives where your team already works.

Under the hood: upload files directly from Drive, writes straight to Docs.

Microsoft Copilot — for regulated environments

Built with Copilot Studio and Power Automate, running on either Anthropic Sonnet 4.6 or OpenAI GPT-5.5. It searches the user's own SharePoint and OneDrive to find related files and attach them to the right chapter. The whole handover stays inside your Microsoft tenant.

Under the hood: flexible model choice, file search, resumable state across sessions, Microsoft-native connectors only. No third-party services and no extra licences like AI Builder. Data never leaves your tenant.

Mistral — EU-sovereign LLM build

Built on Mistral, for companies that need their data on a European LLM. Just as capable as the other implementations. Connects with a wide range of services, from Google Mail and Outlook to Atlassian and Slack. It presents each approved chapter in-window for you to edit directly.

Under the hood: runs on an EU-sovereign model. Wide range of connectors. Canvas editing.

The results from Version 1

13
chapters captured
~10,000
words of documentation
~15 hrs
of expert time, over two weeks

Written from scratch, that's 40 to 60 hours of work. More likely, it wouldn't have happened at all.

“The best and most detailed handover they'd ever received from a client.”

More than just a playbook

Beyond securing knowledge when someone leaves, the handover documents unlock a bunch of other use cases.

Structured data about how this role or department actually works builds a knowledge operating layer. A reliable foundation for building automation, improving processes, onboarding talent, and much more.

Prepare, interview, and validate produce the handover documentation of 13 finished chapters, which then feeds many uses: spotting automation potential, deriving company goals, onboarding new staff and teams, improving processes, performance management, M&A and due-diligence readiness, and securing knowledge while cutting risk.
One capture, many uses. The documentation isn't a dead archive; it's an input.
