Hawk IVO Force for users

Finish more work.Your digital workforce.

Build a digital workforce that plans assignments, connects tasks and completes work, from assistance to autonomy. Integrated skills, knowledge and work computers, with clear operating rules and activity-based billing.

A workforce that gets work done.

Finish more work. Build digital workers that turn assignments into steps, connect tasks and work toward results. Assistance remains a deliberate operating choice. Measure completed work against controlled effort.

Plan work and follow execution

Visualize projects, tasks and dependencies. Plan work packages across linked projects and assign agents. Execution and progress stay in the shared work context.

Configure the platform with an agent

Use an agent to configure and evolve agents, skills, projects and operating rules. You provide goals, data connections and approvals. Setup follows the platform’s existing permissions.

Scale work economically

Activity-based billing ties consumption to use. Model choice, reusable skills and run budgets help control effort and consumption. The agreed plan determines individual billing components.

An operating system for agents

You decide how independently each agent works.

One operating framework supports assistance, human approvals and autonomous work. Choose the permitted scope for each agent and task.

Skills, knowledge and operations in one platform.

Connected skills, integrated knowledge retrieval and cross-provider model access share permissions, rate limits and run budgets. Isolated work environments and traceable model calls belong to the same operating framework. Build capabilities that further agents can reuse.

  1. Assistance

    The agent researches and prepares. A person determines the next step.

  2. With approval

    The agent prepares an action and executes it after the required confirmation.

  3. Autonomous

    An event or schedule starts the work. The agent acts within its permissions and limits without ongoing chat instructions.

Triggers
Decide whether a request, event or schedule starts the agent.
Permissions and actions
Approve sources, tools and write actions per agent and tenant.
Your invocation limits
Limit how often triggers or published API access points may invoke an agent.
Budgets per run
Run, daily, weekly and monthly budgets apply together. Expected costs are reserved before model calls.
Permitted subagents
Choose allowed delegation targets. An agent cannot engage arbitrary other agents.
Work computers and virtual machines
Isolated MicroVMs act as work computers for data work, programming and complex tasks with files, intermediate results and tools. Configure the runtime, connections and permitted actions.

One budget baseline for every agent.

Company defaults and upper limits also apply to newly added agents. Individual limits and authorized exceptions remain controlled. If the available budget is insufficient, the next model call is blocked.

Operating model, not a product screenshot. Autonomy does not expand permissions. Executable actions depend on configured connections and approvals.

The foundation

Build once. Use across agents.

Maintain a capability in one place. Other skills reference it and multiple agents use the connected knowledge, so proven practices need not be rewritten for each agent.

Shared base skill

Write to your guidelines

These skills reference the base

  • Write emails
  • Create presentations
  • Prepare contract drafts

Multiple agents use the skills

  • Service agent
  • Sales agent
  • Project agent

Versions · approved sources · permissions per agent and tenant

Illustrative example: all three skills reference the same writing skill. You control assigned skills, dynamic discovery and permitted use.

From knowledge to work steps

Information alone doesn't complete a task.

Hawk IVO Force connects knowledge and work context with reusable work instructions. This lets teams handle tasks in a structured way and provide results for the next step.

Human teams, agent teams and mixed teams work on ongoing operations as well as on change initiatives.

Why the foundation matters

Every use adds reusable capability.

  • Connect skills instead of copying

    Maintain writing rules, checks and business practices once; reference them from other skills. Assign skills or let agents discover approved capabilities in the catalog.

  • Control how work happens

    Combine fixed workflows, dynamic tasks and human approvals. Configure tools, access and each agent’s responsibility.

  • Make agents available where work happens

    Choose supported models and tools for the task. Deliveries make agents available through website chat or an embedded interface, with configured access and permitted actions.

  • Control costs and usage

    Set budgets and invocation limits for agents and runs and track usage. Verify limit behavior in your concrete use case.

Possible manufacturing scenario

An absence should not stop the whole order.

A qualified worker is absent. An agent uses approved qualification, availability and order data, applies your skills to evaluate alternatives and prepares a feasible proposal. The shift lead decides.

Following approval, configured actions run and the people involved are informed. The outcome is a confirmed change with a traceable decision. This scenario needs connected planning systems and verified rules; it is not a documented Force production case.

  • With approval: The agent prepares an action and executes it after the required confirmation.
  • Your invocation limits: Limit how often triggers or published API access points may invoke an agent.
  • Budgets per run: Run, daily, weekly and monthly budgets apply together. Expected costs are reserved before model calls.
  • Permitted subagents: Choose allowed delegation targets. An agent cannot engage arbitrary other agents.

Control

People make the decisions where their responsibility is required.

Agents act only within the limits of what you approve.

Access and approvals

  • Agents use only configured connections and permissions.
  • Actions in connected systems are carried out in a controlled manner.

Skills and knowledge

  • Reusable work instructions as skills.
  • Company knowledge from approved sources.

Setup and operation

  • We bring software and the know-how to build and scale agent systems, and we help with the setup.
  • Costs, capacity and scaling are assessed for each use case.

    The people behind Hawk IVO

Decision guide

How does the approach compare?

Force combines deliberately chosen autonomy with concrete run and budget rules. The clearest examples are per-run budgets with cost reservation before the next model call, and defaults and upper limits for new agents. This comparison separates those controls from infrastructure quotas and usage reporting.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Hawk IVO Force

How do operations differ from Copilot Studio?

Force focuses on your agent system and the rules for every run: triggers, access, invocation limits, run budgets, allowed delegation targets and workspaces. Budget defaults and ceilings also apply to new agents. Copilot Studio also supports autonomous agents; Microsoft documents monthly limits among its controls. See the operating comparison for the specific differences.

Why not build it ourselves?

You can build a first agent. Further agents add skill versions, permissions, user contexts, model connections, logs and operations. Force provides platform foundations; your business logic and system integration remain yours. Compare the full lifecycle.

How quickly can we start?

With prepared skills and configured access, a first agent can be configured in minutes. A dependable process also needs verified data, permissions and acceptance criteria. Start with one task and show what the next agent can reuse.

Are we tied to one model or cloud?

Force is designed for different model providers, tools and runtimes. Choose supported options for the task; deployment, data paths and availability are agreed for your environment. Not every provider or infrastructure is supported.

Do we need Hawk IVO Plan for this?

No. Hawk IVO Force can be used on its own. Hawk IVO Plan complements it when planning logic or operational interfaces are needed.

How can this grow into a landscape of thousands of agents?

Large agent landscapes need rules that grow with them. Shared policies and controlled execution per run matter. Concurrent capacity is sized against your infrastructure and workload.

Company defaults and upper limits also apply to newly added agents. Individual limits and authorized exceptions remain controlled. If the available budget is insufficient, the next model call is blocked.
