Why Tell Jules
Your employees know what’s costing you money. They often know how to fix it, too.
Tell Jules asks employees about the problems they face and how they’d solve them. You get one sortable report of those problems and proposed fixes, directly from the people closest to the work, so you can decide what to tackle first.
Free for two weeks. Start with one team of up to 25 people.
“Jules helped point us toward the themes and issues that were worth spending more time on. It also helped organize the feedback in a way that made it easier to see patterns and prioritize where to dig deeper.”

In their own words
What business leaders uncovered by hearing from their employees
-
“We’ve historically had a hard time getting meaningful, actionable feedback from employees through traditional surveys. The conversational format made it easier for employees to share more than they might in a survey.”
Todd SmithManaging Partner, Waterway -
“We captured more feedback than we’ve ever been able to capture, and we had more solutions than issues, with the issue and the solution in one shot.”
Antoine VialCEO, Kalungi
Will we just get a list of complaints?
Get the problem and an idea to fix it, from the same employee
The people dealing with problems every day often know what’s causing them and what could help. Jules asks follow-up questions to uncover both.
- 1
What an employee first says
“The machine keeps shutting down, and we’re losing production time.”
- 2
What Jules uncovers
“The dicer keeps clogging because the tomato pieces are too large. Cutting them smaller could prevent the jams, but I can’t change the recipe.”
- 3
What leadership receives
- The problem:
- Equipment jams are costing production time.
- The proposed fix:
- Test smaller tomato pieces.
- Where to start:
- Estimate the cost of stoppages and involve the production and recipe teams.
Now your team has a specific problem, a suggested fix, and a starting point for investigating it.

Beyond employee surveys
Your surveys show where employees are frustrated. Jules helps you find out why.
Surveys can highlight concerns. Jules asks follow-up questions to uncover what’s causing them and how employees would fix them.
| Typical employee surveys | Tell Jules | |
|---|---|---|
| What you learn | How employees feel | What’s going wrong and how they’d fix it |
| How employees respond | Standard questions | Follow-ups based on each answer |
| What you uncover | Scores and concerns | Problems paired with suggested fixes |
| What you can act on | Areas to investigate | Problems, ideas, and guidance on next steps |
| How often you can listen | When you run a survey | Continuously or whenever you choose |
Beyond consulting
Why pay outsiders to find answers your employees already have?
Consultants bring outside expertise, but your employees often know the operational problems best because they deal with them every day.
Jules gives you a direct way to hear their problems and ideas, across your business.
| Traditional consulting | Tell Jules | |
|---|---|---|
| Where answers come from | Outside expertise and benchmarks | Employees doing the work |
| Who gets heard | Typically a selected group | Everyone you invite |
| When you get insights | During a project | As conversations happen |
| How often you can listen | Through new engagements | Whenever you need |
| What you pay | Project-based consulting fees | A flat monthly fee |
Your next cost-saving idea could already be sitting with someone on your payroll.

FAQ
Everything you need to know before trying Tell Jules
-
We already have meetings, surveys, and an open-door policy. Why add Tell Jules?
Those are valuable ways to hear from employees, but some problems and ideas never come up in surveys or conversations with managers.
Tell Jules gives everyone a private, one-on-one conversation, with follow-up questions that uncover what’s going wrong and how employees would fix it. You get insights you might otherwise miss, without replacing the ways you already communicate.
-
Won’t employees hold back or just tell the AI what it wants to hear?
Jules has no preferred answers. It listens, asks follow-up questions, and helps employees explain their problems and ideas in their own words.
Employees can participate confidentially, without a manager present. And we’ve found that many employees enjoy talking or chatting with Jules.
Try it free with up to 25 employees and see what your own team shares.
-
What if we raise expectations and can’t fix everything?
Employees generally don’t expect you to fix everything. They want to know they’re being heard.
You can use your existing decision-making process to choose which ideas to implement, or we can help you with our own processes.
Either way, you decide which ideas are worth pursuing and how to communicate those decisions to your team.
-
Will employees be identifiable in the findings?
You decide. You can have problems and ideas attributed to individual employees or offer confidential conversations so people can share their experiences more privately.
You choose the approach that works best for your team during setup.
-
Is employee information safe with an AI interviewer?
Yes. Tell Jules operates as a closed system, with no connection to your company’s internal software or databases.
Your data is never used to train AI models, and that commitment is included in your contract. Jules uses HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant infrastructure, limits access to the people you authorize, and supports data deletion on request.
-
Will this take time our managers don’t have?
No additional employee interviews or meetings are required. Employees talk or chat with Jules for about seven minutes, at a time that works with their shift.
Jules handles the conversations and organizes the findings. Your leaders can then review the results and use their existing process to decide what to act on.
-
We’re reorganizing or in a busy season. Should we wait?
You don’t have to. Jules takes about seven minutes per employee, with no app to install or systems to integrate.
And periods of change can be especially useful times to hear from employees. They often see new problems and opportunities as processes, roles, and priorities shift.
You can start with one team of up to 25 employees and see what comes up.
-
Why pay for Tell Jules instead of an inexpensive survey tool?
Because one good employee idea could pay for your entire annual subscription.
Surveys can show how employees feel. Jules goes further by asking what’s causing problems and how the people doing the work would fix them.
You get specific problems paired with employee-suggested solutions, plus guidance on their potential financial impact, risks, and teams to involve.
-
Who sees the findings?
You decide who gets access. In The Jules Box, our app, you control which people can view your employees’ problems, ideas, and reports.
Only the people you authorize can access the findings.
