# CYC Group > CYC Group builds human–agent coordination infrastructure for businesses on the open Datone protocol. > We give a company an "agent layer": role-specific AI agents that read its live data, answer its team > in plain language, and coordinate work — with a human always holding final approval. It runs in > production today, and because the protocol is open, clients are never locked in. ## What CYC Group does - **Agent layer**: role-specific AI agents (logistics, finance, proposals, strategy, and more) that read a company's live systems and answer in seconds, in any language. - **One coordination layer**: people and agents share the same projects, timelines, and approvals. - **Human final authority**: agents draft and propose; a human approves every irreversible action. - **Open protocol, no lock-in**: built on Datone; clients own their data and agents and can leave anytime. ## The discovery stack (get found by AI) - **GES — Generative Engine Search**: be found, trusted, and cited by AI chat engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini). - **AEO — AI Engine Optimization**: structure data into knowledge graphs and machine-readable layers so AI agents can act on it. - **SEO — Search Engine Optimization**: classical search visibility, reimagined for an AI-augmented web. ## How to start (the bridge) 1. **AI Readiness Audit** — map workflows, data, and where AI pays off. 2. **Structured Foundation** — wire data and first agents into one coordination layer. 3. **Agent-Native Operations** — agents run daily; CYC monitors, tunes, adds workflows. ## What is live vs. vision - **Live today**: agents answering from live company data, single-company coordination, human approval. In production. - **Building next**: structured references between independent companies. - **The vision**: full cross-company coordination — one approval, both companies in sync, by reference. ## Relationship to Datone Datone (https://datone.live) is the open protocol.
