Do I need to know how to code?
No. You talk to it like you'd talk to an analyst: “add a card with total sales”,
“which customers dropped this month?”, “apply the corporate theme”. The tools do the rest.
Can I talk to it with my voice?
The conversation is text — and yes, you can dictate: the Claude panel is a real
Windows terminal, so system dictation (Win + H) types straight into it.
You speak, it builds.
What if I don't have a Claude subscription?
Nothing breaks: with the monthly plan (US$49 per computer) the PeopleWorks platform provides the intelligence and you work exactly the same. And without AI, i360 is still a complete dashboard editor.
Can I change how the assistant thinks and answers?
Yes. In Tools → AI Prompts you edit the Copilot's and the Expert's
instructions like in Word — headings, bold, bullets, zero code — and “Restore
original” always brings back the factory text. Your rules (“amounts here are in
RD$”, “the fiscal year closes in September”) become a permanent part of the assistant.
Which databases does it connect to?
SQL Server, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and OleDb/Access, plus the PeopleWorks ERP XML cube and direct SQL queries. Datasource Studio and SQL Studio are available today: the assistant sets up the connection and writes SQL with you.
Does the assistant learn my business?
Yes. You teach it rules once — “sales under RD$ 10,000 is underperforming”, “the format
is RD$” — and they stay in its knowledge base for every conversation that follows.
Does it run on my server or in the cloud?
i360 is a Windows desktop application: the editor, your data and your designs live on
your machine. Only the conversation with the model goes out —your question and the results the tools return to it— — through your subscription or the
PeopleWorks platform, your choice.
Does the iWorker keep an eye on things if I turn the PC off or it goes to sleep?
While the PC is off or asleep, no: it lives on your Windows PC, not in the cloud. With i360 closed, yes: if you turn on “Watch with i360 closed” under Tools, it starts with Windows next to the clock and keeps an eye on things as long as the PC is running. If the ERP exported data while the PC was off or asleep, when it starts the iWorker sees the changed file and checks it; with SQL, it reads once a day, off-peak. With Excel or other sources, it only checks while that dashboard is open in i360.
Does it tell me during the month, or only at the close?
At the close: it checks completed months when your ERP exports the closed month's data. With the PeopleWorks ERP, the XML is left by the ERP itself, through a scheduled task: nobody has to do anything. If you use SQL, on its daily read. It won't tell you on the 20th that you're behind; it tells you how the month closed. If a check finds a new case that meets the rule, you get a heads-up only once; if not, there's no heads-up, and today's report tells you what's on track.
What reaches my inbox, and who sends it?
i360 sends it from your own account (Gmail with an app password, or any email with SMTP); PeopleWorks never sees it. By default it goes at the discreet level: the rule, the month and how many cases, no names, no figures. You can choose the full level; the rows of your data never go. If the email fails twice in a row, the bell lets you know.
What does Claude receive from the iWorker, and who sees it?
Each month-end check doesn't use artificial intelligence: nothing goes out there. Claude takes part when you ask it to prepare the rule and when you ask it to investigate a case: it receives your request and, with Private Mode on by default, totals and shares, never rows. That conversation leaves your PC through your own Claude subscription, straight to Claude, and PeopleWorks never sees it; or through the PeopleWorks platform if you use the monthly plan, your choice.
