Fountain has launched Cue, a new AI-driven solution designed to automate frontline hiring and workforce operations with minimal human intervention. Positioned as the first autonomous intelligence of its kind, Cue moves beyond traditional dashboards to actively manage processes such as candidate sourcing, screening, and shift scheduling in real time.
Frontline roles make up a significant portion of the global workforce, yet operations in this segment have long remained fragmented and heavily manual. Cue addresses this gap by embedding agentic AI directly into Fountain’s platform, enabling it to execute tasks rather than simply report on them. This marks a shift from conventional software systems to a more autonomous, outcome-driven model.
“Frontline workers are the majority of the global workforce, yet frontline operations remain the least automated and optimized,” said Salim Jernite, chief product and technology officer at Fountain. “Software digitized work, but agentic systems go further. They run it, introducing a new era of autonomous intelligence for enterprise operations. With Cue, you don’t start your day with dashboards – you begin with outcomes. 12,847 processed applications and 847 filled roles in 14 hours. Cue doesn’t talk about what it could do – it reports on what it already did.”

Cue works within the context of the current workflow of an enterprise by utilizing multi-agent orchestration to continually optimize the hiring and staffing process. Cue can create, optimize, hire, evaluate candidates, and fix any staffing issues before they affect the business. The software will also indicate where the company is underperforming and offer recommendations, creating insights for executive reports.
Whereas conventional SaaS solutions require human intervention during their configuration, Cue combines the governance controls and human oversight into the process to improve reliability and adherence. With automation and intelligent decisions working together, Cue helps eliminate hiring delays and maintains workforce consistency at various branches.
Using Cue, Fountain is revolutionizing the management of frontline operations by adopting an automated approach from monitoring to execution through artificial intelligence.
