Executive subscribers get Inferno mode, a high-pressure simulation with AI interruptions, eye contact tracking, composure analysis, and executive presence scoring. The product is built by Whirl in Florida and positions itself as accessible prep for candidates at every career stage.

Celayix is a workforce management and employee scheduling platform built for shift-based operations. It covers scheduling, time and attendance, and mobile workforce communication for teams where every shift must be covered. The platform targets mid-size and large organizations where coverage, compliance, and continuity matter, with modules for scheduling, time tracking, a mobile employee app, and workforce management integrations.

Where generic calendar tools stop at drag-and-drop rosters, Celayix automates who can work each shift based on union rules, certifications, fatigue limits, and cost. The vendor says it can cut shift-fill time from hours to minutes and fills open shifts with the lowest-cost qualified staff, including AI-assisted flows through Ask Celayix and AI Connect.

Operations teams in security, healthcare, hospitality, events, and manufacturing use Celayix when missed shifts carry real revenue or compliance risk. Schedulers get audit trails for labor rules, while employees view schedules, request time off, and pick up shifts from the mobile app.
