The problem it solves

Employee questions about leave, attendance, and HR policy come in constantly over WhatsApp, and your team can't keep up with sorting and answering each one by hand. Requests get lost in the thread, responses are slow, and there's no clear record of what was asked or resolved.

Who it fits

HR teams at startups or mid-size companies fielding employee requests over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. An employee sends a message on WhatsApp
  2. AI reads the message and classifies what it's about
  3. The message is routed to the matching HR agent for leave, FAQs, attendance, complaints, or candidates
  4. The agent checks relevant records or calendars to prepare an answer
  5. A response is sent back on WhatsApp
What you get

Employee requests sent to the right process instantly

You get employee WhatsApp messages about leave, attendance, and HR questions automatically read and routed to the right process.

What you get

An automatic, categorized reply on WhatsApp, with related records like leave requests updated behind the scenes.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Workspace account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
