The problem it solves

Tracking who was absent and manually adjusting payroll for it means digging through spreadsheets every pay period. You want a fast way to check attendance and make salary changes without opening a spreadsheet every time.

Who it fits

A small business owner or office manager who handles attendance and payroll adjustments directly.

How it works

  1. You send a command in chat, such as asking for the list of absent employees
  2. The system looks up the matching records in your spreadsheet
  3. It applies the requested change, like an attendance-based salary adjustment
  4. For open-ended requests, AI figures out which employee and what change is needed
  5. You get a confirmation message showing exactly what was updated
What you get

Payroll updates that take one typed line

Type a simple command in chat and your spreadsheet pulls the absentee list or adjusts salaries instantly, no manual editing required.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet and a chat confirmation of every attendance or salary change.

What you need

A Telegram account, a Google Sheets account, and an AI model 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.
