The problem it solves

Your team fields the same HR questions over and over: how much leave is left, how to file an expense, what the remote work policy says. Answering them by hand eats up time that could go toward real HR work, and employees often wait hours for a reply.

Who it fits

HR and operations teams at companies that get frequent, repetitive policy questions from staff.

How it works

  1. An employee sends a direct message to the bot in Slack
  2. The bot searches your HR documents stored in Google Drive for the relevant policy
  3. AI writes an answer based strictly on what those documents say
  4. The reply is posted back in the same Slack thread
  5. Every answer is quality-checked and logged for review
What you get

Policy answers ready without a wait

Employees get accurate answers to HR policy questions straight in Slack, pulled from your own documents.

What you get

An instant, policy-grounded answer to the employee, plus a logged quality score for HR to review.

What you need

A Slack workspace, a Google Drive account with your HR documents, a Pinecone account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
