Track employee attendance and calculate pay through a Telegram bot

Employees check in and out through Telegram chat, and the system tracks hours, penalties, and calculates net pay.

How the work actually flows

From the manual situation today to what runs on its own.

The problem it solves

You or your HR team spend hours manually logging who showed up, calculating hours worked, and tracking salary advances in spreadsheets. Mistakes creep in when tallying overtime and deductions by hand, and onboarding new hires means more scattered paperwork.

Who it fits

HR managers at small and mid-size businesses with hourly or shift-based staff.

How it works

  1. An employee messages the HR chatbot to check in, check out, request a loan, or register as new
  2. The system reads the message and figures out what the employee needs
  3. It logs attendance times and calculates hours worked, flagging early departures
  4. New employee details are validated and added to the staff records
  5. On request, it calculates net salary with deductions and overtime and sends a report
What you get

Payroll numbers that match hours actually worked

Your employees check in and out through a simple chat, and their attendance, penalties, and net pay all get calculated for you automatically.

What you get

Up-to-date attendance logs and instant salary reports with deductions and overtime calculated.

What you need

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