The problem it solves

Onboarding a new hire means juggling account setup, checklists, and a welcome email across several tools, and it's easy for a step to slip through the cracks. When something is missed, the new hire's first day suffers.

Who it fits

HR and IT teams responsible for onboarding new employees.

How it works

  1. New hire details are entered to start the process
  2. A Jira account is created automatically for the employee
  3. A personalized onboarding checklist is generated in Notion
  4. AI writes a tailored welcome message
  5. A welcome email is sent through Gmail, and any setup failures are logged for follow-up
What you get

New hires set up before their first day

You get every new hire's accounts, checklist, and welcome email ready to go before their very first day starts.

What you get

A new hire with accounts already set up, a Notion onboarding checklist, and a welcome email in their inbox.

What you need

Jira, Notion, and Gmail accounts, plus an Azure 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.
