AI Agent
HR Helpdesk Agent
The HR Helpdesk Agent answers employee questions on benefits, policies, PTO, and onboarding from your own documents — resolving instantly and around the clock, and escalating the sensitive cases to a human with context.
The problem it solves
HR teams spend their days answering the same questions — how much PTO do I have, what does the plan cover, how do I onboard — instead of the strategic work only they can do. Employees wait for answers that already exist in a handbook, and onboarding stalls on small questions no one is free to answer.
How it works
- Answers benefits, policy, PTO, and onboarding questions from your own HR documents.
- Guides employees through onboarding and common HR processes step by step.
- Works around the clock, in every timezone, for a distributed workforce.
- Escalates sensitive or complex cases to a human, with the context already gathered.
What you get
- Instant, accurate answers for every employee
- Faster onboarding with fewer stalls
- HR freed from repetitive tickets for strategic work
- Consistent answers grounded in your actual policies
Where it fits
- Growing teams — scale HR support without scaling headcount.
- Distributed workforces — around-the-clock answers across timezones.
- Onboarding — new hires get answers from day one.
- Open enrollment — absorb benefits-question spikes.
