Employee assistant
Answers leave balance, payslip, holiday and policy questions from the employee’s own records. Drafts leave requests and waits for the employee to confirm.
How it works
Employees ask in Chat about their leave balance, payslips, tax declarations, holidays and company policies. The assistant answers from the employee’s own records and the policies published in People, quoting the policy section it used. It can draft a leave request or withdraw a pending one; nothing is sent until the employee confirms.
About 1 credit per question
What it reads
- Your leave balances and requests
- Your payslips and tax declarations
- Company policies published in People
When it starts
- When an employee asks it in Chat
What it can do
- Apply for leave on your behalf (after you confirm)
- Withdraw a pending leave request (after you confirm)
What it never does
- See anyone else’s data
Safe by design
- Hired, not switched on. Your admin hires each agent from the catalogue and chooses who can use it.
- Agents propose, people confirm. Anything that changes data, like a leave request, waits for a person to confirm it.
- Same access as the user. An agent sees only what the person asking is allowed to see.
- AI processing in India. Agents run on models hosted in India (AWS Mumbai).
- Budgets and a hard stop. Set a monthly credit limit per agent; agents stop when credits run out.
- Every run recorded. Admins see each run, the credits it used and what it did.
