What's changing

The Problem

  • The answer to most employee questions already lives in your policies, but finding it means back-and-forth, and your HR team fields the same questions all week.
  • The risk: your HR business partners spend their days on Tier-1 tickets instead of the strategic work only they can do.
What we build

The Solution

A custom agent that has read your handbook, benefits guides, and HRIS, and answers employees and managers the way your best HR partner would, in seconds, with the policy cited.

Deployed in 30 days, inside your tenant. Not a report. Not a pilot. A working agent.

What it does

Every policy question and HR request. One agent.

The work your HR team does by hand today, handled inside the tools they already use.

Policy & handbook lookup

Ask in plain language, get the exact policy back, with your own language quoted.

Benefits & enrollment

Answer plan, eligibility, and open-enrollment questions straight from your benefits guides.

Leave, PTO & accommodations

Walk employees through FMLA, PTO, and accommodation rules, grounded in policy and law.

Onboarding & offboarding

Guide new hires and exits step by step, so nothing gets missed on either end.

HRIS record retrieval

Pull an employee's status, tenure, or record on request, scoped to who's allowed to see it.

Employee helpdesk (Tier-1)

Resolve the routine questions your team fields every day, before they become a ticket.

Compliance & training

Track required training and surface the compliance rule that applies to a given situation.

Manager guidance

Give supervisors a safe, policy-checked answer to “can I…?” before it becomes a problem.

Document & letter drafting

Draft offer letters, verifications, and policy responses grounded in your own templates.

Case triage & routing

Classify a request and route it to the right HR partner, with context already attached.

Pay & payroll questions

Answer pay, deduction, and timesheet questions grounded in your policy, not guesswork.

Ticket & trend analytics

See which questions come up most, so you can fix the policy or process behind them.

One agent, live in your tenant, in 30 days

A scoped build with a fixed outcome, plus ongoing support to keep it running and current as your policies change.

One agent · 30 days · measurable results

  • A working Human Resources agent, deployed inside your Microsoft 365 tenant
  • Trained on your handbook, benefits guides, and HRIS
  • Built for the workflows we identify together, across your HR team

  1. 1

    Week 1

    Scope

    We pick the highest-value workflow, policy lookup, leave questions, or onboarding, and define the result we'll hold ourselves to.

  2. 2

    Weeks 2–3

    Build

    We load your policies and records and build the agent inside your tenant, working alongside IT so it clears review as we go.

  3. 3

    Week 4

    Deploy

    It goes live for your HR team and employees, they're trained, and we measure the result against the number we set in week one.

Runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, so employee records, PII, and case files never leave your environment
Scoped access, the agent sees only the policies and records you grant it, nothing more
Built alongside your IT and HR teams; nothing goes live until they sign off
HIPAA-eligible with a BAA, on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure
Security & data

Employee data never leaves your environment.

HR data is some of the most sensitive an organization holds: PII, health information, and confidential case files. The agent runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, so none of it is sent to a third party.

For a healthcare, public-sector, or unionized buyer, that's what turns IT from blocker into ally, and it's often the only reason a deal clears review at all.

Why us

We understand how your team works

Applichat has run automation-powered recruiting and retention campaigns for 175 clients since 2019, sourcing frontline staff through the COVID-19 pandemic, long before “AI agent” showed up on every vendor's slide deck. So when we automate a workflow, it's one we've already experienced by hand, hundreds of times. That's why our approach to AI custom-builds around the way your team actually works, instead of forcing what the software wants.

Operators first, engineers second.
