Nine accounts renew inside 30 days and three of them are the ones to worry about. Their ticket volume is up while usage is falling, which is the pattern that preceded every churn last quarter.

The HR team you do not have

Below about a hundred people there is no HR team, and the people work falls on a founder or an office manager between other jobs. The lists of AI tools for HR are written for departments: engagement surveys, performance cycles, workforce planning. The jobs that actually pile up are smaller: the applicant nobody answered, the onboarding task nobody chased, the leave request in a chat thread. Daciel does those, on the company's own records.

Marcus Hale9:12 AM

Acme wants a renewal quote. Their contract is up in three weeks.

Ana Duarte9:12 AM

Ticket volume has climbed every month this quarter. Read that before we price it.

Marcus Hale9:13 AM

So someone pulls usage, open tickets and the last two invoices. Three systems.

Priya Raman9:14 AM

And most of an afternoon. Hand it over and hold the send until one of us reads it.

Marcus Hale9:14 AM

@Daciel draft the Acme renewal from usage and tickets, hold the send

Two things it does on day one

Which AI tools for HR pay back?

The lists of AI tools for HR, held by kvistly, Lattice, IBM, SAP and peoplemanagingpeople, are written for HR departments: engagement analysis, performance review drafting, workforce planning, policy chatbots. Useful at five hundred people; irrelevant at thirty.

How the people agent works

Hiring

Every application acknowledged and read against your must-haves; a stage proposed with evidence; interviews scheduled.

Onboarding

A checklist per role opens on acceptance; documents sent and tracked; owners chased.

Time off

Requests routed to the named manager with the team calendar beside them; decisions filed.

The record

Role, manager and status changes proposed from what happens and applied by the approver.

Payroll stays where it is

Gusto, Rippling or your accountant keep payroll and benefits; Daciel connects and reads.

Connects to

No decision without a personRejections, offers, role changes and leave wait for the named manager

Criteria in the openScreening reads your questions, not a score

Strictest permissionsEmployee records are the most restricted data in the product

Safe for people decisions. The agent never rejects, offers, changes a role or approves leave alone, and the criteria it reads against are written down.

How permissions work

Questions people ask before buying

Is this an HR chatbot for employees?

Employees can ask the agent about their own record and requests. It is not a policy chatbot; it does the hiring, onboarding, time-off and record work.

Does it write performance reviews?

No. Performance cycles are not part of People today.

Does it run payroll?

No, and the screen says so. Connect your payroll provider and keep it.

What decisions does the AI make alone?

None that affect a person's employment. It drafts, screens against written criteria, schedules and reminds. Managers confirm.

What does it cost?
