The HR Team's Dilemma

Every HR professional knows the feeling:

  • "What's our parental leave policy?"
  • "How do I submit expenses?"
  • "When do benefits kick in?"
  • These questions are important. They also take time away from strategic work.

    The Solution: An HR Knowledge Bot

    An HR bot trained on your employee handbook can answer 80% of routine questions instantly. Here's how to build one.

    Step 1: Gather Your Sources (1 minute)

    Collect links to:

  • Employee handbook (PDF or Notion)
  • Benefits documentation
  • Common HR FAQs
  • Policy documents
  • Pro tip: Start with your top 10 most-asked questions.

    Upload or connect:

  • Notion pages (paste links)
  • Google Docs (connect account)

  • The bot processes everything automatically.

    Step 4: Configure Access (30 seconds)

    Choose who can use your bot:

  • Public: Anyone with the link
  • Domain-restricted: Only @yourcompany.com emails
  • Invite-only: Specific email addresses

    Get your shareable link and send it to your team. That's it.
