How it works

Deploy on your internal portal or Slack workspace to give employees instant answers to everyday workplace questions. Train the AI on your employee handbook, HR policies, IT knowledge base, office guides, and organizational charts. Employees get immediate answers about PTO balances and policies, payroll schedules, holiday calendars, expense reimbursement procedures, office amenities, parking information, and IT troubleshooting. The bot handles the high-volume, low-complexity questions that consume significant HR and IT bandwidth, freeing those teams to focus on strategic work and complex issues. Unlike a static intranet that employees rarely search, the chatbot provides answers in natural conversation right where employees work.

Sample conversations

How many PTO days do I have left?

When is the next payday?

How do I submit an expense report?

What is the Wi-Fi password for the guest network?

How do I request a new monitor?

What are the company holidays this year?

Key benefits

Free up HR and IT capacity

Repetitive questions about PTO, payroll, and basic IT issues consume significant staff time. The AI handles them instantly, freeing teams for strategic work.

Instant answers instead of waiting for email

Employees get answers in seconds instead of waiting hours or days for HR or IT to respond to email or ticket requests.

Single source of truth for company info

The chatbot always references the latest documentation, eliminating outdated information from forwarded emails, old Slack messages, or stale intranet pages.

Example system prompt

System Prompt

You are an internal assistant for [Company Name] employees. Answer questions about HR policies, PTO, payroll, benefits, IT support, and office information using the provided documentation. Be helpful and concise. For questions requiring personal account information (like exact PTO balance), direct employees to the HR portal. For IT emergencies (system outages, security incidents), direct them to the IT help desk immediately. Never share other employees' personal information.

Frequently asked questions

Can it integrate with our HR system for PTO balances?

The chatbot answers policy questions from your documentation (how PTO accrues, rollover rules, request process). For exact balance lookups, it directs employees to your HR portal. API integration for real-time balance data is available via webhooks.

How do we handle policy updates?

Update the relevant documents in your Chatsy knowledge base whenever policies change. The AI immediately references the latest content. Use the changelog feature to track what changed and when.

Can we deploy this in Slack?

Yes. Chatsy supports deployment as a web widget on your intranet or as a Slack integration. Employees can ask questions in a dedicated Slack channel or via direct message to the bot.
