The opportunity

A real need.
A considered response.

HR teams answer the same policy questions every week, and employees wait for simple answers. An assistant answers from the current approved policies, shows the source and passes personal or sensitive matters to a person.

Under the surface

The engineering
behind the experience.

Architecture is a starting hypothesis. Discovery and representative tests decide what belongs in the first build.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONSPolicy document storeHR helpdesk or emailSingle sign-on
01Architecture to explore
  • Retrieval over versioned, approved policy documents
  • Topic rules that route personal or sensitive cases to people
  • Evaluation set of common questions with expected answers
02Integration dependencies

Policy document store, HR helpdesk or email, Single sign-on. Confirm access, data ownership, update frequency and failure behaviour during discovery.

03Validation and human control

Measure answer accuracy against the policy, appropriate handoffs and repeat questions to HR. No decisions on individual cases, pay or performance. Personal and sensitive matters always go to a person.

A useful first step

Start small.
Learn something real.

One policy area such as leave, with HR reviewing a sample of answers every week of the pilot.

Evidence to look for

Measure answer accuracy against the policy, appropriate handoffs and repeat questions to HR.

A boundary to design for

No decisions on individual cases, pay or performance. Personal and sensitive matters always go to a person.

Proposed scope, not a delivery commitment. Data, permissions, operational constraints and sector requirements need review before implementation.
