Understand the request

The AI Assistant interprets what the employee is asking and uses details such as their role, location, eligibility, and HR information to provide relevant responses.

What needs to happen next? 

Each request is assessed to determine whether it needs an answer, data from another system, an HR action or specialist support before moving to the right next step.
