AI ASSISTANT
Give employees and managers personalized HR help across tools, grounded in policy and connected to HR systems, so more requests can be completed without HR.

From chatbot to AI Assistant
Most HR chatbots stop at answers. Applaud can understand what applies, retrieve information and move requests forward.
Traditional HR chatbot
The Applaud way
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.
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.
Connected HR and business systems help move requests forward, from retrieving information to submitting changes or generating documents.
Several steps can be completed within a single request; for example, checking leave policy, balance and availability before submitting the request.
Where HR expertise is required, the Assistant can pass the request to HR with the employee conversation and relevant information already captured.
