Automate Employee Records Collection for HR

Let your AI agent handle all personnel file requests, reminders, and document organization. Free yourself from tedious admin and focus on people—not paperwork.

You spend hours each week as an HR assistant chasing documents across Outlook, Google Drive, and Workday. Waiting for responses, updating Excel trackers, and sorting files leaves you stressed and behind. Delayed onboarding and audit prep become a scramble, all because record collection is still manual.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In HR departments, assistants waste time emailing managers and payroll teams, tracking responses in Excel, and organizing files in SharePoint. The manual process slows onboarding, complicates compliance checks, and makes audit prep a headache. Every missing document means more reminders and lost time. The pain is real when you’re the one responsible for pulling records from Workday and shared drives.
