AI for HR — conversational AI for employee self-service at a Fortune 500

The challenge
HR service desk backlog was a chronic complaint, and 61% of tickets were policy Q&A and PTO/benefits transactions that never needed a human. Employees also complained about answer drift between intranet, chatbot and HR desk agents.
Our approach
One grounded knowledge source
Consolidated policy content into a single grounded source; retired three overlapping intranet pages. Bot answered from the same source HR agents did — no drift.
Workday and ServiceNow tools
Idempotent tool calls for PTO balance, PTO request, benefits summary and HR case create — with SSO identity flowed through end-to-end.
Teams-native surface
Deployed as a Teams app so it lived where employees already worked — plus a fallback web widget for non-Teams staff.
Sensitive-topic hard routing
Anything touching harassment, leave under FMLA, or accommodation requests hard-routed to a human within one turn.
“Our HR ops team got their Mondays back — the queue used to be 900 tickets on a Monday morning, now it's under 400.”
