HR chatbot — 50% fewer HR questions reach the HR team

The problem

HR team spending significant time answering the same internal questions: holiday policies, expense procedures, benefits, onboarding steps. Repetitive, low-value work consuming expert capacity.

First attempt

First version answered without citing sources — HR couldn't verify accuracy. Added mandatory source citation. Initial knowledge base too outdated — built automated monthly refresh workflow.
