Harriet, the AI assistant transforming HR teams gets £1.2M funding boost
Summary
Harriet is the first AI tool to deliver a full stack offering to HR teams by scanning and cleaning up their company documentation, before being deployed to individual employees to act as their personal AI assistant.Harriet starts by scanning all existing organisational policies and documents to understand whats currently in place, whats missing, and where duplicate or conflicting information exists. It then helps them clean up their data, creating the right foundations for deploying additional AI.The software then sits on top of this clean data and information to become a personal HR assistant for every employee.Accessed via Slack and plugged into other interfaces such as Google Drive, Notion, Xero, HiBob, BambooHR and Zapier. This means, regardless of where information is stored, staff can make HR requests and source the information they need without leaving Slack.Harriet can book staff leave, update them on company policies, find relevant documents, source payslips, and signpost them to support services, with answers tailored to the location of a specific employee.This removes a large volume of distracting micro requests from overstretched People teams, enabling them to focus on higher-value, more meaningful actions around culture, compensation and training.The technology is powered by a Large Language Model, with multiple interlocking and cross-checking AIs built into the system to safeguard privacy, truthfulness and accuracy.One of the main blockers to AI adoption for companies is the state of their knowledge bank. As organisations look to take advantage of AI solutions, and as teams begin to expect instant access to information and support, its vital to ensure tools lay the right foundations as well as unlock efficiencies. Were excited to join them on this journey and cant wait to see their innovation make the world of work better for thousands.
