One area where AI can make a significant impact is generating handbooks. Handbooks are essential resources for any organization, as they provide employees with information about the company's policies, procedures, and expectations. However, creating a handbook from scratch is time-consuming. With Alexis AI-solutions, HR professionals can save a lot of time, yet create comprehensive and well-structured handbooks tailored to their organization's needs.

  1. Generate a chapter in our company handbook based on our core values [value 1], [value 2], [value 3]. 
  2. Create a section on remote work guidelines for our employee handbook.
  3. Outline our company's diversity and inclusion policies for the handbook.
  4. Develop a section that explains how expenses and reimbursements are handled.
  5. Draft a code of conduct section for our employee handbook, highlighting our expectations for professional behavior.

Answering employee questions and requests

AI-powered chatbots are an invaluable resource for HR departments, as they can efficiently handle a variety of employee inquiries and requests. These may include questions related to vacation days, policy inquiries, and time-off requests, among others. By leveraging the power of chatbots, HR teams can unburden themselves from the daily task of handling such requests, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.

Alexis’ AI Assistant will be available in both Slack and Alexis' own mobile app. The chatbot uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze questions and generate personalized responses based on the employee’s role and permissions in Alexis. With the ability to understand any language, our chatbot can easily adapt to a global workforce, making it an inclusive solution for any team.
