We are looking to develop HR agents on it, HR-based bots. We integrated it with our HR system, HRIS.
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The development toolkit itself and the engine that supported the agent development was flexible. The features include support for RAG and support for generative AI. What we're looking to do is provide a human-like interface where natural language comes into play to serve HR data. Our users interact in a narrative fashion and get their queries answered. It has increased our serving of HR requests by 30%. It is user friendly, and our user base was able to work with it quite conveniently.
What needs improvement?
Improving on the development toolkit would help. The platform and toolkit that we use to develop agents could benefit from improvements from a user-friendliness perspective. Making it more user-friendly would be beneficial.
