AskHR - Get instant answers to HR and policy questions without the back-and-forth.

Most employees avoid asking HR simple questions. They don't want to seem uninformed, create a paper trail, or wait days for a response to something straightforward. So they guess, ask colleagues for outdated information, or simply don't claim benefits they're entitled to.

askHR fixes that by giving employees a private, instant way to get accurate answers about policies, leave, expenses, benefits, and workplace guidelines directly in Slack.

What It Does

askHR connects to your company's HR policy knowledge base and answers employee questions in real time. It answers questions across themes such as:

• Leave entitlements and how to request time off

• Benefits enrolment and eligibility

• Expense policy and approval limits

• Remote work and flexible working guidelines

• Training and development allowances

• General workplace policies

When something needs human input such as complaints, grievances, sensitive situations etc, askHR recognises that and routes employees to the right person instead of attempting to answer.

HR teams spend significant time answering repetitive questions. Employees, meanwhile, avoid asking because of friction or social cost.

askHR fixes both sides:

• Employees get immediate, accurate answers

• HR reclaims time for higher-value work

• Policy compliance improves (people actually know the rules)

• Consistent answers across locations and teams

• Sensitive questions stay private

Built For

HR teams and companies that want to reduce operational load while improving employee experience

• Scaling startups without dedicated HR headcount

• Mid-size companies with distributed teams

• Any organisation where HR spends too much time answering the same twenty questions

If your HR team is buried in routine policy queries, askHR is built for you.

Limitations

askHR is an information tool, not a decision-maker.

• Policy gaps: If something isn't documented in your knowledge base, askHR will say so and direct to HR. It won't guess

• No exceptions: askHR explains policy but can't approve exceptions

• Not a counsellor: For sensitive situations (grievances, harassment, mental health), askHR provides resources and escalation paths, not advice

• Knowledge base dependent: The quality of answers depends entirely on your policy documentation. Incomplete documents will produce incomplete answers

• Slack app only works in channels: The custom Slack integrations don't support private DMs
