It’s the newest HR time-saving tool on the Breathe screen. Meet our bot – the assistant with no name. 

We know you're busy. Giving you access to the greatest gift of all; time, we’ve integrated a low-level AI (artificial intelligence) system into our app.  

Marking our first step into the world of AI, our Absence Assistant's primary use is to book and check holiday as well as log sickness.

Acknowledged internally as a ‘toe-dip into AI’ and still very much in its infancy, we’re excited to see how our newest employee develops. You see, each time a message is sent, the Absence Assistant learns and takes note of your needs. 

Once we start to gather the data for usage, we can expand its functionality. And that’s where the magic happens.

In order to start a conversation, simply click the icon in the top right hand corner and watch Absence Assistant pop to life in an instant chat window.

Then ask it a question. 

You can automatically check holiday allowances, process leave requests and manage employee sickness thanks to our trusty helper. A chatty bot, it can hold general conversations with users, and the more its used, the more it learns; the better it becomes.  

(There are some cracking movie quotes in there if you can find them.)

For its first task and to celebrate its birth, our Absence Assistant (AKA the bot with no name) is offering you and your team the chance to enter our latest competition.  

What’s in a name? An Amazon Echo actually. Name our Absence Assistant and we’ll automatically pop you into a prize draw to win an Echo for your office.  

Friendly and completely ‘e-approachable’ our Absence Assistant was designed by one of our talented developers hoping to explore the AI world. We think the bot is pretty nifty and definitely worth the introduction. 

So, go on, say hello and let bot work for you.
