HR AI agent: answer your staff and smooth the onboarding

“How many days of leave do I have left?”, “how do I report sick leave?”, “where do I find my certificate?”: the HR team answers the same questions every day, at the expense of the substantive work. Your HR AI agent answers them instantly and guides new arrivals. Hosted in France — on local inference or an isolated resource — staff data stays under control. The HR team keeps the decision.

Fictional simulation — not a client result

I'm joining the company on Monday. What should I prepare for my first day, and how much leave have I accrued?
Welcome! For Monday: identity document, bank details, health insurance card and proof of address to upload to your area.
Your onboarding path (badge, workstation, access, welcome meeting) is ready. Leave: on contract since the 1st of the month, you have accrued 2.08 days; the balance will update automatically.

And how do I report sick leave if I'm off?
Procedure: send your sick note within 48 hours — one part to the employer, the other two to the health insurance fund. You can also upload it to your HR area.
I can pre-fill the employer's certificate and notify your manager, subject to the HR team's approval.

✦ In brief

A Blue Lemon Agent agent for HR answers staff's everyday questions — leave, payroll, health cover, procedures, remote working — around the clock, smooths the onboarding of new arrivals, manages the HR documentation, prepares standard documents, appraisals and tracking summaries. Checking a vacancy’s required criteria — qualification, years of experience, licence, clearance — and analysing applications belong to the CV analysis agent (ENT-UC-006), billed separately. It relieves the HR team of the repetitive requests. Data hosted in France; the AI model is called at its publisher, except with the Sovereign model option. With that option, sensitive staff data is never exposed to a foreign service, architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity. HR decisions stay human.

Included in the package: hosting and AI consumption up to the volume of your capacity tier, in documents, exchanges, tokens and storage; beyond that, re-invoiced at real cost with no margin, tracked in your client area as usage statements are issued. Maintenance and supervision subscription for an initial term of 12 months for the Agility package, 24 months for the Serenity package and 36 months for the 100% Sovereign package, renewable; support levels (SLA 72 h / 24 h / 4 h) optional. Bespoke development, additional integrations or exceptional volumes are quoted separately. Support Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Prices exclude VAT.
AI model: none of the AI models offered currently carries a fixed surcharge. When the selected model carries a cost, that cost is shown when you choose it, before you order, and re-invoiced at the cost incurred, with no mark-up; usage is billed at the publisher's price. Publishers' prices are published in US dollars: the amount re-invoiced is the amount in euros actually borne by Blue Lemon Agent on the publisher's invoice, at that invoice's exchange rate, with no commission or mark-up.
Included components and additional components Components included in the base offer: the Blue Lemon Agent software foundation, the AI models listed in the order journey, the standard channels (Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp Business, email, website chat, calendars, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, file storage, market VoIP telephony, professional social-media pages and accounts, Google Business Profile), hosting for the package chosen, in France by default, backups, supervision, updates and support. If adapting the AI agent to your constraints, your needs or your requests requires other paid components — a third-party publisher's software licence, paid API access to one of your applications, hosting of health data, for which French law requires an HDS-certified host (art. L. 1111-8 of the French Public Health Code), SecNumCloud-qualified hosting, a speech synthesis service, particular hardware —, they are offered to you as an option or on quotation and re-invoiced at the cost incurred; nothing is committed without your written agreement. Where the artificial intelligence model you choose entails an additional cost, that cost is shown to you before you order and re-invoiced to you at the cost incurred, with no margin.

Use cases

The uses of AI in an HR department

Here are the capabilities included in the agent, then the neighbouring agents that can be added to it. The agent carries out by itself what you authorise it to do; you decide what it does on its own and what it submits to you, and HR decisions stay human.

Included in your agent The 6 capabilities essential to this promise are included, at no extra cost.
From 348 € excl. VAT / month

Answers to staff

Leave, payroll, health cover, procedures, remote working: the agent answers everyday questions instantly, around the clock.

Boundary: drafts answers from approved HR sources, with no individual, disciplinary, pay or legal decision.

Onboarding new arrivals

A guided arrival path, documents to provide, welcome FAQ: the new arrival finds their answers straight away.

Boundary: covers the checklist, reminders and signposting, not the design or delivery of a training path, which belongs to the internal training agent (ENT-UC-012).

HR documentation

Centralises the procedures, the staff handbook and the templates, and watches that personnel files are complete.

Boundary: finds and summarises approved rules and documents, without managing their lifecycle, permissions or versioning, which belong to the HR document management agent (ENT-UC-026).

Standard documents

Writes certificates, letters and standard replies from your templates — for the HR team to approve.

Boundary: prepares pre-approved templates for a human to validate, with no signature and no HR decision.

Preparing appraisals

Prepares evaluation grids and question outlines for annual and career appraisals, with no appraisal or rating of the employee.

Boundary: prepares outlines, agendas and questions, with no scoring, ranking, selection or decision about a person.

Summaries & tracking

Recaps the requests handled, the recurring reasons and the subjects the HR team should anticipate.

Boundary: consolidates facts, actions and deadlines, without producing an evaluation of its own.

Checking a vacancy’s required criteria — qualification, years of experience, licence, clearance — and analysing applications against the criteria you have set is the job of the CV analysis agent (ENT-UC-006), billed separately. The decision rests with the recruiter, and neither agent ranks people.

Controls and safeguards These 5 controls are built into the agent: they frame what it does, whatever plan you pick. They are not chosen and are not added to your order.
Human arbitration of conflicts and irreversible decisions Observability of costs, timescales, quality, failures and safe stop Apply transparent criteria and avoid automated decisions Preserve human validation, recourse and audit trail Protect HR data with fine-grained access and retention periods
What the agent must be connected to These 2 connections are required for the agent to work. They concern your information system and are scoped during the audit.
Register of authorised agents and interface contracts Integrate with the HR information system/ATS and measure quality, turnaround time and fairness
Demonstration

See the agent at work

5 everyday situations, taken from those that come up most often. Pick one: the exchange unfolds as it would in your organisation.

A scripted demonstration. These exchanges show how the agent behaves — its sources, its refusals, what it leaves to your teams. Nothing is sent from this page, no model is queried here, and the matters named are fictional. That is precisely what we promise your data. The behaviours shown here — monitoring, automation rules, routing and reminders — are configured with you during deployment, from your tools, your rules and your thresholds. The architecture points named in these exchanges — location, local execution, isolation, encryption, role-based access, logging — are not a guarantee attached to the demonstration: they are those of the architecture set out in your quotation, and verified before commissioning.

Fictional simulation — not a client result

Four things spotted this morning on your personnel records, each with what it still makes possible.
· Eleven employees have more than 30 days of untaken leave, spotted four months before the end of the period — the lead time needed to plan them calmly. Seven of them are in the same department: that is where the organising happens.
· One question comes back 47 times in three months — and I found its answer: it is written and signed in a company agreement nobody had the time to reopen. Making it reachable makes the 47 enquiries fall away.
· Fourteen periodic health checks are past their date, three of them by more than six months — the list and the slot requests are already drafted.
· An employee has reached 22 months on short-term contracts and your agreement provides for a review at 24 months — two months' notice to prepare it. morning-watch_4-findings.pdf4 findings · 1 agreement to publish
⛓ Source · leave balances, company agreements, health check tracking, live contracts
The question asked 47 times — which one is it?
One your agreement already answers — the text is signed, it is simply not published yet.
The question, as it recurs: "can I take a half-day against a day of leave?" — 47 times, in 9 wordings.
What I looked for: an answer in your welcome booklet, your staff notices and your intranet. Nothing. Then I found it in the company agreement of 14/03/2023, article 6 — which is published nowhere and which I have only because you opened it to me.
What that means: the answer exists, it is written, it is signed, and making it available is enough for those 47 requests to disappear.
What I have prepared: for this question and for the 12 others this quarter whose answer sleeps in an unpublished document, the answer written out in plain terms, with the article cited and its date — thirteen paragraphs ready to go into the welcome booklet, without publishing the agreement itself. Those 12 represent 184 enquiries.
What is yours to do, and it is no formality: deciding what is communicated, and in what form. Publishing a company agreement and publishing the answer to a question do not have the same effect — the first opens the whole text to reading, the second answers what was asked. You choose the form; all thirteen answers are written. 12-questions_184-enquiries.pdfWritten answer · ready to publish
⛓ Source · 47 questions, company agreement of 14/03/2023 art. 6, published documents
How did you spot all that? And who do you tell?
I watch, continuously, what you have opened to me: leave balances, your agreements and their dates, health check tracking, live contracts and their end dates.
Routing follows what expires: a contract end date goes to HR and the manager, four months ahead — not at the last moment, because the decision needs a conversation; overdue health checks to HR, as one list; untaken leave to the manager of the department concerned, not to the employee — it is a workload before it is a personal choice; a question with no published answer to HR.
With a chase: 7 days, except a contract end within 60 days — 48 hours. Then a monthly summary: by subject and by department, never by employee.

What this frees up right away: 184 enquiries this quarter come down to 12 questions whose answer is already written and signed somewhere — publish them, and the HR team gets those hours back for the substantive work. The 14 overdue health checks go out as one list, the 11 leave balances to the department manager four months before the deadline, and the 22-month contract before it becomes an emergency.
The access stays yours: opened by role — each person sees only what concerns them —, logged, withdrawn on a word, and employee data does not leave the company, local inference with the 100% Sovereign package; with the Agility and Serenity packages, data hosted in France, AI model called at its publisher except with the Sovereign model option.
The HR decision belongs to the named person, and I hand it over in minutes: the question, its answer quoted to the article of your own agreement, the list of records concerned and the standard letter already drafted. I rely on your agreements and your notes, never on a rule of law recited from memory — that is what makes my answer hold up in your house. And as soon as an exchange suggests danger, harassment, discrimination or distress, it hands over to a person, immediately: that is the one time an employee should find somebody, not an agent.

The context

Why AI matters to HR — and why they hesitate

Staff expect immediate answers and a smooth onboarding, while HR teams, often small, face a growing volume of internal requests. But the data involved — pay, contracts, health, personal circumstances — is among the most sensitive in the business.

! The issue

The HR department is caught between staff who want answers right away, new arrivals to integrate quickly, and a load of repetitive requests that keeps growing (leave, payroll, procedures, certificates). Yet most consumer AI solutions amount to entrusting pay, contracts, health data and personal circumstances to a third party, often hosted outside Europe and subject to the Cloud Act.

✓ Our answer

AI is only of interest to HR if it is sovereign and confidential by design. Local inference or an isolated resource hosted in France, strict control of access rights, systematic human oversight, decisions reserved to the HR team: the time saved on the repetitive is never paid for in lost confidentiality. The aim is not to replace the HR team, but to give it back time for people.

The decisive point

The confidentiality of staff data: sovereignty & compliance

HR data is among the most sensitive in the business and is strictly governed by the GDPR. Here is how the architecture of our agents protects it.

Local inference

With the 100% Sovereign package, the agent runs on a machine at the business: no staff data leaves the network, nothing passes through a cloud.

Hosting in France

Otherwise, with the Agility and Serenity packages, a dedicated, isolated resource hosted in France, under French law: data hosted in France; the AI model is called at its publisher, except with the Sovereign model option.

Reduced extraterritorial exposure

Exposure of staff data to the Cloud Act and FISA 702 is reduced by design; location alone does not guarantee immunity.

Controlled access rights

Access rights are controlled: each person sees only what concerns them. Encryption in transit and at rest, logging.

One isolated resource per company

No pooling of HR data: an environment strictly dedicated to your organisation.

AI Act: governed deployment

The agent carries out what you have authorised; no HR decision is automated; traceability and human oversight from end to end.

What depends on the architecture chosen These points are not general guarantees: they are settled deployment by deployment, in the quotation.

  • The applicable location is that of the architecture set out in the quotation and verified before commissioning.
  • Local execution is announced only for the configuration explicitly described and accepted in the quotation.
  • The applicable isolation depends on the deployment mode set out in the quotation; no dedicated isolation is presumed.
  • The encryption mechanisms in transit and at rest, their components and key management are those documented for the architecture chosen.
  • The events logged, their content, their retention period and who may access them are defined for the deployment chosen.
For the most sensitive data, health information in particular, SecNumCloud and HDS options are available according to how demanding your requirements are. A single architecture is designed to answer both the GDPR and extraterritorial exposure. Designed for deployment in line with the GDPR and the AI Act, after the processing, roles and context-specific risks have been assessed.
The gain

How much time can an HR department win back?

A large share of the requests an HR department receives are repetitive questions. By automating them, the agent gives time back to the HR team and speeds up the integration of new arrivals, who find their answers immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Does the HR agent replace the HR team?
No. It absorbs staff's repetitive questions and the documentary tasks, to free the HR team for supporting people and for sensitive matters. HR decisions (hiring, disciplinary action, dismissal) stay entirely human.
Can it check a vacancy’s required criteria?
Yes, with the CV analysis agent, billed separately and deployed alongside the HR agent: it finds in each file what the candidate has stated about the criteria you have set — required qualification, years of experience, licence, clearance — and reports each point with the wording that supports it; a point not mentioned is marked as such, never inferred, and no ranking of people is produced. Recruitment is one of the uses framed by the European AI Act: framed, not forbidden — transparent criteria, traceability and human oversight. The decision to interview a candidate is yours.
Is staff data protected?
Yes. HR data is sensitive: the agent and that data are hosted in France, with the deployment objective of processing and access operated within the European Union and an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity, with strict control of access rights, respecting the GDPR.
Does it integrate with my HR system?
Yes, with the main HR management systems and with your document base. We adapt the integration to your environment during scoping.
Do we have to learn a new tool to use it?
No. Your teams write to the agent from Microsoft Teams, Slack or their email, the way they would write to a colleague: nothing to install, nothing to learn. These connections rest on open standards, including the MCP protocol, and are included in every plan, at no extra cost, within the number of connections set out in your agent's quote; the catalogue grows without a surcharge. You supervise the agent from a web dashboard.
Does it help onboard new arrivals?
Yes. It guides the new arrival through their path, answers their questions, provides the documents and procedures, and reduces the HR team's load during that period.
How long does it take to deploy the HR agent?
One to two weeks as a rule, depending on how rich your HR base is, after a meeting with our sales team that identifies the most useful use case, then a phase of design, integration and testing before going live.
