From connection to autonomous action in three steps
Connect
Connect your Zenefits account via OAuth. The agent accesses employee data, benefits enrollment status, time-off balances, payroll summaries, and org structure in real time.
Ask
Ask questions like 'Which departments have the lowest benefits enrollment rates?' or 'Show me PTO utilization by team this quarter' or 'How many open positions do we have and what's average time to fill?'
Act
The agent sends enrollment reminders to specific employee segments, flags compliance gaps in benefits documentation, updates employee records when you approve changes, and triggers alerts when PTO balances fall below policy thresholds or turnover rates spike.

Write
The agent sends benefits enrollment reminders to employee segments, updates employee profile fields, creates time-off requests on your behalf, flags compliance documentation gaps, and initiates onboarding task assignments for new hires.
Monitor

AI agents query headcount, compensation, and department structures, then calculate customer acquisition cost per employee or revenue per team member. Agents can forecast hiring needs based on pipeline growth, compare benefits costs across teams, and correlate workforce changes with marketing performance trends.
