🤖 Your decision, not ours

Take off without AI.
Go further with AI.

Every workflow in HR-Autopilot runs on fixed rules, with no artificial intelligence at all. Where it pays off, you add an agent. Per workflow, revocable at any time, always visible in the log.

The difference

AI is a switch,
not a requirement.

Many vendors sell artificial intelligence as the reason to buy their product. For us it is one tool among several. It only works well when the foundation is right, and we build that first.

Without AI Rules that always run the same way

If this, then that. Every step is set, every run identical, every result predictable. That is enough for most workflows.

  • Fully traceable
  • No model, no probability
  • Reviewable by the works council and internal audit
With AI Agents for everything unstructured

An agent reads what no rule can capture: free text, certificates, CVs. It prepares and suggests, and people still decide.

  • Understands informal input
  • Spots anomalies in figures
  • Can be switched off individually at any time
Five examples

Where AI helps
and where it does not.

The same workflow, once with a fixed rule and once with an agent. The last column says whether the difference is worth it.

A new employee joining
Without AI

Fixed rule: create the record, set up the accounts, send the messages. Identical every time, traceable every time.

With AI

The agent reads the signed contract, picks out the start date, the role and the site and fills in the fields itself.

Is it worth it?

No advantage from AI when the data is structured anyway.

Processing a sick note
Without AI

Fixed rule: record the absence, watch the deadline, notify the manager.

With AI

The agent reads the informal email or the photo of the certificate and enters the period and the type itself.

Is it worth it?

A clear advantage, because sick notes rarely arrive in a structured form.

Screening an application
Without AI

Fixed rule: acknowledge receipt, sort by role, set a deadline.

With AI

The agent summarises the CV, compares it with the requirements and suggests a rating. A person makes the decision.

Is it worth it?

A big time saver with high volumes, but never without human approval.

Approving a contract change
Without AI

Fixed rule: send the request to whoever is responsible, then write to both systems once approved.

With AI

The agent checks whether the change fits the collective agreement and the budget, and points out any discrepancies.

Is it worth it?

Useful with complex collective agreements, otherwise the fixed rule is enough.

Producing the monthly report
Without AI

Fixed rule: fetch the metrics from every system, put the report together, send it.

With AI

The agent puts the anomalies into words: what has changed and what might be behind it.

Is it worth it?

The report gets produced either way. AI turns it into an interpretation.

Our rules

Six promises
we hold to.

1 Decided per workflow AI is not one switch for the whole system. You decide for each workflow separately whether an agent is involved.
2 Revocable at any time Switch an agent off and the workflow carries on, just on fixed rules again. Nothing breaks.
3 Always traceable The log says which step came from a rule and which from an agent, with the time and the result.
4 No decision without people Agents suggest and prepare. Whether someone is hired or let go is still decided by you.
5 Data stays in Europe The language models run in European data centres. Your HR data trains nobody else’s model.
6 The foundation first, then the AI An agent working on inconsistent data delivers inconsistent results. That is why normalisation comes first.
Best seen for yourself

The foundation first.
Then the intelligence.

In the call we build a workflow with a fixed rule and then add an agent. You see the difference on your own data.
