This n8n template provides an intelligent HR assistant that integrates with BambooHR and OpenAI. It automatically retrieves company policy documents, benefits overviews, and HR files from BambooHR, organizes them into a searchable vector database, and powers a conversational AI chatbot that can answer employee questions about company policies, benefits, and escalation paths.
The workflow optionally includes an employee lookup tool, allowing the AI to retrieve employee or department contact details, find the most senior person in a department, or escalate queries when no direct contact is found in the company documentation.
Designed for companies looking to offer self-service HR support, this template reduces HR ticket volume while giving employees fast, accurate, and human-like answers.
