2025-05-14 10:35:30 +0000 UTCJust had a presentation from a turnkey HR solution. The run through the interface and features was utterly comprehensive Except for the AI button which I presume brings up a chatbot which was not mentioned at all Neither did I ask about it, the whole solution was clearly battle tested and dogfooded as their own HR system The AI button was clearly there as a bit of glitz to make it look up to date, not a feature worth mentioning by either the person selling the product or importantly me the customer
