Hire an AI agent for every part of HR.
An HR agent, a payroll agent, a compliance agent and five more. Each one supports the person who owns that job: it does the collecting, checking and chasing, and they keep the decision. More done in the week, with the same team.
All 8 are in every plan, from £39.99 a month.
HR agent
People operations
Keeps every employee record, contract, probation and policy up to date, and chases what is missing.
Payroll agent
Monthly pay run
Builds the run from live records, explains every change since last month and waits for your approval.
Compliance agent
Employment compliance
Checks pay, hours, holiday, contracts and training against the rules, and keeps the evidence.
Immigration agent
Sponsor licence and right to work
Watches right to work dates, sponsored workers and reporting windows, and drafts what UKVI needs.
Accounting agent
Payroll bookkeeping
Turns each approved run into the journal, the liabilities and the cost report your accountant expects.
GDPR agent
Employee data protection
Runs retention, subject access requests and access reviews on the employee data you hold.
Recruitment agent
Hiring
Screens applicants against the role, books interviews and drafts the offer, with right to work checked first.
Rota agent
Shifts, leave and cover
Builds the rota, checks leave against minimum cover and finds the cheapest way to fill a gap.
Support, not replacement
The agent does the legwork. Your people do the job.
Most of an HR month is finding things out, working them through and chasing people. That is the part an agent is good at. What is left is the part that needs a person, and now there is time for it.
What an agent does
- Collects the inputs from the record
- Runs the calculation or the check
- Drafts the letter, report or shortlist
- Chases whoever owes a document
- Warns weeks ahead of a deadline
- Keeps the evidence of what was done
What your people do
- Decide what happens to a person’s job or pay
- Approve every payment, filing and message
- Handle the conversation that needs a human
- Make the judgement call the rules leave open
- Set the criteria, the cover and the permissions
- Stay accountable, by name, for the outcome
How hiring works
Three steps, and no interview.
- 1
Pick the agent
Choose the job your team needs help with. Hire one, or all eight: every agent is in every plan, so the price does not change.
- 2
Give it a brief
Bring your records in or connect them, set what the agent can see, and name the person who approves its work.
- 3
Approve its first week
It starts on what is due now. You read what it prepared, question it, and sign off. Nothing leaves without you.
Terms of employment
Every agent works to the same four rules.
- A named approver
- Each agent has a person it reports to. Nothing is paid, filed, sent or deleted until that person approves.
- One employee record
- All eight agents read the same record, so payroll, the rota and the sponsor file never disagree.
- Your permissions
- An agent sees what the person asking is allowed to see, and no more.
- A full audit trail
- Every question, draft, approval and export is logged with what the agent saw at the time.
Questions
Before you hire one.
Will an AI agent replace our HR or payroll person?+
No, and it is not built to. The agents take the collecting, checking, drafting and chasing, which is most of the hours in an HR month. Your people keep every decision and get the time back for the work that needs them.
What does it mean to hire an agent?+
You switch it on in your roothr.ai account, tell it what it can see and name who approves its work. From then on it does that job every day and brings you what needs a decision.
Does each agent cost extra?+
No. Every agent is included in every plan. Plans are priced by the size of your team, from £39.99 a month for up to 10 people.
Are these different products?+
No. They are one assistant working on one set of records, given separate jobs so each has a clear brief and a clear approver. That is why the payroll agent already knows what the rota agent scheduled.
Can an agent act without a person?+
It can prepare, check, draft and chase. It cannot pay, file, send, offer or delete. Those need a named person’s approval, every time, on every plan.
Can we stop using an agent?+
Yes, at any time. Switch it off and the records, the history and the audit log stay exactly where they are.
Do the agents replace our accountant, lawyer or immigration adviser?+
No. They do the routine work and keep the evidence. Advice on tax, a legal dispute or an individual immigration case still comes from a qualified professional.
