HumaFlow AI agent
Understands the request & responds
Knowledge + business rules
Grounded in approved policy
Workflow / automation
Request prepared, approval sent
HR team
Involved where judgement matters
Exceptions and sensitive cases are escalated with full context.
Outcome: sourced answer, request in motion, HR in control.
Answers come only from approved HR documents, with the source shown.
Works in Teams and SharePoint using Copilot Studio and Power Automate.
Sensitive, ambiguous or high-stakes situations always go to a person.
Access boundaries, testing and auditability designed in before launch.
The problem
Employees deserve quick, accurate answers. HR professionals deserve time for the work only people can do. Today, a large share of HR capacity disappears into predictable, repetitive enquiries.
HumaFlow adds an intelligent automation layer between your employees and your HR team — resolving the routine instantly and passing everything else to the right person, with context.
Holiday entitlement, sick pay, expenses, payslips. Important to employees — and almost identical every time.
Long documents written for compliance, not quick answers. Most people give up and email HR instead.
Handbooks, SharePoint sites, PDFs and inboxes — with no certainty about which version is current.
Requests arrive by email with details missing, then need chasing, re-keying and forwarding.
Employees wait days for simple answers while the team works through a growing queue.
Skilled HR professionals spend their time on routine enquiries instead of people, culture and complex cases.
HumaFlow Solutions
Each solution starts with a clear HR operational problem, applies grounded conversational AI and workflow automation, and keeps people in control of decisions.
Clear answers to policy questions, grounded in your approved HR documentation.
The problem
Employees can't find the right policy, so they email HR — and the team answers the same leave, sickness and expenses questions every week.
What the agent does
Answers questions in plain language using only your approved HR documents, and shows the policy section it relied on.
The outcome
Consistent, sourced answers at any hour, and fewer routine questions reaching the HR inbox.
A single conversational front door for HR — in Microsoft Teams or on your intranet.
The problem
Employees don't know who to ask or which form to use, so requests arrive in the wrong place, incomplete, or not at all.
What the agent does
Understands what the employee needs and guides them to the right answer, form, process or person — in one conversation.
The outcome
A simpler employee experience and fewer misdirected or incomplete requests.
Routine requests captured completely, first time, and sent to the right workflow.
The problem
Employment letters, personal-detail changes and leave queries arrive by email with missing details, then need chasing and re-keying.
What the agent does
Collects the required information in conversation, checks it against your rules and triggers the agreed workflow — with approvals where needed.
The outcome
Complete requests, less manual handling and clear status updates for employees.
Natural-language access to internal HR knowledge for employees, managers and HR advisers.
The problem
HR knowledge is spread across SharePoint sites, handbooks, PDFs and a few experienced people — even HR spends time hunting for the latest version.
What the agent does
Lets people ask questions naturally across approved knowledge sources, respecting the access permissions you already have in place.
The outcome
Faster, more consistent answers and less reliance on a handful of experts.
Enquiries classified, summarised and routed — with sensitive matters sent straight to a person.
The problem
Every enquiry lands in one shared inbox, where someone must read, classify and forward it before any real work can begin.
What the agent does
Classifies enquiries by topic and urgency, flags sensitive matters and routes each case to the right team with a structured summary.
The outcome
Sensitive cases reach a person sooner, and specialists spend their time resolving rather than sorting.
Connects HR conversations to approved business processes and automation.
The problem
Conversations end with “I'll pass this on” — and then someone manually starts a process in another system.
What the agent does
Links the conversation to Power Automate flows and system APIs to create cases, assign tasks, request approvals and notify the right people.
The outcome
Joined-up processes from first question to completion, with people approving what matters.
Human in the loop
HumaFlow automates predictable HR support while making sure sensitive, ambiguous and exceptional situations reach a human HR professional — quickly and with full context. We build tools that support HR teams, not replace them.
Handled by the agent
Handed to your HR team
Every agent has defined hand-off rules, agreed with your HR team before launch.
When a person takes over, the conversation and details go with it — no one repeats themselves.
The agent never stands between an employee and HR.
Agents inform, prepare and route. Approvals and judgements remain human.
In Practice
From everyday policy questions to structured requests and sensitive handovers — see how HumaFlow responds, cites sources and involves your team.
The agent answers from your leave policy, explains how to submit a request in your system and offers to start it.
Example interaction
Employee:
HumaFlow agent:
Human oversight: Disputes, unusual circumstances or anything the policy doesn't cover are passed to HR with the conversation attached.
The agent collects the purpose, addressee and details, then prepares a draft from your template for HR to review and issue.
Example interaction
Employee:
HumaFlow agent:
Human oversight: HR approves every letter before it is sent — the agent never issues documents on its own.
The agent recognises potentially sensitive topics, stops automated handling, shares appropriate support resources and alerts the designated HR contact.
Example interaction
Employee:
HumaFlow agent:
Human oversight: This is the escalation point — a person takes over straight away.

Technology & Ecosystem
Most mid-sized and enterprise organisations already run on Microsoft 365. Rather than introducing another standalone platform for employees to learn, HumaFlow designs HR agents and workflows that fit naturally inside your existing environment.
Outcome over platform
Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate and Microsoft 365 are enabling technologies — not the end product. We start with the HR outcome you need, then configure the right tools to deliver it reliably.
The conversational agent layer — conversation design, knowledge grounding and actions.
Teams, SharePoint and Outlook — where your employees and HR knowledge already are.
Approvals, notifications, tasks and the automated steps behind each request.
Secure access to organisational context such as people, groups and calendars.
Integration with HR systems, case management and service desk tools where APIs allow.
Approved policies, handbooks and guidance — with the permissions you already manage.

Security, Privacy & Governance
HR touches sensitive personal information, employment policies and real people's working lives. Security, privacy and governance are considered throughout how we scope, design, test and deploy every solution — working alongside your HR, IT and data protection teams.
Agents answer from content you have approved — not the open internet — and show where each answer comes from.
Solutions are designed around your existing identity and permission model, following least-privilege principles.
Agents are tested against realistic and out-of-scope questions before launch, and re-tested when content changes.
Clear routes to a person for sensitive, ambiguous or exceptional situations — designed in, not bolted on.
Defined owners for content, workflows and changes, so the agent stays accurate as policies evolve.
Conversations, sources and automated actions can be logged and reviewed in line with your policies.
Data minimisation, retention and data-protection requirements are considered from discovery onwards.
We don't automate decisions about hiring, performance, pay or employment. Those stay with people.
Where possible, solutions run in your own Microsoft tenant, under your existing security and compliance controls.
Why HumaFlow
We combine HR process understanding, conversational AI design and enterprise workflow automation — focused on outcomes your employees and HR team can feel.
We start with the HR problem, not the technology — and only automate what genuinely improves the process.
We build around the Microsoft ecosystem many organisations already use, rather than adding another platform.
AI supports employees and HR teams. It doesn't replace human judgement where judgement matters.
We focus on well-defined workflows that create tangible operational value, not experiments.
Start with one high-value process, prove it works, then extend to new use cases on the same foundation.
