Introducing roothr.ai: HR admin as a conversation

Most HR software is a very large form. You click into the payroll module, click into September, click into each employee, and the software faithfully records what you typed. It is accurate and it is slow, and the slowness lands on the same two or three people every month.

roothr.ai is our attempt to remove the clicking. It sits on top of Root HR and lets you ask for the outcome instead of driving the interface. You type “run payroll for September” and it prepares the run. You type “are we compliant?” and it checks your sponsored workers against your duties and tells you who needs what.

What it does on day one

• Payroll preparation. Gathers hours, absences, starters, leavers and salary changes, prepares the run and lists every change since last month with its reason.
• Compliance checks. Right to work dates, CoS end dates, sponsor duties and reportable changes, answered by name and date.
• People questions. Who is off, who is on probation, who has not signed their contract, and what is due this week.
• Drafting and chasing. Letters, reminders and messages from your templates, sent only when you say so.

The rule we will not break

Nothing is paid, sent or filed without a named person approving it. roothr.ai prepares, explains and waits. That is not a limitation we plan to remove later. Payroll and immigration compliance are areas where a wrong action costs real money and real people their jobs, so the human stays on the last step.

Who it is for

Root HR customers first. If you already run your people, payroll or sponsor licence in Root HR, roothr.ai works on your existing account with your existing permissions. There is nothing to migrate and nothing new to set up beyond turning it on.

We are onboarding in small groups so that every team is set up properly. Leave your email and we will be in touch.
