Together, we've built Talk to HR to solve the problems we've both experienced from opposite sides: HR teams drowning in repetitive questions, and employees who can't get the answers they need.
HR teams are buried
Answering the same questions hundreds of times. Processing requests manually. No time left for the work that actually matters.
Employees feel lost
Policy documents nobody reads. Portals nobody uses. Questions that go unanswered or take days to resolve.
Companies at risk
Inconsistent policy application. Decisions made without proper information. Compliance gaps nobody catches until it's too late.
“We realised that HR tools were built for HR departments, not for our people. We wanted to flip that.”
Our vision
A world where getting HR help is as easy as asking a colleague.
Employees get support instantly
No more waiting. No more hunting through documents. Just ask a question and get a real, useful answer - grounded in your company's actual policies.
HR professionals get superpowers
AI handles the routine so humans can focus on what they do best: the nuanced, empathetic, truly human work that makes a difference.
Friction disappears
Book leave in seconds. Get policy clarity immediately. Stop context-switching between apps and portals. Everything happens where you already work.
Consistency without rigidity
Every employee gets the same quality of information and support, but with the flexibility to handle the edge cases that make humans human.
The first HRIS built for growing teams
You don't need a 50-person HR department or a legacy portal to run HR properly. Talk to HR is a full HRIS that lives where your team already works.
Startups
You're moving fast and wearing multiple hats. Talk to HR gives you a real HRIS — employee records, leave, payroll, policies — without the learning curve. It lives in Slack, so your team adopts it instantly.
- Set up in minutes, not weeks
- Start free with up to 5 employees
- Scale pricing as you grow
Small & Medium Businesses
Your HR team is stretched thin answering the same questions while strategic work piles up. Talk to HR is a full HRIS that handles routine HR — leave, payroll, policy queries — so your People team can focus on people.
- Reduce HR admin by up to 70%
- Consistent policy application
- Enterprise security, SMB pricing
What we believe
Technology should serve humans
Not the other way around. If it's not making life easier for real people, we're doing it wrong.
Transparency builds trust
We tell you exactly what we do with your data, how our AI works, and where the limitations are. No black boxes.
HR is too important to get wrong
It's people's livelihoods, their wellbeing, their families. We take that responsibility seriously.
Start simple, stay simple
The best tool is one people actually use. We fight complexity at every turn.
