HR support that lives where employees already are

Most employees don't want to open another app to check a leave balance — they want to ask, the way they'd ask a colleague. The AI WhatsApp Assistant connects directly to your Manitham HRMS data, so employees can message your company's WhatsApp number in plain language and get a real answer immediately, not a support ticket.

It's built on the same employee record as the rest of the platform. Whatever the assistant reports — a leave balance, an attendance status, a payslip figure — is exactly what's in the system, not a stale copy or a manual lookup someone has to run.

Ask leave balance, attendance status or payroll questions in plain language
Apply for leave directly from a WhatsApp message, routed to the right manager
Get payslips and tax documents sent as a WhatsApp attachment
Answers pull from live HRMS data — never a stale or manually maintained copy
No separate login — verified against the employee's registered number

No office hours — the assistant answers whenever an employee messages, day or night.

Why an AI assistant on WhatsApp, specifically

Zero adoption curve

Employees already have WhatsApp open. There's no new app to install or password to remember.

Fewer routine requests reach HR

The questions that fill up an HR inbox — leave balance, payslip copies — get answered instantly instead.

Same data, one more channel

The assistant reads from the same employee record as self-service and payroll — answers are always current.

Useful for field and shop-floor staff too

Employees without regular desktop or app access still get the same self-service capability, over WhatsApp.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do employees need to install anything?

No. Employees message your company's existing WhatsApp number — there's nothing to install and no separate account to create.

How does it know which employee is messaging?

The assistant verifies the sender against each employee's registered mobile number already on file in the HRMS.

Can employees apply for leave through WhatsApp?

Yes. A leave request sent over WhatsApp is submitted the same way as one from the self-service portal, and routed to the employee's manager for approval.

Is the data the assistant gives out live?

Yes. The assistant reads directly from the same employee record used across attendance, leave and payroll — not a separate or manually updated copy.

What if the assistant doesn't understand a question?

It asks a clarifying follow-up, the same way a person would, rather than returning an error.

Does this replace the employee self-service portal?

No — it's an additional channel. The web and mobile self-service portal is still there for anything better suited to a screen.
