An HR AI Bot on Microsoft Teams
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Mani, a Product Manager based in Dubai. I'm working on an exciting AI project for our organization and looking for technical guidance or collaborators. 🤖 The Idea: An HR AI Bot on Microsoft Teams Here's the concept: - Employees open Microsoft Teams and chat with an AI-powered HR assistant - The bot answers HR policy questions in natural language (leave policy, travel allowance, working hours, etc.) - It also connects to our HRMS platform (ZingHR) to fetch live personal data like leave balance, payslips, and attendance - Authentication happens through Azure Active Directory so the bot knows who is asking 🛠️ Planned Tech Stack: - Microsoft Azure Bot Service (Teams integration) - OpenAI GPT-4 or Claude API (the AI brain) - RAG pipeline for HR policy PDFs (Azure AI Search or LlamaIndex) - ZingHR API for live employee data - Python for the backend logic 📌 Where I am right now: - The concept and architecture are defined - Phase 1 is policy-only (no live HRMS data), just to prove the concept - Phase 2 adds ZingHR live data 🙋 What I need help with: - Anyone who has built a Teams bot with Azure Bot Framework - Experience with RAG pipelines on HR documents - HRMS API integration (ZingHR or similar platforms) - General advice on what pitfalls to avoid I'm not a developer myself, but I understand the architecture well. I'm happy to collaborate, share learnings, or just get pointed in the right direction. Has anyone built something similar? Would love to hear your experience. 🙏 #AI #MicrosoftTeams #HRTech #AzureBot #RAG #ChatBot #ProductManagement #Dubai
