The AI agent automates all of this, acting like a virtual manager that works 24/7. 2️⃣ How It Works Step 1: Collect Employee Info From the frontend form, the AI agent receives: Name Role Department Manager Start date This information is enough for the agent to generate a personalized onboarding experience.
