Humley HR Assistant
Instant HR answers, built from your own policies
Humley HR Assistant is an AI-powered support service that gives employees clear, consistent answers to everyday HR questions- immediately, and in plain English. It’s created by securely ingesting your organisation’s HR policy documents, handbooks, procedures and FAQs, then shaping that knowledge into a conversational assistant your staff can use at any time. Instead of searching PDFs or waiting for the help desk, employees simply ask a question and receive the right guidance straight away- via chat, or by telephone using an automated voice service powered by Twilio.

- UK savings at a glance
In the UK, live HR helpdesk support is surprisingly expensive once you factor in staffing, training, systems, and call-handling time. Industry benchmarks often place the cost of a single inbound call at around £6 per enquiry- even when the question is something simple like holiday entitlement, absence rules, or how to update personal details.
That means an organisation receiving just 1,000 routine HR calls per month could be spending £6,000+ every month- or more than £70,000 a year- simply answering repetitive questions.
Humley HR Assistant helps reduce this cost by handling those everyday enquiries automatically, instantly, and consistently. In UK pilot deployments, employees quickly began using the AI as their first point of contact, with many saying they preferred it because it was faster, more private, and always available. The result is fewer calls into the HR helpdesk, less pressure on HR teams, and significant operational savings- while staff receive a better service experience 24/7/365.
Even a modest reduction in live calls can translate into meaningful annual savings, especially for organisations with large or distributed workforces.
