What can an AI teammate do with BambooHR?

A BambooHR AI teammate can list employees, fetch individual profiles, review time-off requests, pull HR reports, and browse department data. It can surface workforce insights on a schedule or on demand - for example, generating a weekly headcount summary or flagging upcoming PTO gaps for a team. Write actions like approving time-off requests require your approval.

Can my teammate approve time-off requests automatically?

It can, but only with your explicit approval. Approving a time-off request is a write action that requires confirmation in safe and plan permission modes. You can configure auto-approval for trusted, well-scoped workflows.

What employee data can my teammate access?

Your teammate accesses the fields your BambooHR API key is scoped to - typically name, department, title, start date, and time-off data. Sensitive fields like salary require broader API permissions and are only read if your key allows it.

How is a BambooHR AI teammate different from BambooHR's built-in reports?

BambooHR reports are static and manual. An AI teammate reads the same data but reasons over it - spotting trends, formatting summaries, routing information to Slack or Google Sheets, and running on a schedule so you never have to pull a report by hand.
