  • Mebebot
    Advisor
    Mebebot Nov 2023 - Nov 2024
    Austin, Texas, Us
    I’m thrilled to announce that I’m joining as an advisor to Beth White and the MeBeBot team to advance generative AI and verified AI as a core component of the HR and IT service strategy and tech stack. MeBeBot’s generative AI employee support (embedded in the Digital Employee Experience Platform) is available now. And it works.What? And more importantly Why?The AI space is hot but filled with hype. HR needs to lean in vs. wait and see. How do we distinguish signal from noise and move from AI talk to AI adopt?Over the past few years I’ve been using MeBeBot as a cost effective HR service, communications and feedback solution, supporting hundreds of distributed employees by resolving their questions and needs in real time 24/7.While important, there’s little job satisfaction answering the same employee questions over and over again. And it’s wasteful to launch new benefits and employee experience programs that are promptly forgotten. As an employee, there’s nothing more frustrating than trying to get a routine answer and not getting a response for days. Worse, who wants to go dumpster diving into shared folders or Slack/Team channel histories for outdated policies or practices?MeBeBot lets the HR and IT team focus on establishing the right answer once and then letting the AI respond to thousands of employees across multiple languages and countries. Employees use natural language to ask a question and MeBeBot responds with the trained answer. With this ‘set it and forget it’ approach to tier 1 level Q&A, HR is better positioned to redeploy time towards higher value talent and leadership development initiatives.
