[ 01 / the problem ]

People work tends to get buried under paperwork

At most founder-led companies, HR is one person. Sometimes HR is the office manager's second job. Sometimes it is yours.

Whoever holds it spends the week the same way: answering the PTO rollover question for the third time, chasing one unsigned I-9 across four reminder emails, rebuilding Monday's onboarding checklist in six different tools, and hand-typing the same offer letter with a new name at 9 p.m.

None of that is people work. It is clerical work wearing an HR badge, and it eats the hours you meant to spend on the actual job: the hard conversation, the great hire, the culture you promised yourself you would build.

It doesn't make sense to have a person doing a machine's job.

[ 02 / the market ]

Every AI tool for HR comes with a second job.

The market is full of AI software. It usually arrives through one of two doors. Door one: build the agent yourself on a platform, and whoever runs HR also becomes an automation engineer. Door two: buy the AI bolted onto your HR suite, then configure it, monitor it, and babysit its meter forever.

Marshal is the third door. Managed AI Ops: AI agents that get designed, deployed, and run for you, as a service. You do not run your own payroll service or your own email infrastructure. There is no reason to run your own agents.

[ 03 / the work ]

Pick the set of tasks. Get the agent.

An agent owns a complete stream of HR work, defined by an event your business already counts: a question, a new hire, an applicant. Marshal configures it to your policies and runs it. Your team approves.

[ every question ]

Employee questions, answered from your documents

The agent answers policy, PTO, and benefits questions from your own handbook and plan documents, drafts the reply, and cites the source it pulled from. Sensitive questions route to a human with full context instead of an autoreply.

  • policy and handbook lookups
  • benefits and PTO explanations
  • employment verification letters
  • escalation with full context
[ every hire, every departure ]

Onboarding and offboarding, run end to end

From offer accepted to day one: the agent creates the records, sends the documents, chases the signatures, builds the first-week calendar, and reminds every owner of every step. Offboarding runs the same checklist in reverse, so nothing stays open that should be closed.

  • document collection and signature chasing
  • record creation across systems
  • first-week scheduling
  • equipment and access checklists
[ every applicant ]

Recruiting admin without the scheduling thread

The agent assembles screening summaries against the criteria you set, drafts candidate replies, and books interviews without the eleven-message email thread. Who advances stays your call. The agent prepares the decision; it never makes it.

  • screening summaries on your criteria
  • interview scheduling
  • candidate communication drafts
  • pipeline hygiene in your ATS
[ every change ]

Records and compliance, kept audit ready

Every signed document filed where it belongs, every record synced across HRIS and payroll, every training completion logged and chased. When the audit comes, the folder is already built.

  • document filing and retention
  • HRIS and payroll sync
  • training completion chasing
  • audit-ready activity logs
A receipt for every completed task.

The input it started from, the steps it took, the sources it consulted, the output it produced, and its approval state. Claims are for websites; receipts are for buyers.

[ 04 / trust ]

Built for the most sensitive inbox in the company

HR data is the data you cannot be casual about, so the defaults are conservative on purpose. The agent starts in draft-and-approval mode: it prepares the work, and nothing reaches an employee, a candidate, or a system of record without sign-off. It runs on the systems you already own, under permissions you set, and every action lands in an audit trail.

Some things never move to a machine. Performance conversations, compensation decisions, and anything that needs a closed door stay with your team. The agent carries the paperwork around those moments, never the moments themselves.

And when the agent gets something wrong, the approval gate catches it, Marshal fixes the system that let it through, and the failed work costs you nothing. Failures never count as completed work.

[ 05 / the long run ]

Who owns AI outcomes? We do.

Every HR automation demos well in week one. Then open enrollment doubles the question volume, the benefits renewal rewrites your plan documents, your HRIS ships an API change, and the tool you bought quietly starts being wrong. Somebody has to notice. At every other vendor, that somebody is you.

Marshal runs the agent in production. We monitor it, tune it, and fix drift before you see it, and we stay accountable long after the novelty wears off. When an integration changes or an agent drifts in month six, that is our problem.

[ 06 / the proof ]

Watch it work before you pay anything

You have seen this movie: the AI project that demos beautifully, then dies under the weight of its own promises. Gartner expects more than 40 percent of agentic AI projects to be canceled by the end of 2027. We both know the fix is not a better demo. It is proof, in your environment, on your real work, before any money moves.

Start the 14-day free trial. Our engineers tune Marshal to your process, your tools, and your approval rules, and the agent completes real work while you watch. Get a receipt for every completed task. Then decide.

“Marshal gave us a more responsive support operation without forcing a massive migration! The agents worked across our systems, followed our rules, and kept me in the loop when something required my attention.”

If you are a Fortune 100 with procurement layers, we are the wrong shop. If HR at your company is one person with too many tabs open, you are exactly who we built this for.

What is an AI agent for HR?

An AI agent for HR is software that completes human resources work end to end instead of just answering questions about it: it resolves policy and benefits queries from your own documents, runs onboarding and offboarding checklists across your systems, handles recruiting admin like screening summaries and interview scheduling, and keeps records synced and audit ready. Marshal delivers HR agents as Managed AI Ops: AI agents that get designed, deployed, and run for you, as a service, with your team on approvals and judgment calls.

Will an agent replace our HR team?

No. The agent takes the clerical stream: the lookups, the checklists, the chasing, the filing. Performance conversations, compensation decisions, employee relations, and every judgment call stay with your team. Our rule is simple: the villain is the mechanical work, never the person doing it.

How is employee data handled?

The agent runs on the systems you already own, under permissions you set. Records stay in your HRIS, your payroll platform, and your ATS; Marshal does not move your employee data into a new system of record. Every action the agent takes is logged, and in draft-and-approval mode nothing reaches an employee, a candidate, or a system of record without your sign-off.

What HR systems does it work with?

Your existing stack. Marshal deploys agents on top of the HRIS, ATS, payroll, calendar, inbox, and chat tools you already run, so there is no migration and no rip-and-replace. If your stack today is spreadsheets and a shared inbox, that is a fine starting point.

How does pricing work?

Marshal starts free and stays flat. The 14-day free trial costs nothing: Marshal completes real, verified work in your environment before you pay anything. When the agent is proven and you move it into production, you pay a flat monthly rate for Managed AI Ops, scoped to the workflows Marshal runs. No seats, no setup fees, no credit meters. You are paying for a proven system that we run, not a meter that bills from the first interaction.

What happens when the agent gets something wrong?

A human catches it before it ships. Agents start in draft-and-approval mode, exceptions route to a queue instead of a guess, and every action is replayable from its receipt. When something does slip through, Marshal fixes the system that let it through, and failed work never counts as completed work. You are never billed for a mistake.

How fast can an HR agent go live?

Minutes, not months. Create an account, connect where your work arrives, and a working agent goes live the same day, often within minutes. But speed is not the point; freed up is. You can connect your systems yourself, and the moment the agent is live, Marshal engineers step in, tune its configuration, and manage the runs that deliver your work. The trial is not two weeks of you operating an agent. It is two weeks of watching one work.
