Harriet, the first full-stack AI solution designed to get companies' internal data ready for the AI revolution, relieve People teams of their daily admin burden, and give every staff member their own HR assistant, has raised a £1.2m pre-seed round. The round was led by Concept Ventures and joined by Frontline Ventures, Portfolio Ventures, and Notion Capital.
Poor data management is a major blocker to the adoption of AI tools, particularly those designed to drive efficiencies for companies and their staff.
Harriet is the first HR-focused AI solution created to overcome this hurdle and get companies and their data ready for AI. Harriet starts by scanning all existing organizational policies and documents to build a picture of what's currently in place, what's missing, and where duplicate or conflicting information exists. It then signposts companies towards issues and helps them clean up their data – creating the right foundations for the deployment of additional AI.
Harriet then sits on top of this clean data and information to become a personal HR assistant for every employee. Accessed via Slack and plugged into other HR tools, Harriet can perform a variety of tasks such as booking staff leave, updating them on company policies, finding relevant documents, sourcing payslips, and providing answers tailored to the location of a specific employee. Harriet removes daily friction points for employees by providing instant support based on streamlined and accurate documentation, leading to workforce efficiencies.
