Check PTO balances
Email or text Carly to check an employee's PTO balance. She reports their current available days, upcoming approved time off, and accrual details — useful for quick lookups without opening BambooHR.
Review the employee directory
Ask Carly for employee details from your BambooHR directory — job titles, departments, managers, start dates, and contact information. She pulls the data so you can find what you need without searching the portal.
Monitor time-off requests
Ask Carly for a summary of pending, approved, or upcoming time-off requests. She lists who's out, when, and for how long — great for planning around team availability.
Get org and headcount updates
Tell Carly to pull headcount by department, recent hires, or upcoming anniversaries from BambooHR. She gives you a clean summary for planning, reporting, or team updates.
Why HR teams and managers are using AI to manage BambooHR
BambooHR holds the data that keeps your team running — employee records, PTO balances, time-off requests, org charts, and onboarding checklists. But for managers and HR leads, answering routine questions means logging into BambooHR, navigating to the right section, and looking up the information. How many PTO days does someone have left? Who's out next week? What's the headcount in engineering? Each lookup takes a few minutes, and they add up fast.
AI tools for BambooHR should make that information accessible on demand. Instead of logging into the portal every time someone asks about their PTO balance or you need to check who's out before scheduling a meeting, you should be able to ask and get a clear answer. The HR data is already there — the friction is in how quickly you can pull it up.
How Carly works as your AI BambooHR assistant
Carly connects to your BambooHR account through the API. Once connected, you access HR data over email or text — like having an HR coordinator on call who can look up any employee record or PTO balance instantly.
Need to know who's out next week before scheduling a team meeting? Email Carly and she pulls all approved time-off requests for any date range. An employee asks about their PTO balance? Text Carly and she reports their current balance, upcoming time off, and accrual details. Planning for a new hire and need the current headcount by department? Ask Carly and she pulls it from the org data.
Because Carly connects to 200+ tools, she can tie your BambooHR data into broader workflows. She can check who's out in BambooHR before scheduling meetings in Google Calendar, or cross-reference the employee directory with your Slack workspace to find contact details.
Who uses Carly with BambooHR
HR managers who field PTO and employee data requests throughout the day and want a faster way to look things up. People ops teams who need quick headcount numbers and org updates without building reports. Engineering and team leads who want to check who's out before planning sprints or scheduling meetings. If BambooHR is your system of record for people data but checking it feels like overhead, Carly gives you that access on demand.
