AI HR Assistant in PeopleHub: Ask Solvait AI

You Ask, It Works Out the Form: The AI HR Assistant Inside PeopleHub (Ask Solvait AI)

Ask Solvait AI is the AI HR assistant built into PeopleHub: an employee asks in plain language, the assistant works out what the request needs, drops a short ready made form into the chat, and completes it under the employee's own login and permissions. It works in Arabic and English, switching automatically, on web and mobile, and covers HR tasks from a single conversation. The idea is simple. Instead of hunting for the right screen, the employee says what they want and the form comes to them. The assistant does not act on its own. It completes what the employee asks, after the employee confirms the form.

Key takeaways

The AI HR assistant Ask Solvait AI turns a plain language request into a ready made form inside the chat.
It executes under the employee's own login and permissions only, and sees just their data (managers see their team), so it stays safe and scoped.
It is built into 40+ screens across web and mobile, works in Arabic and English with automatic switching, and you confirm every request before it is sent.
It covers leave, attendance, approvals, pay, travel, and documents from one conversation, and can open any screen on request.
It is a feature within Solvait's AI HR platform and part of employee self service, never a replacement for the user's decision.

What is Ask Solvait AI, and how is it different from a normal chatbot?

An AI HR assistant is not a chatbot that answers and leaves you to it. A traditional HR chatbot replies with information or a link, and the work of doing the task stays with you. Ask Solvait AI goes one step further: it understands the request, builds the form, and completes it after you confirm.

The important word here is execute. The assistant does not stop at answering. It finishes the request on the employee's behalf, within their permissions. And the decision still belongs to the employee, who confirms the form before it is sent.

Many companies in Saudi Arabia look for HR software that eases the load on the HR team. An assistant that completes routine requests means less time answering repeat questions, and faster service for the employee.

What does "you ask, it works out the form" mean?

This is the assistant's signature behavior. The employee types what they want in their own words, even when there is no ready shortcut for it. The assistant works out which fields the request needs and drops a short, ready made form straight into the chat.

The result is that the employee does not move from screen to screen hunting for the right place. A quick example: instead of opening a menu, then the leave screen, then the leave type, then the dates, the employee writes one sentence like "I need three days off starting Sunday," and the form arrives pre-filled, ready to confirm. That is what employee self-service looks like when it is genuinely easy.

What can it do from a single conversation?

Ask Solvait AI is not built for one task. One assistant covers most of what an employee needs day to day:

Leave and attendance: leave balance and who is away, submit leave or an excuse or overtime or remote work, clock in and out, and fix a missed clock-in.
Approvals: what is waiting for you, and approve, decline, or send back with a comment.
Pay: payslips, expense claims, loan requests, education allowances.
Travel and learning: travel options and fares and air-ticket requests, browse and enroll in courses, and request certificates.
Documents and navigation: HR letters and documents with file attachments in the chat, find a colleague or see a manager's team view, and open any screen just by asking.

This breadth is what makes HR automation something the employee actually feels, not just a slogan.

Does it take action automatically? And is it safe?

Yes it executes, but not on its own. The assistant acts on the employee's request and after they confirm the form, within their permissions only. This is a real distinction: it is an assistant that completes what it is asked to do, not an autonomous agent that decides for itself. The "agentic" label at Solvait is reserved for the Solvait Agentic AI HR platform and its agents, not for this assistant.

Safety rests on three rules:

It signs in as the employee: it sees only the employee's data, and a manager sees only their team's.
It stays on topic: it politely steers non-work questions back to HR tasks.
You confirm before it acts: no request is sent until you confirm the form, so the decision stays with you.

So the answer to a question people ask a lot is this: yes, an AI service desk can answer employee questions and take action, as long as the action is on the employee's request and within their permissions. That is exactly how Ask Solvait AI works.

Where do I find it inside PeopleHub?

The assistant is always within reach, not on a separate page. It is built into 40+ screens across web and mobile:

a card on the home dashboard.
a top bar icon on desktop.
a floating button on every mobile screen.

When opened, it appears as a panel beside the current page with no reload, so the employee keeps working with the conversation open. That answers another common question: yes, mobile HR apps can offer intelligent in app help and instant answers to employee questions, as PeopleHub does.

Why now? AI in HR

The trend is clear, regionally and globally. Employees are ready, and leaders are moving:

Bar chart of AI adoption in HR based on Gartner and PwC data

Metric	Figure	Source
Saudi employees using AI at work	69%	PwC, 2025
HR leaders planning to adopt AI within 12 months	82%	Gartner, 2025
HR tasks managed by AI agents by 2030	50%	Gartner, 2025

The Saudi number stands out: 69% versus 54% globally, per PwC. In other words, the Saudi employee is more ready for AI tools than the global average, and that is an opening to deliver smarter employee self service.

A chatbot that replies, or an assistant that executes?

The difference is clear in one table:

Aspect	Traditional HR chatbot	Ask Solvait AI
What it does	Replies with info or a link	Builds the form and executes the request
Reaching the request	Screen after screen	You type the request in plain language
Language	Usually one	Arabic and English, switches automatically
Permissions	General	The employee's login, their data only
Confirmation	Not applicable	You confirm the form before it is sent
