It drafts salary slips, answers leave-balance questions, and summarises attendance so a 10-person team needs zero HR overhead.

Built in India, priced at ₹29/employee/month — no separate AI add-on fee, no per-query charges.

Features

AI Does the HR Work You Don't Have Time For

Most small businesses can't justify a full-time HR person. Avani's AI assistant fills that gap — it answers policy questions, drafts leave-approval notes, calculates who is due for confirmation, and reminds you of pending tasks. The owner asks in plain English and the AI handles the busywork so you can run the business.

Ask HR Questions in Plain Language

"How many casual leaves does Ramesh have left?" "Who was absent last week?" "What's our total salary payout this month?" Employees and owners type questions the way they'd ask a colleague, and the assistant answers from your live portal data — no reports to dig through, no formulas to remember.

AI-Assisted Payroll for Non-Accountants

You don't need to know PF, ESI, or Professional Tax slabs. The assistant explains each deduction on a payslip in simple terms, flags anything unusual before you approve payroll, and walks a first-time owner through a monthly run. The compliance math stays automatic — the AI just makes it understandable.

Draft Letters & Notices Instantly

Offer letters, warning notices, confirmation letters, experience certificates — small businesses waste hours copying old Word templates. Ask the AI to draft one with the employee's details filled in, review it, and send. What took 30 minutes now takes 30 seconds, in your company's tone.

Leave & Attendance, Explained

The assistant summarises who's on leave this week, whose attendance is irregular, and whether anyone is close to exhausting their leave balance. For an owner juggling ten roles, it's a five-second daily briefing instead of a spreadsheet you'll never open.

Role-Based & Safe by Design

The AI never leaks salary or personal data to the wrong person. An employee asking about pay only sees their own; a manager sees only their team. Because access is enforced at the data layer, the assistant is safe to hand to your whole team from day one — no privacy worries.

Key benefits

How it works

  1. Add Your Team in an Afternoon — Import your 10–100 employees via CSV or add them one by one. Set salary, leave policy, and roles. Your small business is live on Avani the same day — no consultant, no IT setup.
  2. Ask the AI Instead of Doing It Yourself — Open the assistant and type what you need — a payslip explained, a leave balance checked, a warning letter drafted. It reads your live data, respects who can see what, and hands back the answer or document.
  3. Let Employees Self-Serve — Your team asks the AI their own questions — leave balance, payslip, holiday list — so nothing lands on the owner's WhatsApp. Routine HR runs itself while you focus on customers and growth.

Frequently asked questions

Can small businesses run HR with just AI?

Yes, for most small businesses under 100 employees. Avani's AI assistant handles the routine work an HR person would otherwise do — answering leave and payslip questions, drafting letters, summarising attendance, and explaining payroll deductions. The owner or an office manager supervises, but the AI removes the need for a dedicated HR hire until you're much larger.

What questions can I ask the AI assistant?

Anything about your own team's HR data, in plain language — "How many leaves does Priya have left?", "Who was absent yesterday?", "What's this deduction on my payslip?", "Draft a confirmation letter for Amit." The assistant reads your live portal data and answers instantly, scoped to what the person asking is allowed to see.

Is my employees' salary data safe with AI?

Yes. The assistant is role-based and enforces permissions at the data layer. An employee can only ask about their own salary and leave; a manager sees only their team; the owner sees everything. The AI cannot reveal data a person isn't authorised to view, so it's safe to give the whole team access.

Do I need to understand PF, ESI, TDS?

No. Avani calculates PF (12% of basic), ESI (for wages up to ₹21,000/month), TDS under Section 192, and state Professional Tax automatically. The AI assistant explains each deduction in plain language and flags anything unusual before you approve payroll, so a non-accountant owner can run payroll confidently.

How much does the AI HR assistant cost?

The AI assistant is included in Avani Business OS at ₹29 per employee per month. There is no separate AI subscription, no per-query charge, and no setup fee. A 20-person business pays ₹600/month for the full platform including the assistant.

How long does it take to get started?

A small business is usually live the same day. You import your employee list, set salary structures and leave policies, and you can start asking the AI immediately. There's no on-premise software, no server, and no IT team required.

Is this built for Indian businesses, not foreign?

Avani is built and supported in India specifically for Indian SMBs. The compliance engine handles Indian statutory rules and the AI assistant understands Indian HR context — leave types, salary structures, and letter formats — unlike foreign tools retrofitted for India.
