How the AI works

## AI does the work. People keep the pen.

Every task in Peoplo.ai follows the same loop, so you always know what the AI did.

Step 1

### Ask or trigger

You type a request, or something happens: an offer is accepted, a claim comes in, month-end arrives.

Step 2

### Agents prepare

The right agent reads your records and rules, does the calculations and drafts the documents.

Step 3

### You approve

You see exactly what will change, line by line. Approve, edit or reject it.

Step 4

### It is on the record

The change is applied. Important changes are written to an audit log: who did what, and when.

Your inbox

## Monday, 9:00 am. The work is already prepared.

Open your inbox to find payroll checked, an exit settled, a joiner’s first day planned and claims read from receipts. You only make the decisions.

Prepared as things happen

An offer is accepted, a claim comes in, month-end arrives. The right agent starts straight away.

One place to approve

Payroll, exits, onboarding, claims and leave wait in the same inbox, with the exact change shown.

Approve, edit or leave it for later

Pay, tax, people records and money don’t change until you say yes, and your approvals and dismissals are logged.

Questions

## Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about Peoplo.ai for Indian companies.

### What is Peoplo.ai?

Peoplo.ai is an AI-native HRMS for companies in India. It runs HR, payroll and business operations in one place: employees, hiring, onboarding, exits, leave, attendance, payroll, performance, claims, expenses and IT assets. AI agents prepare the work, and changes to pay, tax, people records and money always wait for a person.

### Which Indian statutory deductions does Peoplo.ai handle?

Payroll in Peoplo.ai is designed to support provident fund (PF), ESI, professional tax and labour welfare fund for every state, and income tax (TDS) under both the old and new regimes. It is also designed to support tax declarations and proofs, gratuity, full and final settlements, and the monthly statutory filing files.

### Do the AI agents change data on their own?

Not pay, people records or money. Agents such as the payroll anomaly check, onboarding coordinator, exit coordinator and receipt reader prepare drafts and flag issues, and those changes wait for a person to approve them; the approval is written to the audit log. If an admin allows it, an agent can send reminders and add notes by itself. Admins can turn any agent off from AI controls.

### What is Kili in Peoplo.ai?

Kili is the AI assistant inside Peoplo.ai. Employees, managers and HR ask questions in plain words, such as leave balances or policy rules, and get answers from the company’s own records and policies, with each answer linked to its source. Kili sits on every page and knows which page you are on. It can also prepare a change, like adding a holiday, which waits for confirmation.

### Does Peoplo.ai cover business operations as well as HR?

Yes. Claims and bills, company expenses, exchange rates, IT assets and a shared password vault sit on the same employee record as HR and payroll data. A cap table with ESOP and RSU plans, grants and vesting is part of it too, and employees see their own equity.

### Can Peoplo.ai run payroll outside India?

Yes, in the UAE. The same account can run entities in the UAE (mainland, DIFC and ADGM), with WPS salary files and end-of-service benefits. Payroll for Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait is coming soon. HR for Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Estonia) is also coming soon, for HR only. Peoplo.ai works in 8 languages, including Arabic.

### Can we try Peoplo.ai without a demo?

Yes. Sign up yourself and Peoplo.ai suggests your industry and applies a matching industry pack. Kili then walks you through setup to your first payroll, including a parallel run against your old payroll before you switch.

### Is there a mobile app?

Yes. Employees install Peoplo.ai from the browser on their phone, with no app store needed. The Today screen covers clocking in, leave, payslips and Kili. The phone app is included in the plan.

### How does Peoplo.ai protect employee data?

Personal data is encrypted at rest, sign-in supports two-step verification and Google and Microsoft accounts, and important changes are written to an audit log. Peoplo.ai includes tools to export or erase a person’s data on request under India’s DPDP Act and GDPR. Peoplo.ai is built for GDPR and SOC 2.

### How much does Peoplo.ai cost in India?

₹79 per employee a month, before GST, for at least 25 employees, so the smallest plan is ₹1,975 a month. There is one plan, with every agent included. A yearly plan costs 10 months' price. Prices are published up to 2,000 employees; above that, talk to us.
