The version of AI HR assistant that works for a Katherine business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates - usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
For Katherine operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

How we build AI HR assistant for a Katherine team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Katherine business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI HR and people ops.

FAQ
When does AI HR assistant actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Katherine - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for Katherine businesses?
HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI HR assistant can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
