Been using this internally for the last 4 months and good god this is brilliant!
Reports, approvals, bulk changes, fact finding even SHIPPING OFFERS end to end - all through a chat box.
This thing is potent and nothing like this exists in the world today!
I spend a lot of time thinking about the risks of AI as it gets embedded, well, everywhere. It's nice to see a use case that seems unambiguously useful and good. Well done, Parker and the team at Rippling.
It's been truly awesome seeing Parker execute since day one; the relentless focus on delivering value doesn't stop in the Age of Intelligence, rather it means building products that are actually helping your people save time and money.

Rippling will spend as much on R&D in 2024 as Paycom, Paylocity, and Paycor combined. If you are a customer of those systems, you will be a victim of their "just keep the lights on" strategy for years to come.
