@Paylocity @getaidora @rhianagademsky @DhiwakarNA @OrlandVallejos @verticalSaaS And my family and friends ❤️ who lived every high and low of this journey with me.

None of it happens without them.

[Anant Agarwal @anantinvent]

Today, @Paylocity acquired @getaidora.

3 years ago my cofounder @rhianagademsky and I went all-in on the least glamorous corner of HR: leave of absence.

[Anant Agarwal @anantinvent]

@Paylocity @getaidora @rhianagademsky None of this happens without @rhianagademsky, my cofounder, @DhiwakarNA and @OrlandVallejos who bet on us at the very beginning, our entire 14-person team, @verticalSaaS who took a chance when Aidora was barely an idea, and our investors who gave us 3 years to prove it.

Anna can speak fluently in user’s language, so emps can ask Qs, get guidance, and navigate their leave in the language they’re most comfortable with.

This is the 5th and final capability we’re introducing this week.

That wraps up Anna Launch Week.
More to come 👀

Anna Launch Week: Day 5 🚀

Leave is hard enough.
Language should not make it harder.

Over the last 4 days, we showed how Anna can answer Qs, take action, receive 📞, and go beyond the traditional case manager.

Today’s capability makes Anna even more accessible.

Quick peek 👇

[Anant Agarwal @anantinvent]

Now employees can simply ask Anna.

That means guidance not only on leave itself, but also on the surrounding programs & support that may matter before, during, or after a leave.

This is something a traditional 3rd party leave case manager often cannot do.

Anna Launch Week: Day 4 🚀

This is where Anna starts to go beyond the traditional leave case manager.

A leave is not just paperwork. It’s a life event.

Employees need help finding the broader benefits & support resources their employer offers around that leave.

Quick peek 👇

[Anant Agarwal @anantinvent]

Emps and HRs can call +1-956-MY-LEAVE and get help instantly.

Over the 📞 they can:
• ask questions about a leave
• get guidance in real time
• take action on a leave

No voicemail, no callback queue, and no waiting for biz hours.

Only instant support.

Anna Launch Week: Day 3 🚀

How many times have you called a case manager and got stuck on a voicemail?

Leave questions don’t only come up from 9 to 5.
Getting help shouldn’t depend on business hours.

Now you can call Anna, just like you would a real leave admin.

Quick peek👇

[Anant Agarwal @anantinvent]

This is what makes Anna different from a generic Q&A bot.

It doesn’t stop at explaining policies.
It helps users actually take action.

And because Anna acts in the context of the user’s leave, those actions are grounded in their actual situation.

Checkout @getaidora.

Anna Launch Week: Day 2 🚀

Day 1 was about understanding leave.
Day 2 is about action.

Anna doesn’t just answer questions. It gets things done.

LoA is stressful enough. Emps shouldn't have to navigate forms or wait for a case manager just to create/modify leaves.

Quick peek👇

[Anant Agarwal @anantinvent]

Now employees can simply talk to Anna.

With this capability, they can:
• create a leave
• modify a leave
• submit a leave request

All through conversation.
