hannahHR is an AI-powered HR assistant designed for Canadian small and medium-sized businesses. We provide instant, compliant answers to employee HR questions through SMS, Slack, email, and web chat. hannahHR pulls information directly from your employee handbook and relevant provincial employment standards to give your team accurate, immediate support—without you having to answer the same questions over and over.
hannahHR is built for Canadian SMBs, particularly those in blue-collar industries like construction, warehousing, retail, hospitality, and multi-location franchises. If you're a business owner or manager spending hours each week answering repetitive HR questions, or if 81% of your team doesn't have access to dedicated HR support, hannahHR is for you.
Business owners using hannahHR reclaim 3-5 hours weekly that they previously spent answering repetitive HR questions. Employees get instant answers to common questions about vacation policies, sick leave, overtime, benefits, and more—freeing you to focus on growing your business instead of being the go-to HR encyclopedia.
Your employees are already searching Google and asking ChatGPT about their workplace rights—but those tools don't know your specific policies or the nuances of Canadian provincial employment law. hannahHR is trained on YOUR employee handbook and the specific Employment Standards Act for each province where your employees work. That means accurate, compliant answers tailored to your business, not generic internet advice.
Employee privacy is at the core of everything we do. All employee questions are completely anonymous—management never sees who asked what. This solves the workplace trust paradox: employees want answers but fear their questions reaching management. With hannahHR, they can ask sensitive questions about parental leave, termination policies, or workplace rights without worrying about judgment or repercussions.
You'll see anonymized themes and trends—never individual questions tied to specific employees. This helps you understand what information gaps exist in your organization and address systemic issues, while maintaining complete individual privacy. It's transparency without surveillance.
Yes. Your employee handbook, policies, and company documents are totally secure within the hannahHR interface and accessible only by members of your own organization. We're committed to Canadian privacy standards (PIPEDA/PIPA compliance) and your documents never leave our secure system.
hannahHR stores your employee handbook, company policies, and employment documentation that you upload. Employee interactions are anonymized and aggregated for reporting purposes only. We never sell or share your data with third parties.
hannahHR uses RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) technology, which means she pulls information exclusively from documents you've uploaded—your employee handbook, policies, and relevant provincial Employment Standards Acts. She doesn't search the broader internet or make up answers. If information isn't in your uploaded documents or the relevant employment standards, she'll escalate to your designated point person.
hannahHR is trained with specific guardrails about what she can and cannot answer. If an answer isn't readily available in your handbook, SOPs, or the local Employment Standards Act, she'll explain that she cannot answer that particular question and indicate the appropriate point of contact for more information. This ensures employees always get directed to the right resource.
Currently, hannahHR works in English-first provinces across Canada. We're actively working on Quebec support and bilingual capabilities. If you need French-language support, reach out to us at hello@hannahhr.com and we can discuss your timeline.
Sometimes, hannahHR can misunderstand the question and retrieve the wrong information!

We'll investigate immediately and ensure this type of error doesn't happen again. Our system learns and improves based on your feedback.
