🚀 Inspiration We were inspired by the inefficiencies in traditional HR operations — especially in startups and mid-sized companies where HR teams are overwhelmed with repetitive requests. Tasks like leave tracking, onboarding, and answering the same policy questions over and over drain valuable time. We asked: "What if a smart, AI-driven agent could handle all that — instantly?" And thus, Smart HR Agent Workflow was born.

🛠️ How We Built It We built the entire project using Bolt.new — a no-code/low-code platform for rapidly creating full-stack applications — along with Google Cloud tools. Here's a breakdown of the tech stack and components we used:

Frontend UI: Built with Bolt components and logic

Chatbot Workflow: Simulated Dialogflow/NLP for leave requests, onboarding, and policy FAQs

Database: Firestore and Google Sheets for storing leave logs and user data

Email Automation: Gmail API integration for manager approvals

Deployment: Hosted on Netlify, connected to a custom domain

Voice AI: Voiceover generated with ElevenLabs

Monetization: Simulated subscription flow with RevenueCat

🧩 Challenges We Faced Staying within the 3-minute demo limit while showing full functionality

Simulating real-time approval workflows without a backend API

Making a friendly AI chatbot UX without using external AI APIs due to hackathon limitations

Deploying custom domain and badge on time while meeting all bonus prize requirements

Keeping the UI intuitive and mobile-friendly across all views

📚 What We Learned How to design end-to-end workflows in Bolt.new using triggers, forms, conditions, and outputs

How to use Google Cloud Workflows, Gmail API, and Google Sheets as real-time backends

The power of low-code + AI when combined thoughtfully

How to prepare for multiple prize tracks strategically without bloating the product

💥 What's Next? We plan to:

Launch Smart HR Agent as a SaaS product for small HR teams

Expand integration with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat

Add AI document search using embeddings + vector DB

Include a freemium model via RevenueCat and launch on marketplaces

With Smart HR Agent Workflow, HR teams can finally focus on people — not paperwork.
