Your dashboard, as a conversation.
One switch turns PunchClock into an assistant that knows your team. Ask in plain English, get the answer from your live punches, rotas, leave and payroll, and tell it to fix what it finds.

Three people forgot to clock out last night. Here is the same fix, done both ways.
- Open Live and change the date to yesterday
- Work out who is still showing as clocked in
- Open the first person’s timesheet
- Add the missing clock-out and save
- Repeat for the next two people
- Go back and check nobody was missed
Done. All three clocked out at 17:00, and their hours and pay are updated.

And ask your own handbook.
Upload your staff handbook, policies and the labour law you work under. The HR assistant answers from those documents only, and names the ones it used, so you can open them and check.
Smart, and on a short lead.
Only your company
Every answer is drawn from your own account. It never sees another customer’s data.
Waits for your yes
Clock times, leave, rotas, staff records and payslip emails all wait for you to confirm.
Every change logged
Each change records who asked and when, and punches it sets are marked AI Adjusted.
Follows your roles
Users on basic HR access can ask about attendance, but cannot see pay or make changes.
Before you switch it on.
Where do I find AI Mode?
Click AI Mode at the top of your Today screen to switch the dashboard into the AI workspace, and Classic to switch back. A chat button also sits in the corner of every dashboard page.
Can it change my data without asking?
No. Anything that changes a record, such as clock times, leave, rotas, staff details or payslip emails, is set out first and waits for you to reply yes.
Can it see other companies’ data?
No. It only ever works with your own company’s account.
Who in my team can use it?
Dashboard users. Users on basic HR access can ask about attendance, but cannot see pay or make changes.
Is every change recorded?
Yes. Each change is logged with who asked and when, and punches it sets are marked AI Adjusted on the timesheet.
Can it read our handbook?
Upload your handbook, policies and labour law to the AI Library and the HR assistant there answers from those documents, naming the ones it used.
