HR Assistant Agent with Codex
Nobody waits patiently for an answer in a Slack thread. The job is small and well shaped: one mention in, one search, one page read, two or three sentences plus the link out. Codex moves quickly on tasks that concrete, and speed is most of what makes an assistant like this feel worth using instead of DMing a human.
Watch it work before it's live
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

Set up in minutes
Using this template drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:
Connect Slack
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.
Connect Notion
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.
Company name
Your company name as your team says it in Slack, so the assistant sounds like it works there.
Policy notes
Where your policies live in Notion, page or database by page, covering leave, benefits, expenses, and working hours, plus any rule your team follows that nobody has written down yet. The assistant only ever answers from what you list here.
Hr contact
Who takes what a document cannot answer, written exactly as you want it said in Slack: a person's handle, an HR channel, or an email. If different people cover different things, say which is which.

Why Codex for this agent
Replies while they are looking
An answer that arrives in seconds gets read; one that arrives in five minutes gets missed. Short, bounded tasks are where a fast harness shows.
Handles the lookup cleanly
Notion search and page reads are API-shaped work, and the reply itself is short and framed by your instructions rather than open-ended writing.
Before you fork
What does it cost when the whole company asks at once?
Billing is per question rather than per employee, so a normal week is a few dozen short runs and open enrollment is a busier one. Each run is a search, a page read and a couple of sentences, which keeps the cost per answer small even on a noisy day.
