HR & recruitment ## People files that stay inside the company. The challenge.Grievances, investigations and CVs are some of the most personal documents a company holds, and AI used on them is a high-risk use under the EU AI Act. With AssistantGeneral.Two workspaces, because they are two jobs. HR works with the people you have: it answers from your own policies, writes up meetings, builds an investigation timeline and drafts the outcome letter. Recruitment works with the people you are hiring: set the criteria first, write the job description, and prepare the interviews. In both, a person makes every decision — the app says so on screen and will not hide it. - Separate HR and Recruitment workspaces, each with its own persona - Role criteria written down before the advert goes out - Every document stays on the company's own computers Financial services ## Close-of-month reporting in minutes, not days. The challenge.Analysts spend days reconciling spreadsheets from a dozen sources before a single report goes to the board. With AssistantGeneral.Connect your read-only database and reporting folders. AssistantGeneral pulls the numbers, builds the workbook with the formulas already computed, audits its own figures against the source, and hands you a finished .xlsx — not a description of one. - Read-only database queries (Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake) - Self-audited Excel generation with computed formulas - Full inference trace for audit trails Manufacturing & engineering ## One assistant across plant floor and head office. The challenge.Technical documentation, maintenance logs and supplier contracts live in different systems no single tool reads end to end. With AssistantGeneral.Connectors sync SharePoint and cloud drives into one knowledge base, and a connected account reads your ticketing system. The Mechanic persona answers maintenance questions on the floor; the same install handles supplier contract review in procurement — governed by separate policies. - 20 built-in connectors unify scattered documentation - Per-group policy keeps plant-floor and office access separate - Runs with no internet once set up, for isolated plant networks [Previous Law firms, courts and healthcare.](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/use-cases/law-and-health/) [Next Public sector, defence and messaging.](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/use-cases/public-sector/) [All of AssistantGeneral use cases](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/use-cases/)
