Freshservice HR Agent

The Freshservice HR Agent is an AI assistant that answers employee questions about leave, profiles, timesheets and dependents. It views and updates records in BambooHR. Employees can use it in a support portal, Microsoft Teams or Slack, in over 40 languages. The studio that runs it is free for eligible Growth, Pro and Enterprise customers until 31 December 2026.

Your whole studio team reads every chat, and the offer ends in 2026

In one line

The HR Agent answers employee questions and completes leave requests in BambooHR.

Buy it if

You already run Freshservice on a Growth, Pro or Enterprise plan. You use BambooHR. You want to test an HR assistant with no budget until the end of 2026.

Do not buy it if

Employees will ask about sensitive matters and your HR team must be the only readers. Your HR system is not BambooHR. You need a firm price for 2027 before you start.

Price

Free for eligible Freshservice Growth, Pro and Enterprise customers to 31 December 2026. Freshworks has not published a price after that.

It answers leave and profile questions in BambooHR

It works inside BambooHR

The HR Agent can show an employee their leave balance and apply for leave. It can show their profile details, timesheet entries and job details. It can show their dependents and add new ones. All of these actions work in BambooHR. An employee can type “What is my leave balance?” or “Apply for leave”.

It answers policy questions from your own documents

The ready-made HR Agent handles time off updates, onboarding workflows and policy questions. It answers policy questions from content you approve. You add that content from web addresses, files, help articles, or apps such as SharePoint, Google Drive and Confluence. The ready-made assistants come with no documents attached. Your team has to add them before launch.

Employees reach it where they already chat

The same assistant runs in the Freshservice support portal, Microsoft Teams and Slack. It works in more than 40 languages.

Our guide to AI HR assistants covers how the rest of this market handles the same job.

The free promotion costs eligible customers nothing

Test it on real employee questions before you pay

Freshworks treats the promotion as a Free Service under its Supplemental Terms. Your team can run the assistant with real employee questions before you commit any budget.

A start with 20 ready-made workflows

Freshworks included 20 ready-made workflows at launch. The studio also came with 30 ready-made connections to other systems. Your team starts from working examples instead of a blank screen.

Anyone in the studio reads every chat

Anyone with studio access can read every employee chat

Anyone who can open the AI Agent Studio can read the logs of every conversation in your workspace. They can read the full history. Freshworks does not currently limit these logs by role. Nor can you limit them conversation by conversation. An employee might ask about a health leave or a grievance. That chat sits in a log your whole studio team can open. Decide who gets studio access before you launch.

The ready-made actions are for BambooHR

Every ready-made HR action works in BambooHR. If your HR system is something else, ask Freshworks whether the HR Agent connects to it and what it can do there.

It does not work in MSP mode

MSP means managed service provider. If a provider runs your Freshservice for you in this mode, the AI Agent Studio is not available.

The price after 31 December 2026 is not set

Today you cannot work out the cost of running it for a full year.

Freshworks began a restructuring plan in November 2024, mainly staff severance. A shareholder lawsuit over its 2021 share offering was filed in November 2022. The court ruled for Freshworks in April 2025, and the plaintiff has appealed. Both matter if you want a supplier that will stay stable for years.

Free for eligible customers now, unpriced after 2026

The promotion covers the Freddy AI Agent Studio. Check what your own Freshservice plan costs, because the promotion is open only to some Freshservice plans. Freshworks will share pricing and packaging details closer to the end of the promotion.

A separate product, Freddy AI Copilot, costs $29 per staff seat a month. It is not the same as the HR Agent. Ask Freshworks which one you would pay for after the promotion.

Freshworks’ terms give you 14 days to export your data after an account closes. It keeps that data for up to three months before it deletes it for good. Data from any Freshworks free trial is deleted for good if you do not export it before the trial ends. Ask Freshworks whether that rule covers the promotion.

Freshworks builds its AI features from its own models and from Microsoft Azure OpenAI models. Almost all data in its products sits in Amazon Web Services data centres.

You could also build the same steps on your own systems. We have mapped what that looks like. The HR Agent Map

Six questions for the demo

  1. Can we limit who reads employee conversations, by role or by topic? Good answer: Yes, with a date for when the setting arrives, and in writing before we sign.
  2. What will the HR Agent cost us on 1 January 2027, for our number of employees? Good answer: A written price, or a written cap on any increase.
  3. Our HR system is not BambooHR. Which of its actions can the assistant complete? Good answer: A named list of actions, shown live in a demo on our own system.
  4. What support and promises come with the free promotion? Good answer: The same terms as a paid plan, or a clear list of what differs.
  5. Where do employee chats go when Freshworks uses its own AI models and Microsoft Azure OpenAI models? Good answer: A named list of providers and the country where each one handles our data.
  6. How do we get our conversation logs out when we leave? Good answer: A file format, and a time window longer than 14 days.

Alternatives to Freshservice HR Agent

If the HR Agent does not fit, look at Leena AI, Moveworks, Workativ, Salesforce Agentforce HR Service and Atomicwork. Ask each one the same question about who can read employee chats.

You can also wait. The promotion ends on 31 December 2026, and the price after it is not set. Our market guide covers whether to buy an assistant at all.
