Before you start
The Personal assistant lets you find Talento information and complete tasks through a conversation. Write what you need in your own words: you do not need to learn commands or know the technical name of each option.
Answers come from your company's real data. The assistant follows the same permissions and visibility rules as Talento. If you cannot open information in the application, you should not be able to obtain it through the conversation either.
Information
Your company must enable AI features and give you access to use the assistant. If it does not appear in your menu, ask an administrator.
Open the Personal assistant
- Open Personal assistant from the Talento menu.
- Enter your request in the Write your message here... field.
- Send the message and wait for the response to finish before continuing.
Some pages can also open the assistant in a side panel. Where supported, the panel keeps the context of the page you are viewing.
Write a clear request
Start with the action or information you need, then add details that identify it. A pattern that works well is what + when + criteria.
- Dates: “Show my clock-in entries from last week.”
- Amounts: “Log a EUR 25 taxi expense from today.”
- People: “Find Ana Garcia in the Sales team.”
- Outcome: “I want to request annual leave from 15 to 19 July.”
Compare “My absences” (you get them all and filter yourself) with “The vacation days I have taken this year” (you go straight to what you need).
If a detail is missing or more than one record matches, the assistant may ask you to clarify. Reply in the same conversation without repeating everything you already provided.
Tip
Use specific names, dates, and amounts. “Show my March expenses” produces a more useful result than “Show expenses.”
Find information about my work
Depending on your company's features, you can ask for help to:
- clock in, review schedules, and check hours worked;
- request time off, see remaining allowance, and list pending requests;
- record expenses and see which ones still need approval;
- review goals, tasks, surveys, and evaluations;
- find people in the directory and see who is off today;
- book rooms or other resources;
- summarise hours, expenses, or goals for a period.
For analysis, ask for the takeaway, not the table: “How are my vacation days looking this year?” is usually more useful than “List my absences.”
You can also ask for a briefing of what is on your plate, or an analysis that crosses several areas:
- “What should I focus on today?”
- “Summarise my month: hours worked, absences, and progress on my goals.”
- “Based on my hours and open tasks, do I have capacity to take on more this month?”
- “If I take three days off next month, which deadlines would be affected?”
The assistant does not replace the other Talento guides. For the detail of a specific feature, open its page in the Help centre.
Review an action before continuing
The assistant may retrieve information or make a change. The flow depends on the task:
- Some actions show a preview. Check names, dates, amounts, and states. Nothing in the preview is applied until you confirm it.
- Some straightforward actions can run immediately. The final response tells you whether the action was completed or an error occurred.
If a preview is wrong, do not confirm it. Explain the correction in your next message, such as: “Change the date to 16 July.”
For the full create-and-edit flow, see Create and edit with the assistant.
Warning
The assistant can misunderstand a request or return an incomplete answer. Check important details and open the relevant Talento page when you need to verify that a change was recorded correctly.
Continue a conversation or start a new one
You can ask follow-up questions such as “What about the previous month?” or “Show only the pending ones.” The assistant uses earlier messages in the active conversation as context.
If you repeat the same requests, star them to save them. Open Saved messages from the chat menu to reuse them without typing them again.
Select New chat when you change topic completely, or when answers start mixing earlier conversations. Talento clears the previous conversation from view and opens a new one for the current day.
If an administrator has enabled Assistant memory, Talento can remember stable preferences across conversations. That memory does not store a copy of the chat history; it stores durable preferences inferred from it.
Common problems
- Rewrite the request as one clear task with more specific details.
- Check that names and dates belong to the company you currently have open.
- Start a New chat if earlier messages are interfering with the request.
- If you see Out of AI credits, contact an administrator.
- If the service is unavailable, wait a few minutes and try again.
Do not repeat a create request several times without checking Talento first. If the first request completed despite an unclear response, repeating it could create duplicate records.
