AI agents for Deputy
A Monmo agent works in Deputy the way a sharp shift manager would. It drafts next week's schedule from availability and leave, finds cover for open shifts, checks timesheets before they go to payroll and compares labour cost with sales by location. It uses your own Deputy login, and nothing reaches your staff until you allow the schedule, the offer or the approval.

What agents do in Deputy
Draft next week's schedule
From your shift templates, each person's availability and approved leave, it drafts next week's schedule by location and area, and flags gaps and overtime. Publishing it to staff asks first.
AskDraft next week's schedule for the Riverside location from the usual template and show me gaps and overtime.
Find cover for an open shift
When a shift opens up at short notice, it finds people trained for that area who are free and under their weekly hours, ranks them, and prepares the offer for you to allow.
AskSaturday's 7am bar shift is open. Who can cover it without going into overtime?
Check timesheets before payroll
Each Monday it compares last week's timesheets with the schedule, finds late starts, missed breaks and unusual overtime, and lists what to fix before export to Xero or Gusto. Approving asks first.
AskEvery Monday at 7, check last week's timesheets against the schedule and list anything I should fix before approving.
Sort leave and swap requests
It reads pending leave and shift swap requests, checks them against the minimum staffing you set for each area, and suggests approve or decline for each one on a single card.
AskGo through this week's swap and leave requests and tell me which ones leave the kitchen short.
Compare labour cost with sales
Using daily sales from Square or your point of sale, it sets scheduled labour cost against revenue by location in Google Sheets and points out the days where staffing looked heavy.
AskCompare last month's labour cost with sales for each location, day by day, and mark the heaviest shifts.
Check shifts against break rules
Before a schedule goes out it checks every shift against the break, rest-period and minor-employee rules you give it, and lists each shift that would break one, with a suggested fix.
AskCheck the draft schedule for shifts with less than 10 hours' rest between them.
Post the weekly team update
It drafts the week's post for the news feed: changed opening hours, new starters, a reminder about the stock count. You read it and allow the post before staff see it.
AskDraft this week's news feed post: new hours on Sunday, welcome Ana and Tom, stock count on Thursday.
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Deputy account once. A system administrator login sees every location; a location manager login sees only the sites that person manages, and the agent works within the same limits.
- 2You choose which agents may use Deputy. An operations agent that plans shifts needs it, and a bookkeeping agent may need timesheets for payroll; agents that research or write content do not.
- 3Reading schedules, timesheets, leave and availability happens without asking. Publishing a schedule, offering a shift, approving a timesheet or leave, or posting to the news feed asks first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent build schedules in Deputy?
It can draft them. The agent works from your templates, staff availability, approved leave and the rules you give it, then shows the schedule with gaps, overtime and rule breaks marked. You adjust it and allow publishing, which happens through the Deputy connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something.
Will my staff see a schedule before I approve it?
No. The agent's schedule stays a draft until you allow it to be published, so staff hear nothing about it before then. The same goes for shift offers and replies to leave requests: each one is shown to you first, and one card can cover a whole week of changes.
Can it get Deputy timesheets ready for payroll?
Yes, up to the approval. The AI agent checks each timesheet against the schedule, flags missing breaks, unplanned overtime and forgotten clock-outs, and gives you a list to settle. Approving timesheets and exporting them to Xero, QuickBooks or Gusto ask first, and pay itself stays with your payroll process.
Which Deputy access level should I connect?
Connect the lowest level that covers the job. A location manager login is enough for one site's schedule and timesheets. Use a system administrator login only if the agent should plan across every location, and remember the agent can do anything that login could do once you approve it.
