AI agents for Personio
A Monmo agent works in Personio like an HR generalist's assistant. It lays out absence requests with balances and team cover, summarises new applications against each position, drafts documents from your Personio templates, checks attendance before payroll closes and keeps performance cycles on schedule. It works with the access you give it, and every change to an employee, an application or a document asks first.

What agents do in Personio
Lay out absence requests with cover
Each morning it lists open absence requests with the person's remaining balance and who else in the team is away, and sends each supervisor their list. The supervisor decides; nothing is approved for them.
AskEvery weekday at 9, send each supervisor their open absence requests with balances and team cover.
Summarise new applications
For each open position it reads new applications and writes a short summary against the requirements you set, with the evidence from the CV. Who moves forward is decided by the hiring team, not the agent.
AskSummarise this week's applications for the Customer Success Lead position against the requirements, one paragraph each.
Draft documents from your templates
For an employment certificate, a contract change or a salary letter, it fills your Personio document template with the right employee data and shows the draft. Saving it or sending it for signature asks first.
AskDraft an employment certificate for Lena from our template and show me before saving it to her profile.
Check attendance before payroll
Before payroll closes it compares recorded attendance with contracted hours, lists missing days, overtime and unapproved entries, and drafts a reminder to each person, so payroll preparation goes out complete.
AskThree days before payroll closes, list missing or unapproved attendance for October and draft reminders.
Keep the performance cycle on time
During a review cycle it tracks which reviews are open, reminds managers in Slack or Microsoft Teams a week before the deadline and gathers each person's goals into a brief. Ratings stay with the managers.
AskDuring the review cycle, remind managers with open reviews every Monday and send me progress by team.
Prepare onboarding for a new hire
When a hire is confirmed it prepares the employee profile from the signed contract, lists the onboarding steps and drafts the welcome email with day-one details. Creating the profile and sending the email ask first.
AskPrepare Jonas's onboarding: profile from his contract, onboarding steps and a welcome email for 2 December.
Build the monthly people report
On the first of each month it builds headcount, joiners, leavers and absence days by type and team from Personio, in Google Sheets, with the change from last month noted at the top.
AskOn the 1st of every month, send me headcount, joiners, leavers and absence days by team.
How it connects
- 1You connect Personio once. API access in Personio is set up by an admin, who chooses which employee attributes it may read, so the agent sees only the fields you allowed.
- 2You choose which agents use Personio. An HR operations or recruiting agent fits; employee data is personal, so keep it to the one or two agents whose job needs it.
- 3Reading profiles, absences, attendance and applications needs no approval. Creating or editing an employee, approving an absence, changing an application's status, saving a document and sending anything ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent approve absences in Personio?
It prepares the decision and the supervisor makes it. A Monmo agent lists each request with the remaining balance, the team's cover and any clash, so approving takes seconds. If a supervisor asks it to record a decision, it shows a card before changing anything in Personio.
Can it screen applicants in Personio recruiting?
It summarises applications against the requirements you set and shows the evidence for each point, so your hiring team reads less and decides faster. It does not reject or advance anyone on its own; changing an application's status or emailing a candidate asks first, and the decision is yours.
Which Personio data can the agent see?
Only what the access set up in Personio allows. An admin chooses which employee attributes are readable, so you can leave out salary or other sensitive fields entirely. The AI agent works through the Personio connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something, and that browser session is limited to the login you give it.
Can it create employee documents from Personio templates?
Yes. It fills your templates, such as employment certificates or contract changes, with the right employee data and shows you the draft. Saving the document to a profile or sending it for signature through DocuSign asks first, and you can edit anything before you allow it.
