AI agents for Zoho People
A Monmo agent works in Zoho People the way an HR coordinator would. It checks leave balances and attendance, chases missing timesheets, prepares onboarding for new starters and drafts answers to employee questions from your policies. It uses your own Zoho account and the role it already has. Approving leave, changing an employee record or posting an announcement always waits for you.

What agents do in Zoho People
Answer leave questions from the policy
When someone asks how many days they have left or whether a half day counts, the agent reads their leave balance and your leave policy, then drafts a short, exact answer.
AskPriya asked how much annual leave she has left after her December request. Check and draft my reply.
Review pending leave requests
Every Monday at 9 it lists pending leave requests with the dates, the remaining balance and who else in that department is away the same week. Approving or rejecting each one asks first.
AskEvery Monday at 9, show me pending leave requests and any clashes within the same team.
Find attendance gaps
It compares check-in and check-out entries with each person's shift, finds missing punches and regularisation requests still waiting, and prepares a short list for every manager to look at.
AskFind everyone with a missing check-out last week and prepare a list for each manager.
Chase timesheets before payroll
Two days before the cut-off it finds timesheets not yet submitted or approved, grouped by project and client, and drafts reminders in Gmail or Outlook that you send in one batch.
AskOn the 23rd of each month, list unsubmitted timesheets and draft a reminder to each person.
Prepare a new starter's onboarding
From the offer details it drafts the employee profile, the onboarding checklist, a welcome email and first-week meetings in Google Calendar. Creating the record and sending anything asks first.
AskMarco starts on 6 January as support lead. Prepare his onboarding and show me everything before it is created.
Sort open HR cases
It reads the cases employees have raised, groups them into payroll, benefits, IT and other categories, drafts answers to the routine ones from your HR documents and leaves sensitive cases with you.
AskGo through this week's open HR cases, draft answers to the routine ones and flag anything about pay or conduct.
Build the monthly HR report
On the first of each month it pulls headcount, joiners, leavers and absence by department, and writes them up in Google Sheets with a few lines on what changed since last month.
AskOn the 1st, build last month's HR report: headcount, joiners, leavers and absence by department.
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Zoho account once. The agent works with the role that account holds in Zoho People, so a manager login reaches that manager's team while an HR administrator reaches more.
- 2You choose which agents may use Zoho People. An operations or HR agent that handles leave and onboarding needs it; a marketing or research agent does not.
- 3Reading balances, attendance, timesheets and cases happens without asking. Approving leave, editing an employee record, adding a new hire or posting an announcement asks first, and one card can cover a batch.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent approve leave requests in Zoho People?
It prepares the decision and you make it. The agent lists each pending request with the balance, the team's other absences and the rule in your policy, then puts its suggestion on a card. When you allow it, the approval is made through the Zoho People connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something.
Can it answer employee HR questions from our policies?
Yes, as drafts you check. Ask it to handle questions about leave, holidays or benefits and the AI agent reads the employee's record and the policy documents you keep, then drafts an answer that names the rule it used. You decide whether it goes out. Questions about pay disputes, health or conduct come straight to you.
Is it safe to give an AI agent access to employee data?
The agent sees only what the Zoho People account you connect can see, so pick a role that fits the work. Fields such as salary or bank details stay out of reach when that role cannot open them. It never edits a record without your approval, and you can watch its screen or disconnect it at any time.
Does it work with Zoho Recruit and the rest of Zoho?
Yes, with each app connected on its own. When a candidate is marked as hired in Zoho Recruit, the agent can read the candidate, draft the Zoho People profile and the first-week plan, and ask before creating anything. Zoho CRM and Zoho Books connect the same way if your team uses them.
