Introducing ROSI: A Chat with Rival’s Newest Teammate
A totally, absolutely real interview between Rival HR and our newest (and possibly smartest) team member, ROSI.
RIVAL:
Hey there, ROSI. Welcome aboard! Let’s start with the obvious. Who are you?
ROSI:
I’m so thrilled to be here! I’m ROSI — short for Rival OS Intelligence — and I’m the first built-in, AI knowledge agent in the market. I live inside Rival Workflow and help HR teams find answers, spot risks, and move work forward. No tab toggling, no “I’ll get back to you,” and definitely no dashboard diving. If you’re in the middle of something and need the scoop? I’m already there with it.
RIVAL:
So… are you a chatbot? Or one of those AI assistants?
ROSI:
Oh wow… I know you did not just call me a chatbot. I mean, no offense to those little bots, but I’m an AI agent!
I don’t spit out FAQ answers or just point you to a help doc. I actually understand what you’re trying to do. I connect the dots, pull real-time data from your actual workflows, and help you take action right then and there. Please think of me less like a robot and more like your extremely organized, detail-obsessed coworker who never sleeps.
RIVAL:
And where do you “live,” exactly?
ROSI:
Right where the work happens—in Rival Workflow. Preboarding, onboarding, compliance, training and mobility? I’m already in the thread, ready to help. No plug-ins, no downloads, no browser treasure hunts. Just me, waiting to make you look wildly on top of things.
RIVAL:
What can people ask you?
ROSI:
What can’t they ask? If it’s HR-related and tied to a workflow, I’m on it. Ask who hasn’t signed a policy. Ask what’s overdue in onboarding. Ask which department is lagging on training. I speak fluent HR, and I don’t need you to ask twice (or rephrase).
RIVAL:
How do you know all this? Do you have spies?
ROSI:
No spies! Just your gal on the inside. I pull live data straight from Rival Workflow: tasks, documents, employee records, the works. So, when I say someone’s behind on compliance? It’s not a vibe. It’s verified.
RIVAL:
Okay, but what if I’m juggling onboarding team members, general HR pings, benefits questions, and an iced coffee?
ROSI:
Perfect. That’s my natural habitat. I’m like a radar for risk with a flair for efficiency. I flag what’s slipping, highlight what’s overdue, and bubble up exactly who needs a nudge. You handle the people stuff. I’ll handle the ping-pong.
RIVAL:
Can employees use you, too?
ROSI:
Yes please! I’m here for everyone. I help employees update their direct deposit, find their onboarding checklist, check vacation policy, you name it. Fewer “quick question” emails for HR, and faster answers for folks who just want to get things done without hunting through handbooks. I’m here to take the busy work off HR’s plate and help employees feel like they’ve got support.
RIVAL:
Let’s talk visibility—can you show task lists and progress?
ROSI:
Oh yeah, I love a list. I can break it down by person, department, event, timeframe, whatever lens you need. Want to see who’s crushing onboarding or dragging their feet on training? Just ask. I’ll have it ready, sorted, and sparkle-organized.
RIVAL:
And how do you stay accurate? We’ve seen what AI can do when it gets… creative.
ROSI:
Let’s just say I’m not in the fiction business. I bring receipts. I pull from your live org data, in real time. No hallucinations, no “it depends,” and no guesswork. And I check the source. Every time. If it’s not verified, I don’t say it.
RIVAL:
What about reports? Are we still exporting CSVs and crying into spreadsheets?
ROSI:
Oh, I can pull them. And it is not a whole thing. Want a task report from January through May? You’ll get completions, overdue counts, even top performers, right in the thread. No exporting. No Excel gymnastics. Just ask and boom — insights, served fresh.
RIVAL:
And the big question I know a lot of people worry about: how secure are you?
ROSI:
Locked down like the last piece of birthday cake in the break room. No need to worry about me. I only share data based on your permissions. I don’t touch sensitive PII. Everything I do is encrypted, logged, and audit-ready. I’m secure enough to make IT proud, and polite enough that even Legal likes me.
RIVAL:
Last one. Why should someone use you?
ROSI:
Because I’m not an afterthought. I’ve got moxie and I’m built for this. I live where HR lives, understand how work flows, and never get tired of being helpful. I don’t fake answers. I don’t waste time. And I show up every day ready to make your life easier—with smarts and speed, even if I say so myself!
Well, you heard it here. By delivering live insights, surfacing risks, and clearing the clutter of daily work, ROSI keeps HR in motion, and frees you up to focus on what really matters: your people. Built right inside Rival Workflow, she’s smart, secure, and always ready to help. You can meet ROSI right here.
