About us

Cascade AI scales HR's ability to provide personalized support with the most powerful AI assistant built to address employees’ human resources and benefits questions. It was founded to bring enterprise-level efficiencies to employee benefits, where great innovation is emerging at the same time cost and complexity are spiraling out of control. Cascade AI now supports human resource functions across benefits, Total Rewards, employee onboarding and offboarding, open enrollment, and more. Now, HR functions can support more employees faster; free up time to manage the dynamism and complexity of local and global business initiatives; and increase productivity and employee satisfaction to drive growth. Real-world successes so far include: + Free up HR time: Customers expect 50% of their existing HR inquiry ticketing volume will be immediately addressed by using Cascade AI, with up to 85% possible as users adopt it. + Employees turn to AI for complex, private questions: Employees are asking Cascade AI about sensitive benefits topics they wouldn’t ask of managers, like mental health, career coaching, family leave and weight loss support + First-Line HR Resource: Customers with complex business structures and diverse teams saw such positive employee uptake they’re making Cascade AI the tier one resource for all HR inquiries globally, creating an efficient support path that didn’t exist before. + Rapid Implementation: Building the AI assistant takes just hours, and collaborating with HR teams to launch the trained AI for employees can take as little as 14 days.

  • Our Ana-Maria Constantin sat down with John Brazier of #HR innovation news channel Unleash to talk about how #AI technology is reshaping #humanresources.    Key takeaways: ✨ "What truly excites us – and I think this is revolutionary in terms of what generative AI enables organizations to do – is that we can solve for both enterprise efficiency and improving the employee experience in the same platform." 🌎 AI-empowered HR teams will actually change the world. Strategic corporate initiatives like digital transformation, the ‘fourth industrial revolution’, building more globalized companies, and adapting to climate shifts cannot happen without the focused, strategy-level support of human resources.  ⏩ We predict HR will lead the way on enterprise AI adoption in 2025.

  • AI is transforming jobs and reshaping the way we work—putting #HR at the center of this massive shift. With AI actively changing the workforce, CHROs play a pivotal role in driving enterprise-wide transformation.   How can #humanresources lead the charge? By creating urgency, building the right team or AI coalition, and securing executive sponsorship, HR can address key challenges like enhancing onboarding support, improving L&D experiences, streamlining Open Enrollment, and driving productivity gains for Shared Services teams.   If you're considering AI to deliver against new workforce demands, read our latest blog post to see what transformation could look like when HR takes the lead. #AIforHR #HRTech https://lnkd.in/gub69ZXV

    Director, Global Benefits & Retirement at Boomi

    Happy Open Enrollment season to all who celebrate! 🥳 Been super quiet the last few months, but that's because I've been busy implementing and launching exciting new benefit tools for our employees at Boomi! This morning, we went live with Cascade AI ✨ - a game changer for Benefits and HR questions. Cascade compiles our massive library of documents and generates quick and accurate answers directly from own policies. It's a win-win solution that helps support employees while also relieving the volume of inquiries for our teams. We kicked things off in the U.S. and will be gradually expanding content for our other global entities. We also launched our virtual benefits counselor ALEX by Jellyvision to our U.S. colleagues, to help recommend benefit plans that are the best fit for them and their families. Everyone's situation is unique and there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to benefit elections, but ALEX can help narrow things down. Both Cascade and ALEX can demystify your burning benefits questions like whether you should consider an HSA (pro tip: yes), understanding deductibles/coinsurance/out-of-pocket maximums, the life insurance medical underwriting process... 🤯 the list goes on! And more enhancements are on the horizon! It's amazing to see how far technology has come in the HR space the last few years and how it can help automate our processes and improve the employee experience 🚀

  • Great insights in this podcast into how disconnects can accidentally form between HR and the front-line workforce. Jonathan H. Westover, PhD, MPA, AF-CIPD, SFHEA and David Wentworth point out that since processes tend to calcify over time and strategies don't always adapt to evolving workforces, disconnections can get built in "institutionally," even when #humanresources leaders are trying to do right by their people.    We loved these points: 🎯 Learning and development training that used to happen in-person doesn't anymore, so it's crucial that remote and on-demand tools be engaging and accessible.  ⏰ Flexible and "just in time" resources are crucial to meeting people with resources when they're in a mindset to use them 🙆 Shaking off the old ways can seem intimidating, but it's in the best interest of everyone to regularly explore new technologies and approaches. The workforce is ready for them, and #HR deserves the investment.

  • There's a big difference between AI that "almost works," and AI that **changes the way we work.** That's why we're seeing the concept of "vertical AI" really taking off, where an #AI assistant is built explicitly for a specific function or industry, in collaboration with end users who know the needs best. Casetext, Part of Thomson Reuters, a vertical AI built for lawyers, is a beautiful example. Watch founder Jake Heller and Y Combinator discuss how an idea for improving legal inefficiency evolved with the industry in mind, overcame doubt, and became so useful that Thomson Reuters bought the company for $650M.   When AIs are built for specific functions, like legal or #humanresources, they are able to: ** Understand the needs of the end user, so all efforts can be directed at making that user's work and life and output better. ** Go beyond being a "ChatGPT wrapper" to actually doing work in new ways. ** Take a resource from "almost working" to being so accurate and reliable that lawyers -- or human resources professionals and their employees - can put their full trust in its output. https://lnkd.in/g3yJNNPT #FutureOfWork #HR #HRTech #EmployeeBenefits

  • Charlene Li nails why #HR is the "secret weapon" for making AI a seamless part of business processes. We'd add to that metaphor: HR can also be the "tip of the spear." Scaling HR employee support functions can be one of the fastest, most secure, high-impact ways to deploy #AI when leveraging intelligent systems built with the right guardrails. We're already seeing executive boards that have deployed AI for enterprise-wide employee support looking to their HR teams as AI leaders and ambassadors for other departments. #HRTech #FutureOfWork
