Creating an onboarding request for a new hire
Scenario: Hiring manager Paul needs to initiate onboarding for a new software engineer starting next month.
Paul: I need to start onboarding for our new hire, Jennifer Lee. She starts May 1st as a Senior Software Engineer.
AI Agent: I can create that onboarding request. To confirm before I proceed, what
department will Jennifer be in, and does she need any specialized equipment or
software?
Paul: She'll be in Platform Engineering, and she'll need a MacBook Pro and IntelliJ
Ultimate license.
AI Agent: The onboarding request has been created for Jennifer Lee starting May 1, 2026,
