Darwinbox Cortex™ Comes to Slack, a Salesforce Company

The AI-native HCM is now available on the Slack Marketplace, putting requests, approvals and onboarding inside the conversation where work is already decided.

What changes

Ask and act, without switching. Whether it is addressing leave, payroll and benefits queries, expenses, or policy questions, Cortex understands the request in natural language, executes the workflow, and confirms the outcome, all in the same thread.

Approvals in the channel. Time off, expenses, job opportunities and candidate offers, each are served up with context for fast approvals.

Onboarding as a conversation. New hires can quickly move through compliance, documentation, introductions and first-week milestones in Slack, with progress simultaneously tracked in Darwinbox and a nudge raised when a step stalls.

Every resolution compounds. What employees ask, where requests stall, which policies cause confusion all serve as inputs to improve subsequent responses and recommendations over time.

“HR software spent four decades asking employees to come to it. Cortex is built on the opposite premise. It goes to them,” said Chaitanya Peddi, Co-founder, Darwinbox. “Slack is where work gets decided, and placing an AI-native HCM into that conversation removes barriers and makes the platform smarter for the whole organization.”

“Slack is where work happens, and AI has fundamentally reshaped how teams get things done. That’s why we want the best AI tools meeting people right there, in their flow of work,” said Gregg Rybicki, Senior Director Partner Engineering. “Darwinbox bringing an AI-native HCM into Slack means employees get answers and managers get context without breaking their flow.”
