LifeWorks unveiled a generative AI employee assistant that improves employee’s access to policy and procedures thus expediting onboarding, training, and orientation. The development of this groundbreaking technology is supported by investment from Google Cloud.

Nonprofits face several challenges with employee onboarding, primarily due to limited resources, high turnover rates, and complex regulatory environments. Budget constraints and staff shortages can hinder the development and implementation of comprehensive onboarding programs.

In the early stages of its implementation, LifeWorks aims to sustain this functionality at a low-cost basis, thanks to continued support and funding. Key components of the LifeWorks platform are provided by Google Cloud, Redis, and Arhasi. Redis ‘ technology is used by 58% of Fortune 500 companies and provides low latency and seamless GenAI search capabilities. Compared with other vector databases, Redis provides 20X faster responses and reduced hallucinations for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in conjunction with Google’s Gemini 1.5-Flash in Vertex AI, a model that is lightweight, fast, and cost-efficient while featuring multimodal reasoning and a breakthrough long context window of up to one million tokens, and integration with top GenAI frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex. Redis also reduces LLM costs by over 30% with their semantic caching.

“Coupling Arhasi’s AI frameworks and tools is the accelerator pedal for rapid AI adoption” said Wendy Varnell, Chief Strategy Officer of LifeWorks.  “The LifeWorks AI employee assistant offers our employees a superior alternative for policy and procedure guidance.”

By leveraging these advanced technologies and the support from Google Cloud, LifeWorks is poised to revolutionize the onboarding experience, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for nonprofits.
