New starter onboarding pack
New starters lose their first fortnight looking for documents and permissions nobody remembered to arrange. This agent builds the onboarding plan for a role from material your organisation already has: the team wiki, the last starter's plan, the access checklist and the induction schedule. The manager approves it before the starter sees it.
Step by step
Take the role and start date
The agent reads the approved role brief and the start details, then finds the onboarding plan used for the closest comparable role.
Assemble the access checklist
Tools, systems and equipment for the role are listed from your own access notes, with the owner named against each item.
Draft the first week plan
Sessions, introductions and reading are laid out day by day in the format the People team already uses.
Group the reading by week
Handbook pages, team documents and product material are grouped so the starter is not handed everything at once.
Flag what is not arranged
Anything with no owner or no date, such as an unordered laptop or an unbooked induction, is listed for the manager.
The manager approves the plan
The manager edits and approves. The pack reaches the starter and the IT queue only after that.
Exactly what this agent can see, touch and change
The same five controls sit behind every Askollo agent. These are this one's settings — visible before you build it, not buried in an admin screen afterwards.

How you know it’s rightEvery claim links to the document it came from. A statement the agent cannot cite does not make it into the output — which is what makes the result reviewable in minutes rather than re-read end to end.
Who it’s for
People teams and managers onboarding into several teams at once, where each function has its own tools, induction and reading.
What you’ll need
- A connected wiki or handbook
- An access checklist per role type
- An agreed onboarding format
- A manager to approve each plan
What you get
- A first week plan
- An access and equipment checklist
- A grouped reading list
What it doesn’t do
It drafts the plan and the checklist. It does not raise access requests, order equipment or book sessions, and it cannot confirm that anything on the list was actually done.
We build the first one with you
Not a template you configure alone. We sit with your team, build it on real data, and hand over the controls.
Scope
One session with the people who actually do the work. We agree what the agent reads, what it may write, and who approves.
Co-build
Built on your own data, not a sandbox. You watch it being made, so you know why it behaves the way it does.
Handover
You own the controls. Change the context, tighten the rights, move the approval gate — without coming back to us.
Parts of the work currently spread across the categories below. It does not replace any of those products outright.
Frequently asked
How is this different from an onboarding template?
A template is the same for everyone. This is built from your material for that specific role, names an owner for each item, and marks what has not been arranged. It also follows your wiki as it changes, so last year's tool list does not follow the starter around.
Does the new starter talk to it directly?
They can ask questions about the material it was built from once the manager has approved the plan, and get cited answers from the handbook. Anything personal, such as pay or contract terms, goes to a named People contact instead.
Who keeps it accurate?
The People team owns the source material. Where the agent finds a page that contradicts another, it flags the pair rather than choosing between them, and People decide which is right.
Can it cover contractors and returning staff?
Yes, where you have material for those cases connected. The plan reflects whatever access rules and induction you have written down. Where nothing is written, the agent says so rather than assuming the employee plan applies.
