AI Virtual Assistant Development

Description

A professional services firm of about 120 people. The partners have executive assistants; everyone else does their own scheduling, expense claims and travel booking, badly and at the wrong time of day. We want an internal assistant in Slack that handles those three things against our real systems: find a meeting slot across calendars and book it, start an expense claim from a photographed receipt, and raise a travel request into the approval chain. Nothing here should be clever. It should be reliable, it should confirm before it acts, and when the underlying system is down it should say which system and stop, rather than queueing something the user thinks has happened.

• Implement scheduling across calendars with real availability and conflict handling
• Build expense claim initiation from a photographed receipt, with extracted fields shown for confirmation
• Raise travel requests into the existing approval chain
• Confirm before every action that writes to a system of record
• Report system outages by name and refuse to queue silently

• Slack assistant covering scheduling, expenses and travel
• Receipt extraction with confirmation step
• Approval chain integration
• Outage handling and status reporting
