HRGPT — a chatbot that answers questions related to human resource policies

May 4, 2023

Written by Viren Dias – Lead Data Scientist at Calcey

In recent months, ChatGPT and its uncanny ability to understand human language and mimic human responses had created quite the buzz around the Calcey office: it got us thinking about how we could incorporate it and its underlying technology into our products. We thought the best way to figure that out would be to trial it in an internal project, and for that we needed an appropriate use-case.

Our colleagues over at Human Resources (HR) had been spending their valuable time meticulously documenting HR policies in an internal wiki, only for us slackers to be too lazy to read it, and waste even more of their time by querying them directly! This sparked an idea — why not create a chatbot that could leverage the information contained within the HR wiki to answer questions related to HR policies?

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) trained to understand and respond to natural language conversations. As its name would suggest, it has been built on top of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), more specifically its latest iteration, GPT-4.

GPT is a family of LLMs, trained on curated portions of the internet and human feedback, in order to predict the next token in a given document. In simpler terms, given a prompt, the model will attempt to predict what the response should be, using the internet as its source of knowledge. In the case of ChatGPT, the prompt is simply an incomplete chat log, and the model will attempt to predict what the next message should be.

How we adapted ChatGPT to our task

Figure 1: A flowchart of the processes involved in producing a response to a user-supplied query regarding HR policies.

At a high level, the processes involved in adapting ChatGPT to respond to questions related to HR policies can be aggregated into three distinct stages:

A preprocessing stage, where we convert the HR policy documents into machine-readable format and break them down into congruent sections.
A sorting stage, where we sort the aforementioned sections by their relevance to the query.
A response stage, where we supply the ChatGPT API with the necessary information to evoke an appropriate response.

We briefly discuss each of these stages, and their associated engineering challenges below.

Preprocessing the HR policies

The HR policy documents are available in the form of wiki pages, which ChatGPT does not respond well to. Consequently, we needed to convert them into a ChatGPT-friendly format, which we identified iteratively through experimentation. This involved tasks such as:

Stripping HTML tags,
Running optical character recognition (OCR) software on images and infographics,
Converting HTML tables into Markdown tables,
Printing hyperlink URLs explicitly alongside their text,
Etc.

Figure 2: A visual depiction of the sectioning methodology. Each rectangle represents a separate section.

Additionally, some documents can get quite large and touch on several different HR policies: we needed to break these down into more manageable, congruent sections. We found that the best way to do this was to make use of heading levels, and break down each document into nested sections, with each section containing all the sections hierarchically below it.

Sorting HR policies by relevance

In the interest of computational efficiency and accuracy of responses, we needed to sort the HR policy sections by their relevance to the query. To do this, we made use of text embeddings: a numerical representation of a text. A simple example of this would be tallying the occurrences of each word in a text. The embeddings of two texts can be input into a similarity function to easily determine how similar they are mathematically.

Once we calculated the embeddings of the query and all the HR policy sections, we computed the pairwise similarity. We then sorted the sections by the computed similarity to yield a list of HR policy sections ordered by their relevance to the query.

Evoking an appropriate response

To elicit a desired response from ChatGPT, we need to supply it with three pieces of information:

The relevant HR policy sections to inform ChatGPT of the HR policies,
The user-supplied query, and accompanying chat history to provide context for the query, and
A well-engineered prompt to instruct ChatGPT on how to respond using the above data.

The only thing missing is a good prompt. Engineering a good prompt is an iterative process that requires a lot of experimentation. It is not always as simple as providing instructions — ChatGPT has historically had an issue with hallucination, whereby the model incorrectly yet confidently responds to a question it does not know the answer to. However, with the right prompt, this issue can be solved.

The prompt we settled on was as follows:

“You are a helpful assistant working at Calcey. Answer the questions truthfully and explicitly, providing additional details when available. Use only the information contained within the wiki, and if the answer is not contained in the wiki, ask the user to contact HR.”

Q: What is the reward for introducing a senior software engineer?

A: The reward for introducing a Senior Software Engineer is an iPhone 13 128GB. Please note that certain conditions apply, such as the candidate must not have applied to Calcey before the referral email, and the referee will not join the interview process. The reward will be ready within one month from the date your friend starts working with Calcey. To refer someone, send their resumes to internal-referrals@calcey.com.

(a) An example of a response containing additional relevant details to the query.

Q: How long can I stay in the dorm for?

A: The Calcey Dormitory Facility Policy does not explicitly mention a maximum duration for an employee's stay. If you have specific questions about the duration of your stay, it's best to contact HR for further clarification.

(b) An example of how it responds to a query it should not know the answer to.

Figure 3: Examples of how the prompt influences ChatGPT’s response.

Breaking down the prompt and explaining what each sentence does:

“You are a helpful assistant working at Calcey”. This ensures that the model responds politely, and from the perspective of a colleague.
“Answer the questions truthfully and explicitly, providing additional details when available”. Instructing the model to provide additional details results in the response including links to forms it refers to, contact details for people it refers to, etc. However, this increases the risk of the aforementioned hallucination issue.
“Use only the information contained within the wiki, and if the answer is not contained in the wiki, ask the user to contact HR”. This greatly curbs the hallucination issue, and provides explicit instructions on how to respond to questions the model does not know the answer to.

Closing Thoughts

ChatGPT is a very powerful tool that can be molded to suit a variety of use-cases. However, since its inner workings are not precisely understood and its responses are stochastic in nature, it can be tricky to instruct it to do exactly what you want it to. As a result, it can require quite a bit of experimentation to get the desired outcome.

Reminiscing our journey with Upflex

May 30, 2022

A few days ago, our client Upflex announced raising a round of Series A funding from a collective of strategic investors which includes WeWork, Newmark, Cushman & Wakefield, and the Silicon Valley Bank 🎉

Of course, we are really happy too. As Upflex’s engineering partner throughout, we’ve directly been involved in helping Upflex get to where it is today. We’ve navigated the ups-and-downs of building a startup together, including that fire walk every founding team has to endure—finding product-market fit.

In the five years since inception, Upflex has signed up names such as American Express, Richemont, Trinet, FlexJobs, Stella Connect, and Schneider Electric as customers, and Colliers International as a partner. More recently, the company partnered with Anarock to expand operations in India, and its digital platform covers more than 5,500 office spaces in 75 countries. All in all, the future is looking bright for Upflex, but the seeds of this growth were planted a long time ago.

In 2017, We Got A Call…📲

…from Upflex’s co-founders, Christophe Garnier and Ginger Dhaliwal. That’s when it all began. At the time, Christophe and Ginger had a rough-around-the-edges idea to build a digital platform that allows companies to book flexible workspaces. In their possession was a partially completed MVP and a small budget which they had managed to put together by themselves.

Being non-technical founders, they were looking for someone to help complete the MVP and handle all end-to-end engineering duties if the MVP succeeded in gaining traction. We said yes, but on the condition that completing the MVP and taking it to market was going to be treated as a pilot project. We believe this is a better approach to developing software, as it allows both parties to understand whether they’re a good fit for each other. It’s also a very fair way of doing things, in our opinion.

The MVP garnered positive interest and we also liked working with Upflex, so we agreed to become Upflex’s engineering partner. In order to accommodate their limited budgets, we agreed to provide our services at a discounted rate. Not only did this unique agreement allow Upflex to continue working with us, but it also allowed us to perfectly align our incentives with those of the Upflex team.

That’s not all though. we even decided to become seed investors in the startup. To us, Christophe ticked all the boxes as a founder. He was passionate, resilient, and had a lot of experience in the industry. Being a founder-led company ourselves, we knew what it takes to build a thriving business, and in our eyes, Christophe had it all. Therefore, the decision to become a seed investor in Upflex was an easy one to make.

Pivot, Pivot, Pivot

Between what it is today, and how it was first conceptualised, Upflex has gone through many pivots in response to market conditions—as startups do. In 2018, Upflex operated as a marketplace that allowed anyone to book a shared office space with ease. The company targeted business travelers who wanted a nice office space to work out of, and long commuters and remote employees who didn’t want to work from home but also didn’t want to spend hours on the road everyday.

*Upflex’s value proposition in 2018, as described on its website. Source: The Wayback Machine*

12 months later, Upflex realised that lots of companies were very interested in setting up distributed offices around the world without signing up for expensive leases. As this was a lucrative market that could provide a more stable revenue stream, Upflex decided to double down on it. We worked with Ginger, who by then was running Upflex’s product team, to roll out a slew of new features to support the company’s new direction. Among them was a portal that business customers could use to add team members on to their subscriptions and allocate usage limits on an individual basis. Once added, team members could book workspaces under the company’s name. At the end of the billing period, the company would be sent a single invoice to pay, sparing accountants from periodic headaches.

Launching SafeSpaces™

Then came COVID-19, and it necessitated another pivot. While the world collectively embarked on the single largest remote working experiment it had ever seen, many predicted the death of the office as we know it.

But Upflex correctly sensed that post-pandemic, there will be a significant subset of workers who wouldn’t want to work from home, but also would not want to put themselves through the misery of a long commute as before. Companies wanted to become as asset-light as possible (Why pay for office space that you don’t need?), but at the same time had to provide employees with a safe and hygienic office to work in. The latter contradicts the former, as you can’t vouch for safety and hygiene when you don’t actually have control over the upkeep of the building that houses the office.

There was also another side of remote work that was becoming more apparent with every passing day. New employees to 100% remote workforces were finding it hard to build social bonds with coworkers, and as a result, collaborative cultures carefully nurtured over time were at risk of falling apart.

SafeSpaces™ is Upflex’s answer to this trilemma. Under the SafeSpaces™ program, companies can provide employees with flexible workspaces that meet CDC and WHO standards, thus providing them and their families much-needed peace of mind. Employees can choose from any of Upflex’s 5,500+ workspaces around the world and make bookings by themselves.

Late nights, deadlines, and disciplined iteration

Driving rapid iteration and hitting every deadline is no walk in the park. Things become even more complicated when you consider that our team in Sri Lanka has to work around a 9.5 hour time difference with NYC, where Upflex’s team is based. But we never shied away from the challenge, and simply found ways to adapt.

On some days, that meant scheduling calls at odd hours for both sides. It’s not easy (They have their own lives too!), but we trusted our teams to find a balance that worked for them. It also meant investing a lot of time and effort into building trust with Ginger and the product team at Upflex, as that is the bedrock of a strong working relationship.

Anticipating customer needs

In keeping with Upflex’s pivot to adapt to a post-COVID world, our product engineering team worked tirelessly to introduce a ton of new products and features. For instance, we built a set of white labeled apps that can be used by third party real estate brokers to sell workspaces to their own clients. We rolled out intelligent local currency billing to eliminate currency conversion hassles, and introduced QR check-in. Each and every product and feature was carefully built to complement the existing mobile app, which again, was built by us. We understood that in a future where work will be distributed, customers would rate singular, convenient, and zero-contact experiences very highly. It was also a good way to differentiate Upflex’s value proposition from its competitors.

Upflex’s story shows what happens when you deploy software smartly to solve real world problems. Of course, it also helps to have a proactive engineering partner like us 😉

What to expect when you work with us

December 15, 2020 by Mudith

We love building great software. That means doing a few things differently

At Calcey, we develop software. We are a boutique development outfit with an office in Colombo, Sri Lanka. But we are also not your typical software development company. We prefer to think of ourselves as providers of small, extended remote teams for global clients in need of software development services.

Developing software is not like selling a commodity. People matter. Quality matters. When the two meet, magic happens. To build good software, the interests of a developer must align with those of a client. Anything less is a huge no-no.

If you’re a developer just starting out in your career…

One of the best and fastest ways to sharpen your skills and grow is to work in a small team, and on a challenging project for some time. This helps you develop a deep mastery in a given area, while preventing your effort from being buried under that of a hundred others. Deep mastery equals better learning, and higher visibility equals faster promotions, all else remaining equal. Of course, when the time is right, you should choose to move between teams to learn new tech stacks and skills. This is one advantage service companies like ours have over product companies. At Calcey, we have the ability to give our developers the chance to attain deep mastery and upgrade their skills with time by moving between teams if necessary. But at a product company, developers are often doomed to work on one part of a software forever.

On the other hand, if you’re a client…

You must look to work with a small, stable team that you can get to know with time, so that everyone can quickly develop a sense of camaraderie and start working towards a common goal. An organic relationship built this way allows for developers to become emotionally invested in your product, and allows them to take ownership and drive the process forward, instead of you having to push from behind with all your might. A small, stable team is inherently better at getting people to work together than a large, sprawling one. That’s why a certain Jeff Bezos prefers two-pizza teams.

A remote extended team will also allow you to reap the benefit of working with a group of developers who almost feel like your own, without taking the financial risk of actually hiring them and sinking a significant amount of capital into it.

Our approach…

Simply brings these two elements together to create a system that keeps everyone happy. Developers get to work on interesting things, while clients receive top-notch projects, finished and delivered on time. It also aligns our incentives with those of our clients. As we ship more and more successful projects, our clients can grow their businesses. That growth in turn comes back to us in the form of more projects, and we get to hire more people to work on them. Basically, it’s a virtuous cycle that everyone benefits from. This model has worked so well for us that we’ve managed to grow completely organically from a 2 person startup to a 140-strong team.

Henrik Palmquist is the CTO of Nelly.com, one of the largest online fashion retailers in the Nordic region. Nelly.com has been a client of ours for the last 3 years, and has benefited immensely from this extended remote teams model we’ve staked our reputation on. Here’s how Henrik felt about his experience working with us.

There are also a few other things that you ought to know about us, which we consider key pillars of the Calcey Way.

Transparency

We like to give our clients a high level of visibility into their projects. The more our engineering teams and our clients know about each other, the better, as it eliminates room for misunderstandings, and stops people from feeling like they don’t belong. Before COVID-19 took airplanes out of the sky, we encouraged our clients to come visit us in Colombo and get to know the team that would be working for them. They could have a team workshop and do a deep dive into the client’s domain or business challenge, or simply go out for dinner or on a trip around Sri Lanka. We encourage such visits and face-time because we know that is how the seeds of a great relationship are sown.

That’s not all though. Once the project is in progress, clients are free to join daily stand-up meetings and even talk directly to our project managers and developers. Here at Calcey, there are no middle men or lengthy email chains that make you want to rage-quit. Instead, we have actual, normal, and reasonable human beings who’d be always happy to get on a call with you and walk you through how your project is going, what we’d be doing next, what works, and (most importantly) what doesn’t.

Mikke, the CEO of Ancon—a Swedish firm that develops software for the restaurant industry, is someone who has visited our offices many times in the past to hang out with our developers. He was pleasantly surprised by how well our team got along with his, and had some nice things to say about us.

Straight talk all the way

At Calcey, each and every individual is encouraged to tell it like it is, politely and with respect for each other. No beating around the bush, and no false platitudes. Humans sometimes have the tendency to downplay things (or let them slide completely) in the hope of not upsetting the proverbial apple cart, but that doesn’t really help anyone. This is particularly true in our case, where we end up working with clients from different cultures with wildly differing levels of technical understanding. Being straight with the facts has helped us bridge these differences and made it so much easier to form trusting, mutually beneficial relationships.

As developers, sometimes we find ourselves in a position where we can clearly see that the approach a client is planning to take won’t help them achieve their goals. When we run into such situations, we encourage our developers to actually speak up, challenge the client’s assumptions where relevant, and put forward better approaches or suggestions. This can often happen when clients don’t come from a technical background, as Joanna and Lucy, co-founders of The Oneness Movement found out. Luckily, our team was on hand to help them navigate the confusing maze that technology can sometimes be.

Take ownership

Whether its a simple dashboard or a fully fledged enterprise app, we approach every project as if it was our own. When an outsourced development services provider doesn’t take ownership in their work, it naturally breeds a short-termist attitude where the focus is on delivering the project, billing the client, savouring that ‘ka-ching!’ and moving on. Things like strategic fit and future-proofing go out the window.

Instead, we like to think like product owners and take the long term view. This motivates us to flag issues as soon as they arise, and suggest features and fixes which we think would be helpful over the long run. For instance, if a client tells us to build a native android app, we would always try to find out if there would ever be a need for an iOS app as well. If there is, we would always take the time to suggest the option of building a react native app instead, which suits both dominant smartphone platforms thus saving time and money over the long run. If we don’t, the relationship we have with the client will be in tatters once the client realises that they’ve been taken for a ride.

When Compare Networks came to us to help them build an enterprise sales app for the biotech sector, they probably thought we would build it, ship it, and be done with it. Instead, we naturally took ownership of the project, and helped them envision the entire feature roadmap of the product. Our developers took the time to understand the mindset of the end user and empathise with them in order to make the features of the app very easy to use and understand.

Bespoke teams

The composition of engineering teams at Calcey tends to be flexible, and is always geared to meet a client’s evolving needs. Instead of having projects transferred between teams like a weird game of musical chairs, our clients get to work with the exact same core team while a few additional specialists will be brought in as and when required. For instance, a client who comes to us with the intention of developing an MVP might only need a small team to get things started. Later, when it is time to build a functioning app, the team might need a few more engineers and designers whom we can bring into the team. Eventually, if the app has to be scaled to accommodate millions of users, the team will need the services of architects and other experts whom we will draft into the team.

That is how we helped a London-based startup, Fresh Fitness Food (FFF), evolve from a fledgling meal delivery service to a global fit-tech company that is driven by technology. After all, we were once a startup too and know what it is like to try and achieve product-market fit and get a steady stream of cash trickling through the door. Over the years, FFF has been able to rely on us to shape and develop their product, business strategy and more. As FFF’s needs evolved, the composition of the Calcey team supporting them also evolved in tandem, thus ensuring that all the development resources FFF needed were always at its disposal.

Do the right thing, always

To this day, all new clients knock on our doors thanks to direct referrals from existing clients. We consider this to be a signal that we are doing something right. It also serves as an incentive for us to safeguard our reputation in the business, because one disgruntled customer is all that it would take to bring down the house that we so painstakingly built. That is why we always try to do what is right. Sometimes, that means saying ‘No’ to a client if we feel that we are ill-equipped to take on a job. At other times, it means making accommodations to suit talented and deserving employees, who may be going through tough times in their personal lives.

This ethos of doing the right thing has helped us cultivate a pool of happy clients and loyal employees, both extremely crucial for our success. Perhaps that is why our NPS scores have been consistently high, despite COVID-19 upending the way we live, work, and move. Over the last three quarters, our Net Promoter Score (NPS) has been on the rise, and hit an all time high of 78% despite all of us being forced to work from home due to the pandemic. Achieving this kind of NPS rating places us squarely amongst some of the best software development companies in the world, and leaves us feeling very optimistic about the future.
