Onboard new hires with a first-week plan and checklist

The problem

New employees often spend day one waiting around or shadowing whoever is free, training lives in the owner's head, and many new hires quit within the first few months because they never felt set up to succeed.

How AI solves it

Describe the role and how you'd train someone in your own messy words, and AI turns it into a pre-boarding welcome email, a paperwork and account-setup checklist, a day-by-day first-week plan, a 30-60-90 day plan with clear goals, and a short FAQ sheet (pay days, time off, call-out rules). Store it in a shared doc or knowledge base so every new hire gets the same start, and reuse it with small edits for the next hire.
