Your live Gusto record as context for every question and every action.
Your team’s data: employment history, terminations, rehires, comp, departments, and locations.

ChatGPT does the work.

Fix timesheets and pull hours in from a spreadsheet.
Onboard a new hire from their offer letter, in the thread.

Your agent finds the exceptions. You approve the payroll.
ChatGPT assembles the work and flags what needs a decision. Approving payroll stays a human call, every time.
Questions it just answers:
Compliance review, reports, “who’s missing timesheets.”
Small changes it can make:
Timesheet fixes, team member updates, onboard a new hire.
Decisions that stay yours:
Payroll edits, running payroll, contractor payments.
Frequently asked questions
Gusto’s official way to bring your live payroll and people data into ChatGPT, so it can answer questions and take action using your real account instead of a generic guess.
No. If you can ask ChatGPT a question, you can use it. (If you’re comfortable with a terminal or building agents for repeated workflows, the Gusto CLI is a separate option — see gusto.com/product/agents.)
Payroll submissions and other high-impact actions are designed to require a preview and your confirmation before they take effect. ChatGPT’s job is to assemble the work and surface exceptions — approving payroll stays your decision.
Gus and Cofounder are Gusto’s own AI, inside Gusto. The ChatGPT app works the other way: it brings Gusto into the AI you already use, so you don’t have to come to us to get something done.
Yes, especially if you’re already asking ChatGPT questions about your business.
