About
Gusto Cofounder is an AI-powered conversational interface to Gusto. A user can use Gusto Cofounder to manage payroll, benefits, HR, time, compliance, and more -- all through a chat interface.
How It Works with Gusto Cofounder
This app for Slack enables Gusto Cofounder to connect to the user's Slack Workspace via Slack's remote MCP server. Once connected, a user can instruct Gusto Cofounder to send and read messages in the user's Slack Workspace. For example, the user can say to Gusto Cofounder: "Check if there are any un-submitted timesheets for this week's payroll and if there are, send a reminder over Slack to those employees to submit their timesheet."
A user can also communicate to Gusto Cofounder from the bot for Slack. For example, the user can say to the bot: "Who are my employees on Gusto?" and the bot will respond with the correct information.
