## Scope

United States, one employer. The HR office's announcement says it is officially rolling out EVA, an AI-powered employee virtual assistant, with a payroll counterpart, Pittsy Payroll, available on any HR or payroll web page; and that if EVA cannot find the information it offers an online inquiry for additional support. The employer's own announcement; no figures on how many questions it resolves.

## What it does not show yet

One employer's announcement; no resolution rate or staffing change.
