A new artificial intelligence feature designed to automate routine HR tasks has entered beta testing, as workplace burnout reaches record levels. Teamflect, a performance management platform that works within Microsoft Teams, launched its AI HR Partners feature to help human resources professionals spend less time on administrative work and more time supporting employees directly.
The timing reflects growing concerns about workplace stress. A Forbes study found job burnout hit an all-time high of 66 percent in 2025, highlighting the need for tools that can reduce pressure on both HR teams and employees.
How the AI system works
The AI partners handle several routine HR functions without requiring users to leave Microsoft Teams. The system creates personalized development plans for individual employees based on their roles and career goals, and suggests objectives that align with company priorities using historical performance data.
The technology also produces summaries of performance reviews and one-on-one meetings, giving managers quick insights into employee progress. It sends reminders for team recognition activities and regular check-ins to help maintain engagement.
“Our goal is not to replace HR teams but to augment their capabilities,” said Bora Ünlü, co-founder of Teamflect. “With these AI HR Partners, we’re providing HR professionals with a reliable assistant that handles all their repetitive tasks, so they can dedicate more time to what truly matters, their people.”
Early testing shows promise
Companies from technology, finance and healthcare sectors are currently testing the beta version. The pilot organizations range from 100 to 10,000 employees, and early feedback suggests improvements in both operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.
The closed beta reflects a broader trend toward AI integration in HR operations, as organizations look for ways to manage growing administrative demands while maintaining focus on employee development and retention.
Teamflect operates as a comprehensive performance management solution built specifically for Microsoft Teams and Outlook environments. The platform handles goal setting, performance reviews, employee recognition and career development without requiring users to switch between different software systems.
