{"id":92358,"title":"Sira: AI HR Manager for Hourly Teams","tagline":"Sira automates time tracking, scheduling, payroll \u0026 HR for hourly teams in minutes 🤯 using AI agents","body":"Hey YC 👋,\n\nWe’re Nathan \u0026 Antonio, building an AI HR manager for hourly teams. Running an hourly workforce means drowning in admin: verifying timesheets, tracking attendance, chasing down approvals. **Businesses can spend up to 6 hours a week just verifying timesheets for a team of 15 employees.** Nathan led the QuickBooks Payroll \u0026 Time Tracking app from unranked to #12 on the App Store and saw firsthand how fast this overhead grows. We automate the repetitive HR work — so owners and managers can focus on growing their business, not paperwork.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/n8Oq2jPNwhg\n\n**Problem:**\n\nManaging hourly teams is still painfully manual. Over 70% of businesses rely on paper, spreadsheets, and text chains to handle **critical tasks like scheduling, time tracking, and finding shift coverage.** The tools that do exist are clunky, built for desk workers, and assume a level of tech-savviness many frontline teams don’t have. Meanwhile, managers spend hours each week buried in admin — verifying timesheets, coordinating shifts, and chasing down approvals — instead of focusing on their people.\n\n**Solution:**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=92358\u0026key=user_uploads/2296932/9d85a882-b66f-4b5d-8eb3-c90409bf1838)\n\nWe meet hourly teams where they are — **with** **voice agents and the simplest possible app.** Our platform automates back-office HR by handling tasks like calling workers for shifts, clocking them in automatically, ensuring breaks, flagging missed punches, and completing payroll review. No more chasing, checking, or double entry — just smooth, automated execution of the work that usually slows teams down.\n\n**Do you know any business owners who pay employees hourly?** We are currently offering a 25% discount per user seat.\n\nContact - [nathan@sira.team](mailto:nathan@sira.team)","slug":"O1e-sira-ai-hr-manager-for-hourly-teams","created_at":"2025-07-22T18:06:20.874Z","updated_at":"2026-05-24T23:43:27.109Z","total_vote_count":68,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/O1e-sira-ai-hr-manager-for-hourly-teams","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":30742,"name":"Sira","slug":"sira","url":"https://sira.team","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/76b581290f19eb08a9fc677f74b5ecc46cfd20a1.png","batch":"Summer 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30742"}}
