Globalization Partners LLC, doing business as GP, today announced a broad language model-based artificial intelligence platform built on more than a decade of the company’s experience in human resources management worldwide.

GP is an employer of record, an entity that hires people in remote locations on behalf of its clients and handles all aspects of payment, benefits, taxes, legal and human resources. The company covers more than 150 countries. Its new AI agent, called Gia, integrates LLMs with knowledge graphs and retrieval-augmented generation training to target and improve response relevance.

The service will be offered on a standalone subscription basis in the first quarter of 2025. It provides real-time policy updates, predictive compliance risk assessments and personalized recruiting strategies in more than 50 countries. GP said the agent can reduce the cost of routine employment-related interactions by 95% and resolution times by 99%. The product draws on more than a decade of knowledge from the company’s HR and legal experts.

“Think of it as a virtual lawyer sitting on one shoulder and an HR business partner on the other shoulder,” said Nat Natarajan, GP’s chief product officer. “You have access to their expertise at your fingertips. »

Managing employees overseas can be a costly logistical burden, as local regulations vary widely. GP uses OpenAI LLC’s LLM combined with RAG and a Pinecone vector database to index its knowledge base. The training model includes content from approximately 50 legal publications supplemented with input from human lawyers. It will be offered in several languages ​​thanks to automatic translation.

Natarajan said the offering is particularly aimed at small and medium-sized businesses that cannot afford the cost of overseas recruitment and the administrative costs of complying with frequently changing local regulations.

“It costs $5,000 to create an employee handbook in another country. Gia can do it in two minutes,” he said. Similar savings can be made with employment letters and contracts, the costs of which can reach $10,000 in some complex jurisdictions.

Gia will verify legal documents and automatically flag compliance gaps. “We do this in multiple documents ranging from offer letters to termination letters to employee handbooks,” Natarajan said. “It covers the complete lifecycle of employee management on a global scale.”

This system also explains that the letter of the law is not always consistent with regional practices. For example, in some countries it is customary to supplement severance pay with additional salary, even if the law does not require it. “We don’t always give advice on the letter of the law, but on the experience we have on how to work with the law,” he said.

Recommendations are reviewed by human experts “to ensure that the data we provide has also been seen by a human being to make it doubly secure,” he said.

GP is now accepting applications for a free trial starting next quarter. Prices will be announced at that time.
