An assistant that lines up the work and asks before it acts.
The Assistant page puts what is waiting for you in one list, most urgent first, and offers to do the routine items. Every action first shows exactly what will change. Admins can also ask questions in plain words once the company adds its own Anthropic API key, and developers can connect their own AI agent.
1 month free with every feature and your whole team, no card needed. Then $6 per user a month in US dollars, less for bigger teams.
What the AI assistant does
What needs you
Worked out from what you are allowed to see and decide: people not clocked in, timesheets to approve, time off waiting, open shifts, next week's schedule still in draft, people near contract hours, a pay period not yet run, invites not accepted.
One-click actions, with a confirmation
Four routine jobs have a button: approve the timesheets that have nothing to check, assign open shifts, publish next week's schedule and resend invites. Each opens a step listing what will change. Nothing happens until you confirm.
Assign open shifts
For each open shift it picks someone at that location with no time off, no clashing shift, enough rest and contract hours left, and the fewest hours that week. Shifts nobody is free for stay open, with the reason.
Ask the assistant
A chat for admins. It can look up who is working, pending approvals, shifts and time off, and answers only from what it finds. It sees no more than the person asking is allowed to see.
Proposals you confirm
When you ask Bee to do something, it shows a card for one of the same four actions. You see what will change and press Confirm, or do nothing.
Your own AI key
The chat uses your company's own Anthropic API key, which an admin adds and can remove at any time. The key is kept on the server and is never shown again or sent to a browser.
Connect your own agent
An MCP endpoint gives an agent the same 21 tools as the API: 11 that read and 10 that make changes, limited by the scopes on its key and by what the person who made the key may do.
How it works
Step 1: Open Assistant
The list is there for everyone from day one, with no set-up and no AI key. Staff see their own items, managers see their team's.
Step 2: Check, then confirm
Press an action such as Approve all or Assign automatically, read what will change, and confirm. The result is listed line by line.
Step 3: Add a key to ask questions
An admin pastes the company's Anthropic API key under AI settings and picks a model. The chat then appears for admins.
Questions people ask
Can the assistant change something without me?
No. The built-in assistant never changes anything until you press Confirm on a step that lists exactly what will change. The chat cannot change data at all; it can only show a card for you to confirm. An AI agent you connect yourself is different: it acts within the scopes of its key, so give it a read-only key if it should not change anything.
Do we need to pay for AI?
The list of what needs you and its one-click actions are part of ClockinBee and need no AI key. The chat needs your company's own Anthropic API key, and Anthropic charges your account for what the chat uses. ClockinBee adds no charge for it.
Who can use the assistant's chat?
People with the Company settings permission, which normally means admins, and only while AI is switched on for the company. Everyone else still gets the list of what needs them.
What is sent to Anthropic?
Only when someone uses the chat: the question, the conversation so far and the records the assistant looks up to answer it, such as today's board or a week of shifts. Nothing is sent if you do not add a key.
What can it not do?
It does not give legal, tax or payroll advice, it does not run payroll, and it cannot edit pay, policies or settings. Its actions are limited to approving ready timesheets, assigning open shifts, publishing next week's schedule and resending invites.
Is what an agent does recorded?
Yes. An API key acts as the person who created it, and every change it makes is written to the audit log.
