Agentic HR for growing teams in Türkiye and the US. AI agents do the hiring, onboarding, time-off, and payroll work, and a person approves every action. Runs from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor over MCP.
About Otto HR
Otto HR is HR software where AI agents do the work instead of handing you a dashboard. It covers the employee record (profiles, org charts, and the directory), applicant tracking, onboarding and pre-boarding, time off, and payroll that prepares itself from timesheets and leave tracking. Employees ask Otto in a portal for PTO balances, payslips, and policies. Health benefits are the newest piece and are still being built.
Disclosure: we build Otto HR, so read this as the maker's description, not a neutral review. It sits in the Tool Stack because it is agent software end to end. The agents prepare each action and a person approves it. That is deliberate: HR work touches pay, leave, and personal data, and none of it should go out unchecked. The product is also reachable over MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can run it with the same permissions and data as the web app.
Rippling and Gusto are the established, broader platforms. Deel is the pick for hiring across many countries through an employer of record, and BambooHR is the classic HR record system. In Türkiye, Kolay İK is the long-standing local suite for leave, payroll, and shifts. Otto HR is the right call for a team in Türkiye or the US without an HR department that wants the work prepared, not just tracked. It is the wrong call if you need payroll in many countries today.
