Start an employee directory and onboarding checklist

Who does what, who to ask about billing, and what Maja still needs before her first day. New hires and managers ask their assistant, while salaries and home addresses stay with HR.

An example

@ADoor Maja starts Nov 2 as backend engineer, reporting to Kim. Give her the standard engineering checklist and assign Ali as her buddy.

ADoor Added Maja to People and 8 entries to Onboarding

What you can ask later

  • “What’s left on Maja’s onboarding?”
  • “Who knows about billing?”
  • “Who reports to Kim?”
  • “Who started this quarter?”

Who can see what

  • Everyone reads the directory, without home addresses or salaries.
  • Managers edit their reports’ onboarding.
  • HR reads and edits everything.
  • An internal help bot can read the directory to answer “who do I ask?”, and nothing else.

How it compares with an HR system

Payroll, leave, contracts and compliance belong in an HR system like BambooHR or Personio.

The everyday questions are quicker in ADoor: who does what, who to ask, and what’s left for the new person, answered from chat with access per field.

How to start

  1. Connect ADoor to your assistant. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor all connect through MCP.
  2. Tell it: “Set up a team directory and onboarding: People (name, role, team, manager, skills, start date) and Onboarding (person, task, owner, done).”
  3. Give everyone read access to the directory, and keep salary and address fields to HR.

Questions people ask

Can salaries stay private?

Yes. Keep them in a field only HR reads.

Can a new hire use it?

Yes. They ask their assistant, with the access you give them.

What does ADoor cost?

It’s free for up to 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage and no per-GB charges.

What if someone leaves?

Remove their access and it stops working on their next request. The history still shows what they added and changed.
