Remember your first day of work? The excitement. All the new faces. And most importantly: the fear of asking "stupid questions."
"How do I book vacation time?"
"How do I connect to the printer on the 2nd floor?"
"What does the abbreviation 'GFA' mean in this meeting?"
For a new employee, these questions are existential hurdles. For the assigned mentor, they're often – let's be honest – an annoying interruption to their day job.
The result in 2025: Onboarding is often still inefficient, frustrating, and expensive. Studies show it takes up to 8 months before a new employee is fully productive.
At Syntriq, we believe: That can happen in 8 weeks. With TheroAI.
The Psychological Safety of AI
The biggest advantage of an AI onboarding assistant isn't technical but psychological: An AI doesn't judge.
A new employee can ask TheroAI five times in a row how to fill out the travel expense report. The AI will never sigh in annoyance. It will never think: "I just explained this to him yesterday."
It answers the fifth time just as patiently and precisely as the first time. This massively lowers the threshold. Those who dare to ask learn faster.
The "Know-It-All" for Your Pocket
TheroAI connects your entire company knowledge – from dusty intranets to quality management handbooks to technical docs in Confluence.
Instead of telling the new employee: "Read through the wiki" (which nobody does), you give them a chat partner.
Scenario: Day 3 on the new job.
The employee is supposed to write a quote but doesn't know where the current template is.
- Without TheroAI: He searches for 20 minutes in the drive. Finds nothing. Asks the colleague at the next desk. He's in a call. He waits. 45 minutes of productivity loss.
- With TheroAI: He types: "Where is the current quote template for new customers?"
TheroAI answers in 2 seconds: "Here's the link to the template 'Quote_2025_v2.docx'. Remember, according to the new policy, you need to check with your team lead for volumes over 10,000 €."
Onboarding Is More Than Just "Where's the Bathroom?"
Our customers use TheroAI to actively manage the onboarding process (Active Onboarding):
- 1.Process Navigation: The AI guides step-by-step through complex software tools (e.g., SAP or Salesforce) without a senior having to sit next to them.
- 1.Culture Mediation: "What are our values?" or "Who's the contact for sustainability?" – The AI helps understand company DNA.
- 1.Senior Relief: Your most expensive experts aren't bombarded with basic questions anymore; they're available for real, professional mentoring.
Conclusion: Arrive Faster, Stay Longer
Good onboarding is the most important factor for employee retention. If you give new talent the feeling from day one that they're competent and capable (instead of helplessly searching), satisfaction skyrockets.
Turn on the autopilot. Let the AI handle orientation so your people can focus on relationships.
