What is Mino AI and how to use it?

Modified on Thu, 23 Jul at 2:22 PM

Overview

Mino AI (Mino) is a smart assistant built right into Omni HR. Instead of digging through reports, you can simply type a question in plain, everyday language, and Mino will generate a chart, share key insights, and even suggest follow-up questions — all without leaving the platform.

You're always in control: you can switch how the results are displayed, peek behind the scenes to see exactly how an answer was put together, and even ask Mino to explain its work in simple terms.

Important Notice:

This is an early version of Mino AI, so things may still be evolving.

Want access? Just email us at support@omnihr.co or reach out to your account manager — access isn't automatic and depends on your subscription's eligibility.

What can Mino AI do right now?

What data it can look at — for now, Mino can only answer questions about basic employee information and job details as shown below:

Category	Fields
Identity	Name, Preferred Name, Legal name, Employee ID, System ID, Email
Demographics	Age, Gender, Date of Birth, Nationality, Marital Status
Job	Department, Position, Team, Employment Type, Company, Location
Status	Employment Status (Active / Terminated / Future Hire), Start Date, Termination Date
Probation	Probation Status, Probation End Date, Notice Period, Confirmation Date

Who can see what — Mino follows the same access rules already set up in your system. So if someone isn't normally allowed to see certain employee details, Mino won't show that information either.

Important Notes

Topic	What you need to know
Data refresh	Data updates about once a day [8 AM (GMT +8)], not instantly. So if you change someone's access or there has been new updates to employee data, it may take up to a day to fully take effect.
AI accuracy	Like any AI tool, Mino can occasionally get things wrong or give slightly inconsistent answers — always double-check important results.
Saving dashboards	Dashboards created through chat can't be saved or pinned just yet. You would need to refer to historical chats and copy and paste the same prompt if you wish to generate a similar request.
Data coverage	Some information isn't available yet, including manager history, personal identity details (like visa info), contact details, expense data, and compensation. These are planned for a future update.
