Can artificial intelligence help me plan my shifts?
Absolutely! The Shifts AI Add-on transforms shift management into something much more agile and less error-prone. It also handles the most tedious work for you: cross-referencing availability, detecting conflicts, and proposing assignments that respect your team's rules.
What the Shifts AI can do
- Plan effortlessly: it takes on the work of reconciling schedules, availability, and minimum coverage requirements, and proposes a timetable ready for you to review.
- Import existing schedules: if you already have a timetable in Excel, PDF, or image format, the AI reads it and transfers it to Sesame automatically.
- Cover shifts intelligently: when you define a coverage requirement (minimum number of employees per shift), you can ask the AI to complete it by finding who is available.
- Give you back your time: delegate the mechanical side of planning and focus your attention on the decisions that genuinely require your judgment.
