The results you get.

Where the data lands.

The AI processes the raw logs into these specific outcomes.

LOGS

Raw attendance data

The AI pulls check-in and check-out times from DingTalk. You get the exact timestamps for every employee in the date range you requested.

TRENDS

Pattern recognition

The AI identifies if certain employees are consistently late on specific days. It spots shifts in arrival times that you might miss manually.

ALERTS

Late arrival lists

The AI filters the logs to create a list of everyone who missed their start time. This makes it easy to see who needs a follow-up.

The AI provides the data, but you decide how to handle the results. It won't issue warnings or change employee records for you.
