Stark Chat Employee Handbook Policies turns handbooks, workplace rules, and process documents into a searchable chat knowledge base for employees. Staff receive answers tied to connected documents, with citations that point back to the underlying policy. HR teams can support new starters and existing staff without handling every routine question themselves. Documents can come from Notion, Google Drive, Dropbox, uploaded files, or intranet URLs. Teams can publish a branded knowledge base on a Stark Chat hosted URL for onboarding. Access may be open to people using a matching company email domain or limited to invited addresses. Administrators can set query-depth and hourly-query limits. Plans include unlimited users without per-seat charges. Essentials starts at £75/mo, billed monthly, excluding VAT, with 500 queries and 5,000 page imports monthly at the starting allowance. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Who it is for
It suits HR teams and organisations that want employees and new starters to find handbook and process answers independently. It is also relevant where document citations, domain-based access, or invited-user controls matter.
What is good
- Citations connect answers to source policies
- Imports from major document and intranet sources
- Unlimited users without per-seat pricing
- Branded hosted URL supports onboarding
- Documents isolated and not used for AI training
What to know first
- No free plan
- Essentials allowances pause affected AI functions when exhausted
- SSO support is unavailable

Verdict
Stark Chat packages policy documents into a controlled employee question-and-answer service. Its citations, publishing options, unlimited users, and document controls are useful for HR onboarding, while usage allowances and the paid-only model require planning.
