Open Arsenal

Built for Organizations That Own Their Stack.

NodeHR is an open-source Human Resources infrastructure platform designed to replace fragmented HR tools and repetitive administrative work with a unified, self-hosted system. Instead of relying on multiple SaaS platforms for employee questions, approvals, and policy access, NodeHR brings everything into a single AI-powered layer that organizations fully control. It acts as an internal HR concierge that understands natural language requests and turns them into structured, auditable workflows.

At its core, NodeHR combines an AI assistant with a policy-aware knowledge engine. Employees can ask questions like “How much PTO do I have left?” or “What’s our parental leave policy?” and receive accurate, citation-backed responses based on the organization’s actual documents. The system uses retrieval-augmented generation and a structured policy graph to ensure responses are grounded in approved internal data rather than generic model outputs.

Beyond answering questions, NodeHR executes real workflows. It can process PTO requests, route approvals through managers, trigger onboarding steps, and guide employees through complex HR processes like benefits enrollment or life-event changes. Each workflow is configurable, versioned, and fully auditable, allowing organizations to adapt the system to their own internal policies and approval chains.

NodeHR is also built with a strong emphasis on security and ownership. It supports full self-hosting, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, and fine-grained permissions for sensitive employee data. All AI interactions are policy-filtered with PII redaction, and every action is logged for compliance and auditing purposes. This makes it suitable for organizations with strict regulatory or privacy requirements.

Finally, NodeHR is highly modular and extensible. Its plugin-based architecture allows organizations to add custom workflows, integrate HRIS systems, or implement region-specific compliance rules without modifying the core system. Whether deployed in a small team or a large enterprise environment, NodeHR is designed to scale as a secure, flexible foundation for modern People Operations.
