How it works

From “on site” to “paid right” in one loop

It drafts, a human says yes, then it acts, and it writes everything down. That confirm-first rule isn't a courtesy. It's the whole product.

Start on Telegram

See it in action

Telegram is a trademark of its owner. ZimQi isn't affiliated with Telegram.

The ZimQi emu sitting on a toolbox, tapping a chat on his phone that shows a green tick.

The whole flow, step by step

  1. Set up your sites. Add each site or location (an office, a client's home, a building site) with optional shift start and finish times, then assign your people. Moving someone? Change their site in the dashboard or with the bot's /assign command.
  2. Check-in. The worker taps check-in on Telegram and picks their site. That row becomes the record of who worked where.
  3. Check-out + story. They type what they did. One narrow AI step makes it structured, and unsure bits are flagged for you, never guessed. (Photo and voice notes are on the roadmap.)
  4. Approvals. Your chain (supervisor → bookkeeper → owner, or whatever fits) approves, edits or rejects. Each event is signed and timestamped in an append-only ledger.
  5. Nudges. Silent approvers get nudged, then escalated, on schedule.
  6. Payroll file. Cleared records produce a payroll-ready file for your payroll software.
  7. Your crew joins in one tap. Your crew taps the join link you share to open ZimQi on Telegram and they're in — no app, no passwords. (No link handy? They can send the join code in chat.)

Illustrative mock-up, not a screenshot.

Why it can be trusted

Four rules we don't bend

A human confirms every action

Nothing irreversible (a payroll file, an export, a send) goes out without a named person's yes.

The record has your back

Approvals, rejections, edits and corrections are append-only, signed events.

The AI never guesses

Anything ambiguous becomes a flag you can see, never a silent assumption.

Your data, kept separate

Tenant-isolated, collected only as needed, never shared without your instruction.

What you'll need

  • Telegram on each worker's phone (free)
  • Your list of sites or locations, with shift times if you want reminders
  • A supervisor or owner to approve
  • Your payroll software (or a bookie) to import the file

What ZimQi doesn't do

  • GPS tracking or geofencing. Your people pick their site
  • Award interpretation or shift planning (you assign people to sites; shift times drive reminders)
  • Leave management or job costing

Data and privacy

We collect only what the workflows need (APP 1–3), tell you how it's used (APP 5), never share without your instruction, and keep an append-only audit of every action. Where an AI provider processes outside Australia, personal information is minimised first (APP 8).

Where your data lives today: it is tenant-isolated on an encrypted server that is currently overseas (it geolocates to Malaysia), with a migration to an Australian (Sydney) region underway. The privacy policy states the current and destination location plainly.
