✅ What the AI can do
- Answer questions grounded in live payroll and people data.
- Log time and update employee or contractor records.
- Onboard a new employee or contractor.
- Prepare and run payroll; nothing moves without your confirmation.
- Connect Claude to your Gusto account to query and analyze your payroll and people data. Ask questions in natural language, build custom reports, and create charts to uncover trends and insights—no exports or tool-switching required. Eligible customers can also run payroll in Claude.
- Bring payroll and team data from Gusto into ChatGPT to securely answer payroll, benefits, and HR questions using connected workforce records.
- Answer payroll and benefits questions: "Explain why this employees take home pay changed from last payroll using deductions, taxes, and benefits."
- Review payroll runs and changes: "Show headcount changes over the last 6 months and estimate the monthly payroll cost impact."
- Explore payroll and team data: "Compare overtime costs by department for the last quarter and highlight where it spiked and why."
⛔ What it can't do / limits
- Gusto advises not sharing protected health information with third-party platforms.
- Gusto advises using its MCP server in isolation, without other MCP servers in the same session.
Plans & requirements
- Only payroll admins can connect and use these integrations.
