Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a generated document or ChatGPT?
A generated document is a one-time draft — the moment you save it, it starts going stale. HandbookHub is the official source of record: you publish the current version, your team searches it or asks in Slack, they sign and acknowledge updates, and every change is tracked with version history and an audit trail. ChatGPT and Claude draft; HandbookHub operates the handbook your team relies on.
Is it a free employee handbook builder?
Yes — Starter and Growth start with a 7-day free trial so you can run your handbook as the official source: publish updates, collect signatures, answer in Slack, and keep it current. Add a card to begin, and cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged. Just need the document? The Handbook one-time purchase ($19) lets you create and own a handbook, and includes 14 days of full Growth access.
How much does HandbookHub cost?
Handbook is a $19 one-time purchase to create and own the document: one handbook with 15+ pages, AI generation, PDF export, and 14 days of full Growth access — then you keep Handbook forever or subscribe. Starter ($19/month, or $12/month billed annually, up to 10 team members and 2 handbooks) and Growth ($49/month, or $31/month billed annually, up to 100 team members and unlimited handbooks) are the plans for operating your handbook: your team searches it, signs and acknowledges updates, gets answers in Slack, and every change is tracked with version history. Both start with a 7-day free trial. Custom enterprise plans are also available. Prices in USD, excl. VAT
Does HandbookHub integrate with Slack?
Yes. With the Slack integration, your team can search your handbook directly from Slack using the /handbook command. Ask a question and get instant answers without leaving Slack.
Can employees sign the handbook digitally?
Yes. Employees can confirm they’ve read a page or handbook with a digital signature. You can see who has acknowledged updates, send reminders, and export a CSV audit trail when you need a record.
What happens when we update a policy?
Edit the page and it’s instantly live — no re-sending files. You can request a fresh acknowledgment, which bumps the signature version and emails your team to re-sign. Everyone sees the current policy, and you keep a CSV audit trail of who confirmed it.
Will employees actually read it?
That’s the whole point. Instead of a 47-page dump, HandbookHub structures content into short, skimmable pages with a table of contents. When someone has a question, they search in plain English or ask in Slack and get the answer in seconds.
Can I import my existing handbook or policies?
Yes. You can upload existing policies, guidelines, or reference materials as PDFs or Word documents. The AI uses them as context to provide smarter suggestions and content generation that aligns with your existing documentation.
What industries does HandbookHub support?
HandbookHub supports 20+ industries including retail, restaurant, medical, construction, dental, veterinary, manufacturing, trucking, and more. Each industry has a pre-built template with relevant policies and compliance requirements.
Is this only for big companies?
No — it’s built for small teams without a dedicated HR department. Start from one of 20+ industry templates, let AI draft the rest, and get started with Handbook. You don’t need an HR team to get a professional handbook live.
How does the AI help create my handbook?
Our AI analyzes your company information and generates customized content based on best practices from successful companies. It helps write policies, procedures, and culture documents tailored to your specific needs.
Can I customize the generated content?
Absolutely! The AI-generated content is just a starting point. You can edit, modify, and customize everything to match your company's unique voice and requirements manually or using our AI editor.
Is the handbook a legal contract?
Our templates include standard disclaimers (such as at-will employment and “this handbook is not a contract”), but HandbookHub isn’t a substitute for legal advice. Have your counsel review the final handbook before publishing.
Is my handbook data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. HandbookHub uses role-based access controls so only authorized team members can view or edit your handbook. We do not train AI models on your content.
Can I share my handbook with employees online?
Yes. You can publish a shareable link so employees can read the handbook from any device — no login required. You control which sections are public and can revoke access at any time.
