Try the AI HR onboarding assistant demo
The BoldSign demo is a working onboarding assistant for CubeFlakes, a fictional employer. It is connected to a real BoldSign account. Name a made-up new hire, use your own email address, and pick a document. It arrives in your inbox to sign.
Try saying
- “Send Sarah Chen the Confidentiality Agreement. She starts 11/03/2026.”
- “Send her the Employee Handbook Acknowledgment too.”
- “Who still has to sign?”
Demo only: documents from this demo are not legally binding, and no real hire is recorded.

A record for every new hire
Each signed document shows when the new hire viewed and signed it, with timestamps.
