EP.76: Why We Built Orbi: What HR Actually Needs From AI

Unmuted Podcast | Episode #76 (Special Episode)

Topic: Why We Built Orbi: What HR Actually Needs From AI
Guest: Limor Markman – AI Strategist & Co-Creator of Orbi
Host: Jeff Waldman – HR Tech Evangelist & Co-Creator of Orbi

Episode Overview

This is a Special Episode of the Unmuted Podcast, where we explore important launches, innovations, and major shifts shaping HR, leadership, and technology.


This episode is about something we've been quietly building: Orbi.

AI is advancing rapidly, but many HR leaders still find themselves caught between curiosity and confidence. They know AI matters, they're experimenting with it, but they're also asking:

👉 Am I using AI effectively?
👉 Can I trust the output?
👉 Do I have time to learn another tool?
👉 How do I apply AI to real HR situations where nuance matters?


Over the past year, Jeff Waldman and Limor Markman listened closely to the HR community. Those conversations revealed a clear need for an AI assistant built specifically for HR, and ultimately inspired the creation of Orbi.


In this episode, Jeff and Limor discuss the biggest gaps in today's AI experience for HR professionals and why purpose-built AI matters.

We explore:

👉 Why curiosity about AI is growing faster than confidence
👉 The prompting challenges that hold HR teams back
👉 Why HR professionals need simplicity, speed, and collaboration, not more complexity
👉 How AI can reduce isolation by becoming a trusted thought partner
👉 Why AI should enhance human judgment, not replace it
👉 The story behind the creation of Orbi

If you work in HR and want practical, trustworthy AI support, this episode is for you.
