About

Unlocking human potential - with AI doing the heavy lifting.

HQ.ai is the product arm of Humanistiqs, an Australian management and HR consultancy. We spent years giving small businesses practical advice on strategy, structure, people and performance. HQ.ai puts that same advice in your pocket - grounded in the law, available any time, with our team behind it.

AI plus HQ

Artificial intelligence for leverage, human intelligence and judgement for the calls that matter. The handoff is the point, not an afterthought.

Cite the source

Every answer points to the Fair Work Act, the NES or your Modern Award. No black box, no hand-waving.

Australian only

We do one thing properly: Australian employment law for businesses under 250 staff. No imported playbooks.

No lock-in

Cancel any time. We earn the next month by being useful, not by trapping you in a multi-year contract.

Why we built this

Built by the people who used to answer these calls.

HQ.ai is made by Humanistiqs, an Australian HR and recruitment consultancy whose directors bring more than 80 years of combined experience across HR, leadership development, recruitment and business performance.

For years we answered the same Fair Work questions for small businesses - and watched them either overpay for a locked-in retainer or guess their way through a 600-page Award. So we built the tool we wished they had: AI grounded in the actual legislation that cites its sources, with a real advisor on hand when the stakes are high. We only do Australian employment law - the Fair Work Act, the NES, and the Modern Awards.

If the AI ever gets something wrong, you reply to a human - not a ticket queue.
