### Yarvis AI Workplace Assistant
URL: https://www.yarooms.com/product/yarvis-ai-workplace-assistant

Yarvis is a proactive AI workplace assistant that lives where employees already work — Microsoft Teams, email, and SMS. Unlike a simple chatbot, Yarvis monitors calendars, detects conflicts, and suggests fixes before friction starts. There is nothing to download or adopt.

Channels:
- **Microsoft Teams**: Native bot in Teams chat. Book desks, rooms, parking. Find colleagues, coordinate schedules, manage recurring bookings.
- **Email**: CC yarvis@yourcompany.com on any email thread. Yarvis reads context and handles room booking, visitor registration, desk reservations, and confirmations automatically.
- **SMS** (coming soon): Visitor and contractor onboarding for people outside your Teams environment. Pre-arrival sign-in forms, NDA signing, directions, and parking.

Core capabilities:
- **Proactive intelligence**: Scans calendars and suggests fixes before conflicts happen (e.g., protecting lunch blocks, booking missing rooms, suggesting recurring slots).
- **Multi-step orchestration**: Handles complex requests spanning multiple systems in one step (e.g., "Book a room at 2 PM, move my desk to Floor 3, and tell my meeting I am 10 minutes late").
- **Team scheduling**: Checks calendars, room availability, and team schedules across Outlook, Google Calendar, and YAROOMS, then books and sends invites.
- **Check-in automation**: Badge-tap check-in with contextual day briefing (desk assignment, nearby colleagues, first meeting, coffee bar wait time).
- **Facility requests**: Report maintenance issues, order catering, and manage operational requests through natural language.
- **Emergency management** (coming soon): Live headcount tracking, location-aware exit guidance during fire drills and incidents.
- **Event planning** (coming soon): RSVP tracking, occupancy prediction, and operational suggestions for office events.

Enterprise security:
- Single-tenant isolation (dedicated infrastructure per customer)
- Azure AD-aware permissions (reads group memberships and roles in real time)
- Zero-access by default (admins grant capabilities incrementally)
- Prompt injection hardened (no raw user content in model prompts, isolated vector stores)
- Read-only by default (write operations require explicit user confirmation)
- Full audit trail with user context, timestamp, and outcome
- SSO authentication through existing identity provider
- EU or US data residency choice
