Darwinbox?
BUILD FIRST
- A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
- A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
- A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work
LEAVE FOR LATER
- Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
- Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
- Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready
RESEARCH NOTES
What this tool actually does.
Darwinbox is an enterprise cloud HRMS/HRIS platform covering the full employee lifecycle from hire to retire. Core modules include recruitment and onboarding (AI CV parsing, applicant tracking, digital offer letters), core HR (org structures, custom workflows, permissions, separations), talent management (goal cascading, continuous feedback, succession planning), rewards and recognition (peer recognition, gamified leaderboards, budgets), time and attendance (geo-tagging, geo-fencing, facial recognition, shift policies, voicebot actions), payroll and expenses (tax computation, loans, OCR bill scanning), employee engagement (pulse surveys, enterprise social network called Vibe), and people analytics (configurable reports, dashboards, AI trend prediction). It is configurable for complex organizational structures and workflows, has open APIs for integration, and is available on web and mobil
RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT
Give this to your coding agent.
Build a working web prototype of 'Darwinbox Lite,' a fictional end-to-end HRMS for a mid-sized company, without copying Darwinbox's brand, logo, color scheme, or UI. The workflow: an HR admin configures departments and roles, then an employee can apply leave (policy-driven), submit an expense with OCR-ish receipt upload, receive peer recognition points, view an org chart, and see a simple analytics dashboard. Use React with TypeScript, a Node/Express API, and SQLite or JSON-file persistence. Implement role-based access (admin vs employee), leave balance calculation, approval workflows with mock email notifications, and a points-based recognition system. Keep it intentionally small: no real payroll, no facial recognition, no geo-fencing, no applicant tracking, no mobile app. Provide a README covering setup, seed data, and clear limitations. Treat all web research as reference only; do not reproduce any copyrighted content or claim any official affiliation.
Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, or UI; create an original visual system.
Out of scope for v1: enterprise-scale infrastructure, broad integrations, and feature parity with the reference product.
