JustifAI is an intelligent assistant that analyzes absence justifications and alerts you to potential errors. Here is how it intervenes at each step of the process:

Automatic analysis upon submission

As soon as a learner submits a justification:

  • JustifAI analyzes the correspondence of absence dates.

  • It checks the validity of the stated reason.

  • It verifies the presence and consistency of the student's first and last name on the document.

  • It detects authentication elements, such as:

    • an official stamp,

    • a health professional's identification number, for medical certificates.


🧠 Good to know: JustifAI does not replace the role of the manager. It is a tool to assist in validation. You remain the final decision maker on whether to accept or reject the justification.

Automatic alert in case of a problem

If an anomaly is detected, a clear alert appears on the interface, specifying:

  • the identified error (e.g., : inconsistent dates, unreadable file, name missing),

  • the concerned section of the document,

  • recommended actions.

Submission assistance on the learner side

On the learner side: submission assistance

When a learner uploads a justification:

  • JustifAI immediately alerts them if:

    • the file is unreadable or damaged,

    • information is missing (e.g., : name, date, reason).

  • The learner can then correct and submit a new file or confirm the submission despite alerts.

This mechanism reduces frequent errors and limits unnecessary back-and-forths.

Security & GDPR compliance

Documents are analyzed locally and securely. No personal data is used for external purposes.

Processing is fully GDPR compliant (General Data Protection Regulation). Access to justifications remains restricted to authorized users via the platform.

❓FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How to activate JustifAI?

To activate JustifAI, go to the settings of your Edusign space, then to the Edusign IA tab. Then simply click on the "Activate Edusign IA" button, and it’s done!

Who finally validates the justifications?

It’s always you (or a member of your team). JustifAI never automatically approves a document. It suggests checks but makes no decisions.

Can the tool be wrong?

JustifAI relies on objective criteria (presence of key elements), but it does not replace human judgment. A partially filled out or handwritten document may require manual verification.

Can the learner ignore alerts?

Yes. They can submit a justification even if JustifAI detects an error. This flexibility allows handling of special cases.

✅ In summary

JustifAI saves you time while improving the quality of justifications received. It is an intelligent assistant, not an automatic validator. It ensures a smooth experience for managers and learners alike, with complete security.
