AI Employees: Systems That Do the Work
An AI employee isn't a chatbot. It's a system that does actual work: processes documents, researches leads, updates CRMs, writes reports. It runs 24/7, costs less than a hire, and doesn't need managing.
What Is an AI Employee?
An AI employee is a custom-built AI system that handles specific, repeatable work inside your business. Unlike chatbots that answer questions, AI employees execute tasks: researching leads, writing outreach, processing documents, updating CRMs, or generating reports.
They run 24/7, don't need management, and cost a fraction of a human hire:
Works 24/7
No breaks, no sleep
Costs 70% less
Than a human hire

What AI Employees Can Do
AI employees handle structured, repeatable work. If it doesn't require human judgment on every decision, an AI employee can probably do it.

Common Questions
What is an AI employee?
An AI employee is a custom-built AI system that handles specific, repeatable work inside your business. Unlike chatbots that answer questions, AI employees execute tasks: researching leads, writing outreach, processing documents, updating CRMs, or generating reports. They run 24/7, don't need management, and cost a fraction of a human hire for equivalent output on defined tasks.
What's the difference between AI automation and a chatbot?
Chatbots respond to questions. AI automation executes work. A chatbot answers "What are your hours?" An AI automation system researches 500 prospects, enriches their data, writes personalized outreach, sends emails, logs responses, and updates your CRM—without you doing anything. One is reactive. The other is a worker.
What tasks can AI employees handle?
AI employees handle structured, repeatable work: lead research and enrichment, outbound email and LinkedIn sequences, document extraction and summarization, data entry and CRM hygiene, report generation, customer support triage, invoice processing, and meeting prep and follow-up notes. They don't handle: creative strategy, relationship management, ambiguous problem-solving, or anything requiring real-time human judgment.
Can AI replace my sales team?
AI can replace the repetitive parts of sales work—lead research, initial outreach, follow-up sequences, CRM updates, and meeting scheduling. It cannot replace relationship-building, complex negotiation, or high-stakes conversations. Most founders use AI to make a small sales team 3–5x more productive, not to eliminate humans entirely.
How long does it take to build a custom AI system?
Simple AI automations take 1–2 weeks. A full AI employee (research + build + test + deploy) takes 3–6 weeks depending on complexity. The main variable is data access—if your systems are well-organized with APIs available, it's faster. If we're scraping PDFs and cleaning messy spreadsheets, it takes longer.
