WhatExactlyIsanAIEmployee?
An AI Employee or Digital FTE is a fully configured, operationally ready AI system that takes on a defined role inside your business.
This is not a chatbot sitting on your website answering FAQs. This is not a workflow trigger that sends an email when a form is filled in.
A Digital FTE is built to perform a job. It has a scope of work. It makes decisions within that scope. It uses your tools, operates in your systems, communicates in your brand voice, and produces work your team can act on.
Think of it as the equivalent of hiring a highly skilled team member except this one works 24 hours a day, scales without friction, and costs a fraction of a full-time salary.
