Your team: five AI Employees
The five AI Employees, focusing one desk, huddles, hand-offs between them, and the Activity trail of what they did.
Lena Hoffmann runs Hoffmann Tischlerei, and five AI Employees do the desk work around her: the Assistant, the Accountant, the Marketer, the Sales Rep and the Researcher. This guide covers who they are, how you work with one or several at once, how they pass work to each other, and where to see what they did.
Your AI Employees
Each AI Employee has one job, and its own face under Your team on the left of every screen.
| What it does | |
|---|---|
| Assistant | Handles mail and the calendar, and chases what needs chasing. |
| Accountant | Keeps on top of invoices, vouchers and what the books say. |
| Marketer | Drafts the posts, newsletters and offers that get the word out. |
| Sales Rep | Prepares quotes and follow-ups, and works through your leads with you. |
| Researcher | Looks into suppliers, competitors and the market, from what you give them or a page you name. |
Manage beside Your team opens the AI Employees screen, where you hire and let go. Every AI Employee is included in the plan. The Assistant and the Accountant come with every account; the others can be hired, and letting one go keeps every conversation with them for when they come back.
Name and photo gives an AI Employee a name, up to 40 characters, and a photo. The AI Employee introduces itself and signs with that name. The role always stays underneath the name.
Focus one desk
Press a face under Your team and the home screen becomes that AI Employee's desk: the command bar talks to them, the Today list shows their work, and the right column holds what belongs to their job. Press the face again, or Home, to see everyone.
Each desk has its own panel (the Accountant's books, the Assistant's day, the Marketer's content, the Sales Rep's sales, the Researcher's watched pages), then your Standing orders for that AI Employee and the On their own dials. A line above the list keeps you honest about everybody else: "3 other things wait for you, with the rest of the team." What they know about the business covers standing orders; Work that runs without you covers the dials.
Huddle: several at once
Some questions belong to two jobs. Is the oak veneer wardrobe within the Krügers' budget, and does it still leave a margin? Open Huddle under the faces and press Start a huddle. Pick at least two AI Employees; the order you pick them in is the order they answer.
They answer one after another, and each hears what the others said. With sums up at the end ticked, the first one closes with a summary, unless an answer ended with a question for you. Each AI Employee's part is also kept in your own conversation with them. Archive puts a finished huddle away.
When one passes work to another
Work often starts with one AI Employee and needs another. Lena was with the Accountant when she wanted DHL's parcel prices checked on the web, so she said the Researcher should look. The Accountant passed it on.
The Researcher's work shows in the thread you asked in, step by step, and it works in the same browser. When it's done, the answer lands in that same thread.
The Researcher keeps its own thread, titled "Passed on by the Accountant", one press away with Open its thread. The bell says "The Researcher has replied". What one AI Employee told the other is not shown; what you see is the request, the work and the answer.
Activity: what they did
Settings, Activity: "What your AI Employees did, line by line, and how it went."
The top shows the account's last thirty days: things done, replies written, conversations, scheduled task runs, a bar per day and a line per AI Employee. The screen counts work, not cost.
Below it, Line by line is the trail: one sentence per thing done, grouped by day, with the time, a word when it didn't go to plan (Failed, Declined, Expired) and a link to the thread. "Recorded 2 expenses", "Sent an email", "Asked the Researcher to take something on". The trail never shows what was written or sent.
Try it on your own business.
