What can AI employees do?

Type one sentence and AI employees build a whole company around it: the AI Co-Founder plans it and keeps it moving, and the AI Engineer builds its website and apps. Then the team does the front-line work from start to finish. Raya answers your phone line and your customers on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and email, and opens, resolves and escalates tickets. Adam talks to your website visitors by voice, scores every lead and runs the email and phone campaigns you approve. Sara interviews every applicant by voice, checks their ID and ranks every résumé. Already run a business? Add the same team to it. Need another role? Describe it and hire it.

How is an AI employee different from a chatbot?

A chatbot answers from a script; an AI employee does the work behind the question. When a shopper asks Raya whether a jacket comes in medium, she checks your connected Shopify stock, answers in the shopper's language and hands the buyer to Adam. When a customer asks for a refund, she opens a ticket and escalates it to your team with a summary. And when she can't answer, she tells you exactly what to teach her.

How much do AI employees cost?

You can start free: the Free plan gives you a free launch for your first business, plus 5 starter Credits on day one, with no card required. Paid plans are Pro at $50 a month with 160 Credits each month, Business at $250 with 900 and Scale at $500 with 2,000, and phone lines are available on Business and Scale. One Credit balance pays for every AI employee, each reply or task is priced by what it actually used, and credits are held, not charged, until the work is delivered.

How fast can I set up an AI employee?

Setup is fast and guided. Sign up free, point your AI employee at your website so it learns your business, and connect the channels it should work on, such as website chat, WhatsApp or email. Raya starts answering customers right away, Adam starts talking to visitors as soon as his script tag is on your site, and Sara starts interviewing as soon as your job is published.

Can AI employees use my existing tools?

Yes. AI employees work inside your tools: 60+ apps are built in, with 1,000+ ready-made actions, so they do the work instead of just reading data. Connect Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Zendesk, Intercom or Workable. HubSpot syncs both ways, and any other CRM comes in by spreadsheet or API. If your own system has an API, import its spec and your AI employee can use it. You can also run your team from Slack or WhatsApp.

What do AI employees do on their own, and what needs my approval?

Authorized routine work runs on its own: Raya answers customers and resolves tickets, Adam talks to visitors and scores leads, and Sara interviews and ranks applicants. Sensitive actions wait for your yes: anything that moves money or makes a new commitment, each outbound campaign Adam launches and each candidate call Sara places. You can set any action to “ask me first” or pause a channel at any time, and every approval is logged.

Will AI employees replace my team?

AI employees take the front-line work off your team, so your people can focus on what only people do: closing big deals, making hiring decisions and caring for the customers who need a person. Raya answers the 2 a.m. questions and escalates hard cases to your team with a summary. Adam talks to every visitor who wants to talk and scores every lead. Sara interviews every applicant, so your hiring manager meets only the shortlist.

Can AI employees start a whole business from an idea?

Yes. Describe a business in one sentence and your AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer turn it into a named, branded company: its website and full-stack app published at its own address in up to two languages, an inbox, payments through your own Stripe account, Raya and Adam already trained on it, and video ads made in its customers' dialect. The Co-Founder keeps the team working in parallel, so the business keeps working on itself and answers your customers, without you.

How do I hire my first AI employee?

Sign up free, with no card required. To start a company, type your idea in one sentence and your AI team builds and runs it. For a business you run, pick the job you need done first: Raya for customer service, Adam for sales or Sara for hiring; point it at your website, connect its channels, and it starts with fast guided setup. Add the others whenever you're ready. They share one brain, so what you teach one, the whole team knows. Need a different role? Pick one of 15 ready-made roles or describe your own.

What is an AI employee?

An AI employee does a whole job, not a single task: it builds your company, answers your customers, works your leads or interviews your applicants, and reports back.

Definition

An AI employee is an AI teammate that does a complete job for a business, the way a person in that role would. It works in the same channels and tools, follows your knowledge and rules, and finishes the work itself instead of handing it back. At Teammates.ai, AI employees are called AI teammates: the AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer build a company from one sentence and keep it moving, Raya runs customer service, Adam runs sales and Sara runs hiring.

They work around the clock, answer each customer in their own language and hold unlimited conversations at the same time, each paid in Credits. Teach them once and the whole team knows it: your products, prices and policies live in one shared brain.

AI Employees: The Complete Guide

What is an AI employee?

An AI employee is an AI teammate that owns a whole job for your business, such as customer service, sales or hiring, and does the work itself. It talks to your customers, takes action in your tools and follows the rules you set, day and night, in each customer's language.

The difference from software is ownership. A help desk gives your team a place to answer tickets; Raya answers them. A sales tool stores your leads; Adam talks to them, scores them and runs the campaigns you approve. An interview scheduler books calls; Sara interviews every applicant herself and hands you a ranked shortlist. That is why people also call them AI workers: you judge them by the job done, not by seats in a piece of software.

At Teammates.ai, AI employees work as one team: the AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer build a whole company from one sentence, and the team runs it. They share one brain, so what you teach one, every teammate knows. When a support conversation shows that a customer wants to buy, Raya hands that buyer to Adam and the lead lands on the customer's timeline. That shared context is what separates a team of AI employees from a stack of AI tools that never talk to each other.

You hire one the way you would hire a person: choose the role, explain the business, and give it the channels and apps the job needs. The difference is speed: setup is fast and guided.

How AI employees differ from chatbots and automation

A chatbot answers questions from a script or a decision tree; when a question falls outside it, the customer is sent to a form or told to email support. An AI employee answers from your own knowledge, your website and the customer's history, then does what the answer requires: it updates the ticket, collects the lead's details, or escalates to your team with a summary when your rules say a person should take over.

Automation tools such as Zapier move data between apps when a fixed trigger fires: if this happens, do that. They are reliable for predictable steps and stop at anything unexpected. An AI employee reads what the customer actually wrote, decides what the situation needs and acts within the permissions you gave it. Keep automation for fixed steps; give the work that needs judgment to an AI employee.

Here is the difference in practice. A shopper asks your website chat at 11 p.m. whether a jacket comes in medium. A chatbot sends a link to the size guide. Raya checks your connected Shopify stock, answers in the shopper's language, sees that they want to buy and hands them to Adam as a new lead. If the same shopper later asks for a refund, Raya opens a ticket and passes it to your team with a summary, because refunds stay with your team by default.

The second difference is learning. A chatbot's script stays as written until someone edits it. Raya detects the questions she could not answer from your knowledge and turns each one into a gap you can fill, so you know exactly what to teach her. Teach it once, and every AI employee on the team knows it.

The third is scope. Automation handles tasks, such as sending a follow-up in three days. AI employees handle jobs. Adam finds prospects who match your ideal customer, writes every email and call plan himself and runs the campaign once you approve it, inside calling hours, volume caps and do-not-call rules.

What AI employees do today

Teammates.ai gives you two AI employees that build a new company from one sentence, three that run its support, sales, calls and hiring (or yours), and room for any role you can describe.

The AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer build new businesses. Describe one in a sentence and they name it, brand it, build its website and full-stack app, and publish it at its own address in up to two languages. The business gets its own inbox on day one, takes payments through your own Stripe account comes with Raya and Adam already trained on it, and gets video ads made in its customers' dialect. The Co-Founder then keeps the team working in parallel, so the business keeps working on itself and answers your customers, without you.

Raya runs your whole call center, on her own. She answers your customers day and night, in their language, on your website (typed chat, voice notes or a live voice call), WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and email. She opens, updates and resolves tickets, escalates to your team with a summary under rules you set, finds the questions she could not answer and hands every buying signal she hears to Adam. There is no cap on how many conversations she holds at once; each is paid in Credits. On the Business and Scale plans, Raya also answers your phone calls.

Adam runs your sales. Add him to your website with one script tag and visitors talk to him by voice in the browser. He reads the page they are on, shows them the exact section that answers their question, switches your site's language mid-call, collects their details into your own form fields and lets interested visitors book a meeting on your connected calendar. After every call he scores the lead against your ideal customer. Behind the website, he finds prospects who match that customer, writes every email and call plan himself and runs the email and phone campaigns you approve.

Sara runs your hiring. She publishes your job to a careers board and to your own website, reads and ranks every résumé against the role, and interviews every applicant by voice with the camera on, at any hour, with an ID check and cheating signals flagged. She scores each interview, hands you a ranked shortlist and, after one approval, emails the candidates on it for you. Ask her in chat to call a candidate and she shows you the call and its cost; you approve, and she phones them with the purpose you gave.

Any role you can describe. For a business you already run, pick one of 15 ready-made roles, from executive assistant and accountant to marketing coordinator and IT help desk, or describe the job in your own words. The new AI employee joins with the same memory, approvals and connected apps as the rest of your team.

Phone work, such as Raya's calls, Adam's call campaigns and Sara's candidate calls, runs on a phone line, available on the Business and Scale plans.

What AI employees cost and how billing works

AI employees at Teammates.ai are paid for in Credits, not seats. You can start free, with a free launch of your first business plus 5 starter Credits on day one and no card required, and paid plans start at $50 a month.

Free costs $0 and includes a free launch of your first business and 5 starter Credits on day one, and the Free plan does not expire. Pro costs $50 a month and includes 160 Credits each month. Business costs $250 a month with 900 Credits each month. Scale costs $500 a month with 2,000 Credits each month. Every AI employee is available on every plan, and phone lines are available on Business and Scale.

One balance pays for the whole team. Credits are shared across all your AI employees, so the same balance covers Raya's replies, Adam's calls and Sara's interviews. Each reply or task is priced by what it actually used, so a short chat reply costs less than a long voice call. Before a task starts, its Credits are set aside, and credits are held, not charged, until the work is delivered.

Unused Credits on a paid plan roll over at renewal for 30 days, up to one month's allowance, and you can top up whenever you need more.

When you compare an AI employee with a hire, compare the work. A person covers one shift, in the languages they speak, a few conversations at a time. Raya covers every hour, answers in each customer's language and holds as many conversations at once as your customers start, and your Credits go to the work she does.

Security and control

You decide what each AI employee can see and do. An AI employee works only on the channels and apps you connect, each app connection is tied to the exact account you signed in with, and you can share an app with the whole business or keep it for one teammate.

Routine work you have authorized runs on its own: answering customers, resolving tickets, scoring leads, interviewing applicants. Sensitive actions wait for a person's yes, such as anything that moves money or makes a new commitment, each outbound campaign and each candidate call. Refunds, cancellations and order changes go to your team by default. You can set any action to “ask me first” or pause a channel, and an AI-run business can pause every teammate at once.

Escalation follows your rules. By default, Raya hands a conversation to a person when the customer asks for one, when sentiment, priority or VIP status calls for it, or after two failed attempts, and she passes along a summary of the conversation.

Every approval and admin action is logged, along with teammate actions and changes to roles and settings. Credentials for connected apps are encrypted at rest. Do-not-contact and do-not-call lists, consent records and email unsubscribes are built in, and Adam's campaigns run inside calling hours, volume caps and do-not-call rules.

You also control what your AI employees remember. Memories from conversations can be confirmed or forgotten, you choose which ones customers may hear, and company-wide rules you write once apply to every teammate.

How to hire and onboard an AI employee

Hiring an AI employee is fast and guided. Here is the whole path.

Step one: sign up free. No card is required, and your first business launches free and gets 5 starter Credits on day one.

Step two: choose the job. To start a new company, type your idea and the AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer build it. For a business you run, pick Raya for customer service, Adam for sales, Sara for hiring, or one of 15 ready-made roles. Start with the job that costs you most today: messages that wait until morning, website visitors who leave without talking to anyone, or applicants nobody has time to screen.

Step three: teach it your business. Point your AI employee at your website and add your documents. It learns from them, answers from them and cites the page it used. Teach it once and every teammate knows.

Step four: connect the channels. Put Raya on your website chat and connect WhatsApp Business, Instagram, Messenger or your email. Paste Adam's script tag on your site. Publish a job and Sara interviews whoever applies. Connect the apps the job needs, such as Gmail, Slack, HubSpot or Shopify.

Step five: let it work. Your AI employee starts on real conversations right away. Escalations reach your team with a summary, sensitive actions come to you for a yes, and Raya shows you the questions she could not answer so you can fill each gap. You can run the whole team from Slack or WhatsApp.

Add your next AI employee whenever you are ready. They share one brain, so the second one starts out knowing what you taught the first.

Teammates.ai gives you two AI employees that build a new company from one sentence, three that run its support, sales, calls and hiring (or yours), and room for any role you can describe.

Phone work, such as Raya's calls, Adam's call campaigns and Sara's candidate calls, runs on a phone line, available on the Business and Scale plans.
