AI Employees for Small Business: A Complete Guide
AI employees are AI-powered workers that handle specific business tasks — bookkeeping, customer support, scheduling — on a per-task basis. You pay {price} per completed task, not a salary.
The concept of an "AI employee" is simple: instead of hiring a human for a repetitive task, you hire an AI that does it autonomously and charges per task completed.
What is an AI employee?
An AI system designed to perform a specific job role autonomously. Unlike a chatbot, an AI employee does work: processes invoices, answers reviews, schedules appointments.
Key distinction: accountable for completing tasks, not just responding to queries.

What tasks can they do?
High-volume, rules-based: invoice processing, data entry, review responses, scheduling.
