For teams & organisations
AI employees, minus the theatre
Vendors now pitch 'AI employees' at five-figure annual prices. Some of that value is real; much of it is a chat interface in a suit. What separates them is unglamorous: permissions, audit trails, escalation rules, and whether the thing knows what it doesn't know. Here's how to evaluate this category like an operator.
01You're in the right place if
- Answers live in old emails and someone's head
- New staff take months to become independent
- Support and screening quality varies by who's on shift
- You're being quoted 'AI employee' prices and can't tell what's real
02What to actually expect
Grounding beats intelligence
An assistant grounded in your verified documents, citing sources, beats a smarter model guessing. Ask any vendor: where does it get facts, and what happens when it has none?
Permissions are the project
Mapping who may see what is most of the work. A vendor who calls that step 'easy' hasn't done it.
Autonomy is earned in stages
Start with advise-only, graduate to approved actions, then narrow autonomous lanes with exception escalation. Anyone selling day-one full autonomy is selling risk.
