So… What is an AI Employee, Really?
Hint: Not just “using AI.” Building an AI teammate.
An AI employee is a deliberately designed AI role in your business that has a clear job, boundaries, and workflows, just like a human hire, and is used to support your energy, ethics, and goals, not replace you.
An AI employee is:
Role-based, not random.
It has a specific job title and purpose, like “Content Repurposing Specialist” or “Inbox Assistant,” instead of “I sometimes ask ChatGPT things.”
Embedded in your workflow.
There is a repeatable process with clear inputs and outputs. It is part of how your business runs, not a one-off experiment.
Trained on your world.
It knows your offers, audience, voice, and boundaries, so it works in context instead of sounding like generic internet advice.
Ethical and transparent.
You stay honest about where AI is involved, protect client data, and keep yourself in the final decision seat.
Nervous-system friendly.
Its job is to reduce overwhelm, decision fatigue, and busywork so you can work like a human, not a machine.
