Question 1

What exactly am I hiring?

Accepted Answer

A managed AI employee: a system we build around one job in your business, connect to the tools that job touches, train on how you work, and keep running every day. You get a teammate that owns a defined scope of work. We own making it reliable.

Question 2

How is this different from ChatGPT or an AI assistant app?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT waits for you to type. An AI employee shows up on its own: it works your inbox before you do, preps every meeting on your calendar, updates the CRM after every call, and sends you the follow-ups that need a decision. It is the difference between a search box and a person who has your calendar and your login.

Question 3

Do I need to be technical, or have someone technical on staff?

Accepted Answer

No. You never touch a server, a prompt, or a setting. We design, build, secure, and manage the whole thing. You interact with your AI employee the way you would with a person: Slack, email, text, or a short daily brief.

Question 4

What does the AI employee do without asking me?

Accepted Answer

Whatever you decide it should. We start conservative: reading, sorting, drafting, preparing, and reminding happen automatically. Anything that leaves the building, like sending an email to a client, changing a meeting, or updating a deal stage, starts as an approval and only becomes automatic when you say so.

Question 5

How long until it is doing real work?

Accepted Answer

A typical first hire is live in about three weeks from the ride-along. The first week is observation and design. The second is build and integration. The third is training, testing with real data, and launch. Most clients see the daily brief and inbox triage working within the first few days after launch.

Question 6

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

A first AI employee starts around $5,000 for the implementation, which covers the ride-along, workflow design, integrations, configuration, security setup, testing, and launch. Ongoing management is a monthly engagement sized to the number of employees and workflows we run for you. We publish ranges, not a rate card, because the scope is set by your business.

Question 7

Is my data safe? Who can see it?

Accepted Answer

Your AI employee runs on infrastructure dedicated to you, with credentials scoped to only the systems and permissions the job requires. Every action is logged. You own the data and the accounts, you can see everything it did, and you can revoke its access in minutes. We do not train models on your data.

Question 8

Do you only work with Nashville companies?

Accepted Answer

Nashville and Middle Tennessee is where we do our best work, because we can sit in your office and watch how the work actually happens. We take on remote engagements when the fit is right, but the in-person ride-along is a large part of why our deployments stick.

Question 9

What technology is under the hood?

Accepted Answer

Frontier language models from providers like Anthropic and OpenAI, orchestrated by an open-source agent runtime (we use OpenClaw), running on hardened infrastructure we provision for each client. We pick the stack for reliability and security, and we change components as better ones appear. You never have to think about it.
