Twelve roles, described honestly.
Each AI employee below owns a defined role. Each connects to the tools you already use, reports to a named manager, and escalates when a situation needs a person. The descriptions cover what each role handles day to day — not what it might do in theory.
What each AI employee handles
-
01
Customer Support Agent
Handles tier-1 customer enquiries across live chat, email, WhatsApp, and social channels. It creates, categorises, and resolves tickets, updates your CRM after every interaction, and detects when a conversation should move to a person. Complex or sensitive cases escalate automatically.

- Categorisation and resolution
- Sentiment-based human escalation
- CRM record updates
- Support in 30+ languages
-
02

Researches prospects against your ideal customer profile, writes personalised outreach, and books qualified meetings into your sales calendar. Warm leads are handed to your account executives with a full briefing. Your team keeps the conversations that matter.
- Prospect research and ICP matching
- Email sequences and follow-ups
- LinkedIn research and outreach
- Meeting booking
- Pipeline reporting and handoff briefings
-
03

- Scheduling and conflict resolution
- Meeting agendas and briefings
- Email triage and drafting
- Travel research and itineraries
- Meeting notes and actions
-
04

- Social scheduling
- Email campaigns
- Ad copy for Google, Meta, and LinkedIn
- Performance reporting
-
05
Data Analyst
Pulls data from your databases, spreadsheets, and APIs, and turns it into scheduled reports and ad-hoc answers. It tracks KPIs against thresholds, flags anomalies, and answers plain-English questions about your data. Interpretation and decisions stay with your team.
- Data extraction
- Automated daily, weekly, and monthly reports
- Trend and anomaly detection
- KPI tracking and alerting
- Natural-language queries
-

HR Assistant
Runs onboarding workflows, answers policy and handbook questions, and processes leave requests. It handles first-line HR enquiries and escalates anything personal or sensitive to your HR team. Changes to personal data always require human approval.

- Policy and handbook Q&A
- Leave requests and balance tracking
- Survey distribution and analysis
- Enquiry triage and escalation
-
07
Finance & Accounts Assistant
Processes invoices from receipt to routing, categorises expenses against your policy, and reconciles bank statements. Exceptions are flagged for a person rather than forced through. Payments above your agreed threshold always require approval.

- Expense categorisation and policy checks
- Accounts payable and receivable tracking
- Bank reconciliation
- VAT preparation
-
08
Legal Document Analyst
Reviews contracts, extracts key clauses, and flags risk against your standard positions. It compares versions, tracks obligations and deadlines, and drafts NDAs from your templates. It augments qualified professionals — it does not give legal advice, and final review stays with a person.
- Contract review and risk flagging
- Clause extraction (termination, liability, IP, confidentiality)
- Redline comparison
- Obligation and deadline tracking
- Template-based drafting
-
09

- Ticket creation and routing
- New-starter IT setup checklists
- Knowledge base upkeep
-
10
Content Writer
Drafts blog posts, case studies, newsletters, and social copy to your brief, brand voice, and style guide. It handles keyword research and repurposes long-form content into shorter formats. Every draft goes to your editor before publication.
- Long-form drafts
- Short-form and social copy
- SEO optimisation
- Content repurposing
- Style guide compliance
-
11
Procurement Specialist
Manages purchase orders and approval workflows, monitors supplier performance, and tracks contract renewals so nothing auto-renews unseen. It prepares and distributes RFQs and triggers reorders from inventory rules you set.

- Supplier monitoring and scoring
- Renewal tracking and alerts
- RFQ preparation
- Inventory reorder triggers
-
12
Voice & Phone Agent
Handles inbound and outbound calls — routing, FAQ resolution, appointment booking, reminders, and lead qualification through structured conversations. Every call ends with a summary in your CRM. Callers who need a person are transferred, not deflected.
- Inbound routing and FAQ resolution
- Appointment booking and reminders
- Outbound follow-ups
- Lead qualification
- Post-call summaries and CRM updates
