Your First 30 Days With an AI Employee
A practical week-by-week playbook for onboarding your first AI Employee — what to automate first, how to build trust, and the mistakes to avoid.
Deploying an AI Employee isn't a switch you flip — it's an onboarding, same as a human hire. Here's the 30-day path our best customers follow.
Week 1 — Observe
Point the AI Employee at a real workflow in read-only / draft mode. Let it propose responses; a human approves every one. You're building a track record.
Week 2 — Narrow autonomy
Graduate the highest-confidence, lowest-risk lane to auto-send. Keep everything else gated. Measure quality, not just volume.
Week 3 — Expand
Add a second workflow. Start layering in your knowledge base so answers reflect your policies, not generic ones.
Week 4 — Review & scale
Run the numbers: hours saved, quality scores, customer sentiment. Decide which lanes earn more autonomy — and which stay human-gated.
The one rule
Never auto-promote a workflow to sending without a human sign-off. Trust is earned lane by lane.
