Tutorial: Onboard Your First AI Employee in a Day
A step-by-step tutorial for standing up your first AI Employee — from picking the right first workflow to going live safely.
You don't need a big project to get value from an AI Employee. Here's how to launch your first one in a single day.
Step 1 — Pick one workflow
Choose a task that's repetitive, well-defined, and low-risk — order-status replies, FAQ answers, or triage. Resist the urge to automate everything at once.
Step 2 — Start in draft mode
Let the AI Employee propose responses while a human approves each one. You're building a track record before anything reaches a customer.
Step 3 — Add your knowledge
Point it at your policies, docs, and any live notices so its answers reflect your business, not generic defaults.
Step 4 — Go live on one lane
Graduate your highest-confidence category to auto-send. Keep everything else gated. Measure quality, then expand.
Step 5 — Review weekly
Check accuracy and customer sentiment. Promote lanes that earn it. That's it — you're running an AI Employee.
