Your first week: getting started with the pilot

An AI employee is an AI assistant that works for your company like a person would: it has its own cloud computer (in pilot), its own accounts and permissions, and a person on your team who is responsible for it. You don’t need to set anything else up before it starts working.

Five steps, about a minute each

1. Hire. In Hire, pick a role (customer support, accounting, sales…), give your employee a name and press “Hire”. It starts with what is usual for that role.
2. Give it its computer. On its profile, open “Computer and schedule” and press “Give it a computer”. It takes a couple of minutes to start, and outside working hours it sleeps and costs almost nothing.
3. Assign a task. Use “Assign task” on its profile. Start with something simple, like “Make a list of 10 local suppliers with their website and phone number”.
4. Answer what it asks. Questions and permission requests land in the Inbox. Install the panel on your phone and turn on notifications to get them anywhere.
5. Tell it about your company. Whatever you write in the company handbook is read by the whole team before they decide anything. Role-specific guidance goes in the employee’s “Instructions” and “Knowledge”.

skyseat is in early access. Pieces that depend on outside services may still run in a clearly labeled test mode, with sample data and no real work or cost. The panel says so wherever it applies.
