The digital employee, clearly explained

A workflow that runs on a schedule with approval gates on key operations is a digital employee—it produces reports, reviews ad campaigns, and replies to reviews every day, and you can see everything it did at each step and how much it cost.

A day of operation

A day in the life of a digital employee

Take ad campaigns as an example. This timeline is what "runs on a schedule with approval gates on key operations" looks like in practice.

A person appears just once, at 10:30: a glance at the bid suggestions, with values editable inline; it executes only once approved, and nothing changes on rejection or timeout.

Cost

The Numbers Add Up

How many tokens and how much money each run costs is recorded down to the step level; the analytics dashboard is built in, so you don't guess from the month-end bill.

  • Every step's token usage and cost on the execution timeline is recorded per run and queryable anytime
  • After a failure, rerun from a specified step, with completed LLM steps not billed again
  • Spend is controlled through approval gates and maxRuns caps: AI only proposes, write actions need human approval, and chained tasks have a maximum run count
  • The dashboard reports success rate, duration, and usage by workflow, so high-cost processes stand out at a glance

Rollout path

Four stages, from individual use to multi-department scale

No need to roll out company-wide from day one; nail one thing per stage, then move to the next.

01An Individual Using ChatGPTSomeone on the team already uses it daily to write reports and organize data, but the prompts and know-how stay locked in individual chat histories.
What this stage doesPick a process that repeats daily with clear boundaries as the candidate for your first workflow.
02Get your first workflow runningStart from a template, connect credentials and data sources, set a scheduled trigger, and send the output straight to the group.
What this stage doesGet it working in demo mode first, then connect real data and add approval to write actions.
03Multiple team processes, with approval as standardMultiple workflows run on schedules, templates and credentials are shared within the team, and permissions are tiered per person.
What this stage doesBring all high-risk operations under approval gates, and use execution records to review costs regularly.
04Scaling Across DepartmentsMultiple departments each maintain their own workflows, with quotas, permissions, and auditing managed by tier.
What this stage doesEvaluate self-hosted deployment to pull the data boundary into your own infrastructure.
