Rated 4.9 on G2: https://www.g2.com/products/cellcog/reviews (Source: G2.com, Inc.)

A general-purpose AI worker that owns a role: their own inbox, task board, and memory. They work real shifts and drive the work themselves. You set the goal. They run the work.

## Manage outcomes, not prompts.

### Hire in one line.

“Hire a marketing manager for Acme.”

### Grant the rails.

Connect the tools, set the permissions, decide what needs your approval.

### Watch them work.

Real shifts, their own task board, a written report back to you. Redirect any time.

## See what hiring one actually looks like.

Every screen below shows how hiring an AI employee works.

### Hire with a single prompt.

Describe the role like you'd brief a real hire. Under a minute later, they introduce themselves.

### Every employee gets their own computer.

Their own memory, apps, and guardrails, not a seat on a shared machine. Anything risky waits for your yes.

### They hand work to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, and check it.

They use the Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor subscription you already pay for, on your computer, plus other CellCog chats for research and media. They step away while it runs, then read every result before calling it done.

### Everything they make lands in a Drive you own.

Files save straight to your Drive. Shared work lands in the Organization Drive the whole team uses.

### They own their task board.

A board they run and you watch, live. Not a to-do list you write for them.

### Their own inbox, phone, channels, and coworkers.

A real inbox, a phone number people can call, and team channels, readable any time. Every working day ends in a report: done, next, what needs you.

### Connect your tools. Set what they can touch.

1,500+ tools plus your computer, browser, and keys. Grant a permission; they use it from the next message.

### They work on your computer too. With your permission.

On your machine behind an approval card. In your Chrome with your logins. And their own cloud computer, always on.

### They find leads, write personalized emails, and follow up.

Real research on every person, every email written from scratch, and machinery that protects your name.

### They take a seat in your meetings.

Invite them to your Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams call like anyone else on the team. They answer questions, they will not promise anything for you, and after the call they send you the notes and what needs doing.

### Give them a face and a voice. Even yours.

A few photos and a short voice sample make an avatar. One prompt returns videos in that face and voice.

### They buy what you need. You approve every purchase.

They put the order together and send you the exact total. Nothing is paid until you approve it, and the card they pay with works once, for that amount.

## Watch one of them work

## An owner, not an operator.

You are in the driver’s seat for critical decisions. They are in the driver’s seat for work.

### Nothing risky without your yes

You define what needs approval for the role. They ask first, every time.

### Everything visible, always

Every task, email and decision on one board. Redirect with one message.

### Manage output, not prompt

They plan the work, run it and report back.

## Hire one, or a team.

Hire more than one and they work as a team. They hand work to each other, onboard each other, and manage each other. You build the org chart. You stay in charge.

## Try one before you decide anything.

Free to try. You pay only for the work they do.

- **Under a minute**: Describe the role. They start.
- **Free to try**: No credit card. Pay only for the work.

## Most “AI employees” are a chatbot pointed at one job. Ours is a super-agent that can do any job.

A general employee is only as good as their ability to think. Background workers don’t have a human watching every step, so deep reasoning becomes the core capability. Since October 2025 we’ve been building that base: CellCog, a super-agent that’s among the leaders in deep research and the most complete across every modality. The AI Employee is that super-agent, given a name, a memory, an inbox, and a shift.

## Don’t take the word. Take the receipts.

The engine inside every AI employee, measured against the field.

- “I tried AlphaSense, then used CellCog. So much better, surprised AlphaSense couldn’t do it.” United States
- “Ran the same prompt on Claude and CellCog. Claude: 7/10. CellCog: 8.5/10.” India
- “It’s like having an entire research team at your fingertips.” United States

## Hire for any role.

The roles teams hire for most, with real prompts, honest limits, and the economics.

## Questions buyers actually ask

The honest answers to what an AI employee actually is, and how it works.

### What is an AI employee?

An AI employee is a general-purpose AI worker you hire for any role: marketing, growth, engineering, sales outreach, research, support, operations. You set the goals and permissions; they work real shifts with their own inbox and pull in your other AI employees when the job needs them. They can reason deeply across research, data, code, documents, and media, not just one narrow task.

### How is an AI employee different from a chatbot or assistant?

A chatbot waits for you to prompt it, one message at a time. An AI employee owns a role: their own email inbox, channels, a task board, persistent memory across shifts, and the autonomy to act on the goals and permissions you set, including handing work to your other AI employees or back to you when they need a decision.

### What about autonomous AI agents? How is this different?

An autonomous agent runs the task you hand it, then forgets you. An AI employee, sometimes called a digital worker, holds a standing role with long-term memory: shift 50 remembers the decisions from shift 1. They keep their own inbox, channels, and task board, coordinate with coworkers, and close every shift with a written report back to you. You are hiring, not running a task.

### What roles can I hire an AI employee for?

Any role. Every AI employee has the same full capabilities, so you define the role rather than picking from a fixed menu: marketing, growth, [engineering](https://cellcog.ai/ai-employees/ai-software-engineer), [sales outreach](https://cellcog.ai/ai-employees/ai-sdr), [customer support](https://cellcog.ai/ai-employees/ai-customer-support-agent), research, [design](https://cellcog.ai/ai-employees/ai-designer), data analysis, reporting, operations, and more.

### Can multiple AI employees work together?

Yes, that's the point. You build the org chart; they manage each other inside it. They hand tasks to each other, onboard new coworkers, and pull you in when a decision needs your judgment. Our own company runs this way.

### Can an AI employee use Claude Code, Codex or Cursor?

Yes. An AI employee, or a regular CellCog chat, can hand a piece of work to a subagent: Claude Code, Codex or Cursor running on your own computer under your own plan, another CellCog chat for research and media, or any tool that can call a link when it is done. The employee or chat steps away while the subagent works, then reads the result and marks it reviewed before telling you the job is done. [How subagents work](https://cellcog.ai/blog/ai-employee-subagents/).

### Can I hire AI employees?

Yes, today. The hire flow is self-serve and takes under a minute: you pick the role, your new AI employee introduces themselves in the chat, and hiring is free. You pay only for the work they do.

### How much is an AI employee?

You pay for the work, not the hire. Hiring is free. Each time your employee works, they spend credits from your account: on Flash, built for speed, a working session typically runs under $5. On Max, our deepest reasoning, the same session runs up to about $25. From there the cost depends purely on how much work you assign. Start free, no credit card needed, with 200 credits.

### What happens when credits run out?

Work pauses safely and nothing is lost. Top up your credits or turn on auto-reload, and your employee picks up exactly where they left off, with one message to resume the shift.

### Do I stay in control of what they do?

Yes. You set the permissions, anything dangerous waits for your approval, and every task and email is visible on one board.

### Do I need a sales call or setup help?

No. The hire flow is self-serve and takes under a minute. You can sign up and try it free with 200 credits, no credit card needed. And if you want help or more information at any point, write to us through the [contact page](https://cellcog.ai/contact).

### How is my data handled?

Your employee only works inside the permissions you grant, and those permissions are set up front as part of onboarding: you decide which tools, accounts, and data they can touch before they start, and anything dangerous waits for your approval. You can review or revoke any permission at any time.

## Hire your first AI employee.

They show up with a name, an inbox, and the judgment to run the work you don’t have time for. They start tonight.
