Hire an AI employee

An AI employee is software you delegate real work to — it acts across your apps to read email, update your CRM, build reports, and chase follow-ups. You describe the outcome in plain English; it does the steps, and anything sensitive waits for your approval.

Real work, done

What an AI employee actually does

Not a demo and not just chat — concrete tasks it runs end to end across the tools you already use.

Reads email and drafts replies

It triages your inbox, groups threads by intent and urgency, and drafts replies in your voice. You approve before a single one sends.

Updates your CRM

New lead lands? It creates or updates the contact and deal, logs the activity, and keeps records clean without you touching a field.

See how it works →

Builds weekly reports

On a schedule, it pulls the numbers from your CRM and spreadsheets, writes a plain-language summary, and posts it once you approve.

See how it works →

Chases the follow-ups you forget

It watches for replies that stall, drafts the nudge at the right moment, and keeps deals and invoices from going cold.

Questions about hiring an AI employee

How much does it cost to hire an AI employee?
You can start free. Paid plans run $25/month (Starter), $100/month (Pro), and $250/month (Business). You pay per seat for the people who delegate and approve, plus credits for the work itself — every plan runs unlimited AI workers, so you're paying for work done, not per hire.
What can an AI employee do?
It reads and drafts email, updates your CRM, builds and sends recurring reports, chases follow-ups, files documents, and more — acting across 2,700+ connected apps like Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, and Google Sheets. You describe the outcome in plain English; it runs the steps. Anything sensitive waits for your approval.
Is it safe to let an AI employee act in my tools?
Yes — and control is the point. Sensitive actions like sending email, moving money, or posting publicly pause for your one-tap approval. Access to each app is scoped and revocable, and every step is written to an audit trail you can review. It drafts and proposes; nothing sends until you say so.
How is an AI employee different from a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant is a person you hire, train, and schedule; a taskden AI employee is software you delegate to. It's live in minutes instead of weeks, works around the clock, and costs a subscription instead of a salary. It won't replace human judgment — it takes the repetitive work off your team's plate.
How is it different from a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions. An AI employee takes action — it reads your inbox, updates records, and sends the follow-up, chaining steps across your real tools. A chatbot talks; an AI worker does the work, with your approval on anything that matters.
How do I get started?
Sign up free, connect an app like Gmail or Slack, and give a worker its first task in plain English — for example, 'triage my inbox and draft replies.' It proposes the work and you approve. No credit card required to start.
