Introducing AI Employees: Zenfox Works for You

Until now, AI assistants could answer questions, run automations, and connect to your tools. But when you needed something done that required sustained effort — multiple steps over hours or days — you still had to manage every phase yourself.

That changes today.

What are AI Employees?

AI Employees are purpose-built agents you assign a specific role — a competitor analyst, an order manager, a lead generation specialist, a content writer. You describe the role in plain language, and Zenfox breaks it into a plan of actionable steps, then executes them one by one — using your connected tools, files, and data.

Roles you can assign:

• "Monitor my top 10 competitors and alert me to pricing changes."
• "Process incoming orders and update fulfillment status."
• "Find and qualify leads matching my ideal customer profile."

Your AI employee plans the work, does the work, and keeps you informed at every step.

Two modes: continuous and task-based

What makes AI Employees different from a simple automation is that you choose how they work:

Continuous employees run 24/7 without a fixed end date. They react to incoming events in real time — new orders, support tickets, market movements — and are ideal for ongoing operational roles that never truly finish.

Task-based employees are deployed to complete a specific big objective. They work through it step by step, produce all required deliverables, and report back when finished. Perfect for a product launch campaign, a research report, or a lead list build.

How it works

1. Define the role — Describe what this employee should do. Be as specific or as broad as you like.
2. They build a work plan — The role is broken into tasks and phases. Review and adjust before they start, or let them begin immediately.
3. Autonomous execution — Your employee works through each task using your connected integrations. They produce files, lists, drafts, data — whatever the role requires.
4. Human-in-the-loop — When a critical decision comes up, they pause and ask for your input. You validate, redirect, or refine — then execution resumes.

This is not a chatbot running one prompt. It's an agent executing a sustained plan with real tools, assigned to a role you define.

The AI Employees dashboard

Every employee gets their own real-time dashboard:

• Status Overview — What they're doing right now: active tasks and decisions waiting for your approval.
• Work Plan — The full plan with tasks and milestones. Watch them progress through each step.
• Deliverables — Everything produced: files, contact lists, reports, email drafts. Download or use them directly.
• Activity Log — Complete record of every action and decision. Full transparency.
• Role Settings — Configure report frequency, notifications, and autonomy level.

Employees that never clock out

For continuous roles — order management, customer support monitoring, market surveillance — your AI employee runs indefinitely and reacts to events in real time. They watch, process, and act 24/7 so you don't have to.

Combine continuous employees with the Autonomy Engine for maximum coverage: the Autonomy Engine watches for signals, while your AI Employees act on them.

You stay in control

AI Employees are built around human-in-the-loop. By default, they pause at every critical decision point:

• Sending outreach emails to a contact list
• Publishing content to a connected platform
• Making purchases or financial transactions
• Choosing between multiple strategies

You can adjust the autonomy level per employee — from full approval on every action, to smart autonomy where only high-impact decisions require your input, to full autonomy for well-defined, low-risk roles.

What can you assign an AI employee to do?

Anything that can be broken into steps:

• Influencer outreach — Find, verify, draft messages, and send.
• Product launch campaigns — Plan timelines, draft content, coordinate channels.
• Order management — Monitor orders, update fulfillment, notify customers.
• Competitive research — Track competitors, compile reports, alert on changes.
• Lead generation — Identify prospects, enrich data, score leads, initiate outreach.
• Content production — Research, outline, draft, optimize, publish.
