An AI employee is a system you build in Claude to handle one part of your business the way you would. You hire it, train it on your business and your voice, connect it to the tools you already use and put it on a schedule, so it handles work like emails, reports and follow-ups while you approve what matters.
Just like hiring a person, an AI employee gets better as you train it, give it access and trust it with more. Every one starts at level one.
