Terabot vs hiring staff

Hire a person for judgement, relationships and new problems. Use a Terabot digital worker for repeatable computer work that never stops: follow-ups, replies, data entry and reports. Most teams do best with both: people decide, digital workers do the volume, around the clock.

Which jobs should go to a digital worker?

  • Work with clear steps that repeats every day or week.
  • Work that happens on a computer, in apps your team already uses.
  • Work that is urgent at odd hours, such as replying to a new lead at night.
  • Work that piles up when someone is on leave.

Which jobs should stay with people?

Anything that needs real judgement, negotiation, empathy in a hard moment, or a decision that commits the company. A good set-up has people doing those, with digital workers preparing everything around them.
