An AI employee is software assigned to one recurring piece of work — a month's attendance, a daily report, a round of creator outreach — rather than to a conversation. It reads the systems a company already uses, works by that company's own rules, and stops to ask a person before anything leaves the building.
A chatbot answers whatever you type next. An AI employee is scoped the other way: it owns a defined piece of work with a known input, a known output, and a standard for what counts as correct. You do not re-explain the job every time — the job is the unit, not the conversation.
AI agent is the underlying technology: software that can plan, call tools and take multi-step action toward a goal. AI employee is a specific way of applying that technology — one agent, one job, governed by an organization's own rules and gated by a person's approval before anything goes out. Every AI employee is built on agent technology; not every agent is built to be an employee.
Each AI employee on Fiitx is defined as a job: what it reads, which systems it may touch, which numbers count as correct, and where it must ask a person first. Rules — report formulas, approval thresholds, column meanings — are held per organization and pushed to every seat, so correcting a definition once means nobody repeats the mistake. The desktop app runs on the employee's own machine and holds the runtime, so the files and business systems it touches stay in your hands rather than sitting in someone else's cloud.
Not quite. AI agent is the technology. AI employee is a way of using it: one job, one set of organization-delivered rules, and a stop for approval before anything goes out.
No — it owns a recurring piece of work, not a role. Most teams use it to take routine volume off a person's hands; who does what beyond that is each company's own call.
On the desktop — macOS or Windows — of the person it works for. That machine holds the runtime, the browser sessions and the credentials it needs, so the files and business systems it touches stay in your hands.
A corrected formula, a column name or a rule is remembered and applied the next time the job runs, and anything it sends or writes back still stops for a person's sign-off first.
