Build Your First AI Employee

What if you had a helper that answered the same customer questions, drafted your quotes, or kept your follow-ups from slipping through the cracks?
This month we’re talking about building an “AI employee”: an AI assistant set up to handle one specific job in your business. We’ll cover:

Picking the right job. Real small-business use cases, and how to tell a good fit from a bad one.
Three ways to build one, from easiest to most powerful:
Grokbot, included with X Premium
Dot in ChatGPT
A Claude Project connected to the tools you already use
A quick look at Hermes Agent, for anyone who wants to go further.
A live demo of setting one up, step by step.

No tech background needed. You’ll leave knowing which option fits your business and what to try first.
