**What is an AI employee?**

A named team member with a defined role and ownership of specific types of work. Every workspace ships with nine: Astra (CEO), Riley, Sam, Jordan, Casey, Dev, Sage, Victor, and Harper.

**What makes them more than a chatbot?**

Each has a job title and clear scope. Each remembers context across tasks — brand voice, past decisions, customer notes. Each picks up tasks from Astra and runs them to a deliverable. They show their work in the task thread so you can see the reasoning.

**Can I hire more or fire one?**

No. The roster is fixed. The nine roles cover a typical small startup's needs. You talk to Astra and she dispatches the others.
