Questions owners ask

Will it replace my staff?

That’s your decision. Most owners use AI employees for the repeatable work so their people can do the work only people can do.

Is hiring really free?

Yes. All 25 AI employees are free to hire. You pay for the work they do, with a monthly plan from the plans on our pricing page; your first month is half price.

Will it do things without asking me?

Only what you allow. Anything with a price, anything unusual and anything emotional comes to you first.

How long does setup take?

A few minutes: give WorkFast your website, answer a few questions, and it recommends your workforce and calls you to show how it works.
