The vocabulary that comes up while you are evaluating a Digital Employee, employee AI training, or a Live AI Workshop. Written plainly enough that you can tell when somebody is using one of these words to mean something else.
A managed AI worker configured for a specific business. At Standin, a Digital Employee usually starts with the Executive Skill Pack, then expands into approved sales, operations, reporting, research, support, and cross-system workflows.
A common synonym for an AI Digital Employee, also called a digital worker or digital employee. All describe AI that holds defined responsibilities inside a business, rather than a chat tool a person drives session by session.
Standin's first deployment package for every Digital Employee: inbox triage, email and follow-up drafts, calendar visibility, scheduling support, meeting prep, daily or weekly briefings, reporting, and open-loop tracking.
A Digital Employee focused on executive support and business coordination. Common jobs include daily briefings, meeting prep, email drafts, scheduling support, and request tracking. This is often the first package, not the full limit of what the Digital Employee can do.
Additional workflows added after the first package is trusted. Examples include sales follow-up, CRM updates, support triage, vendor research, SOP drafting, recruiting support, finance admin, reporting, and tool-to-tool workflow coordination.
A live training session that teaches employees how to use AI safely and practically inside the company. Standin offers a 4-hour virtual workshop ($5,000) and a 6-hour in-person workshop ($10,000).
A guardrail where AI can draft, summarize, organize, or prepare work, but a person approves sensitive actions before anything is sent, changed, or committed.
A secure authorization flow that lets a client connect tools like email or calendar without sharing passwords. The client approves access directly and can revoke it at any time.
A shared board where clients add workflow ideas, fixes, and improvement requests for their Digital Employee. At Standin the board carries up to two major builds in any 48-hour window, included in the monthly price rather than quoted separately.
The rules for how a company uses AI. Good governance covers what employees can use AI for, what data should not be pasted into tools, and what needs review before it reaches customers.
The habit of giving AI enough context, examples, constraints, and review criteria to produce useful work. Prompting is a skill employees can learn with practice.
Keeping track of unanswered questions, promised follow-ups, pending approvals, and work that is waiting on someone. This is one of the first places a Digital Employee can help.
The operating model where humans own judgment, relationships, and accountability while Digital Employees handle repeatable work and preparation.
