An AI workforce is a team of AI agents that each own a job in your business, like answering customers, checking invoices or writing posts, and do it on their own. Unlike a chatbot, each one has its own logins and a shared cloud computer, keeps working while you're away, and asks you only when a step is risky. ## What makes Workser a workforce > **A role, not a prompt** > > Each AI agent is hired for a job: customer support, bookkeeping, social posts. It keeps the job's instructions, tools and history, so you don't explain it again. > **Its own identity** > > It can have its own [work email and phone number](/ai-workforce/identity), and uses [saved logins](/ai-workforce/logins-and-computers) to your apps. It fills passwords in by name and never sees them. > **A cloud computer** > > It works on the project's shared cloud computer, in a cloud browser and your connected apps, so the work keeps going when your laptop is closed. > **Works on its own** > > It runs [Automations](/ai-workforce/automations) on a schedule or when something happens, like a new email, and suggests the next task when one ends. > **Asks when it's risky** > > Refunds, deletes, cancellations, payments from \$50 and emails to people you haven't trusted yet [wait for your yes](/ai-workforce/approvals-and-stuck). Everything else it just does. > **Reports like a colleague** > > It checks its work against what you asked before it says Done, and texts you in your [chat app](/ai-workforce/chat-apps) when a task is done or stuck. ## How it differs from a chatbot, an AI chat app and automation These are kinds of tools, not products. Many products mix them, and a simple automation is often the cheapest choice for a fixed task. | | Chatbot | AI chat app | Automation tool | AI workforce | | - | - | - | - | - | | Who starts the work | A customer, with a question | You, each time | A trigger you set up | You, an Automation, or the AI agent itself | | What it does | Answers from a script or a help center | Writes and answers in a chat window | Runs the same steps every time | Does whole tasks in your apps, start to finish | | Where it works | On your website | In a chat window | Between connected apps | A shared cloud computer, a web browser and your apps | | When something new comes up | Hands over to a person | Waits for your next message | Stops until someone fixes it | Works it out, or asks you if it's risky | | Best for | Common customer questions | Thinking and drafting with you | Fixed, repeated steps | Ongoing work you'd give a new hire | See [how Workser compares](/ai-workforce/compare) with other AI agent products. ## Who it's for * Owners of small businesses who do the desk work themselves after hours. * Solo founders and freelancers who want admin, inbox and follow-ups off their plate. * Small teams that want routine work done the same way every day without hiring for it yet. Read [AI agents by type of business](/ai-workforce/use-cases): online shops, SaaS, freelancers, restaurants, agencies and local services. ## What it isn't * It doesn't replace your judgment: risky steps come to you, and you can stop any task. * It works best on tasks you can describe in plain words and check afterwards. * Work phone numbers are US and Canada only today; elsewhere it works by email and chat apps. ## Key facts | | | | - | - | | Where it runs | In your web browser at [workser.ai](https://workser.ai).
