Lesson 10 · Advanced · Scheduled staff & automation

AI automation for small business: hiring your first scheduled AI employee

Runs on schedule — no leave, no wages

What you walk away with

Clocks on by itself. Takes no leave, draws no wage. Everything you've installed so far has one thing in common: it does one job when you say one thing. This build winds up the clockwork — write the instructions once and it turns up for work on schedule every day. Laptop shut, you out on a job site — it runs anyway. Once this is in, the mail officer and meetings officer you hired earlier can all be wound onto the same clockwork.
