Imagine a whole department of AI workers, from S$500 a month
Most businesses we meet are not short of ideas. They are short of hands. The inbox, the data entry, the reports, the follow-ups: the work that fills everyone's week and never gets anyone promoted. From S$500 a month you can hand that work to a department of eight or more AI workers, and give your people their week back.
Not a chatbot. A department.
When most people hear “AI” they picture one chat box. An AI department is something else: a team of AI agents, each with one job, working inside the tools your business already runs on.
One agent reads the inbox. Another keeps the CRM up to date. Another pulls the Monday numbers. Behind them, smaller sub-agents handle the narrow steps: looking something up, filling in a form, checking a figure. A lead agent hands out the work and collects the results, a checker reviews it, and a person, you or someone on your team, stays the manager.
That structure is the point. A single AI trying to do everything is hard to trust. Eight workers with clear jobs, a reviewer and a manager behave much more like the team you already know how to run.
Your first eight hires
Inbox and enquiries clerkReads every email and website enquiry, answers the routine ones from your own information, and routes the rest to the right person with a summary.
Data entry officerMoves details from forms, emails, PDFs and spreadsheets into your CRM, accounting or job system. No more copying the same fields twice.
Sales follow-up assistantChases quotes that went quiet, sends reminders, books the next call and logs every touch in the CRM so nothing falls through.
Reporting analystLogs into your dashboards every Monday, pulls the numbers, and posts a plain summary to Slack before your team meeting starts.
Research assistantLooks into competitors, suppliers, prices and tenders, and comes back with a short brief and the sources it used.
Content and social coordinatorDrafts posts from your notes, prepares the designs, and schedules or uploads them to your channels once approved.
Operations coordinatorKeeps your monday.com boards current, nudges owners about overdue items, and makes sure every job has a next step.
Quality checkerReviews the other workers' output before anything leaves the building, and flags anything it is unsure about to a person.
If it is done with a mouse and keyboard, it can be handed over
The newest AI agents do not need a special connection to your software. They use a computer the way your staff do: open the browser, log in, click through the screens, type into the fields, download the file, upload it somewhere else. That means the old admin portal with no export button, the supplier website, the government form and the spreadsheet everyone shares are all fair game.
The practical test we use is simple. If you could write the steps down for a new hire, an AI worker can be trained on them. Where a step depends on judgement, such as whether to give a discount or how to answer an upset customer, the AI worker prepares everything and a person makes the call.
We describe how these bots are built and rolled out on our AI agents and automation page.
What S$500 a month actually buys
Plans start from S$500 a month for a department of eight or more AI workers. For a fraction of the cost of a single salary, you get workers that start the moment a task arrives, work nights and weekends, never take leave, and do the fiftieth repetition as carefully as the first.
As you hand over more, the department grows: twelve workers, twenty, one per workflow. The price depends on how many workflows they cover, which tools they work in and how much volume they handle, and you get it in writing before anything starts.
Like the rest of our work, it runs as a monthly subscription: we build the workers, watch them with you, and keep them running as your tools change their screens.
You are still the manager
AI workers are very good at producing a first version of almost anything, and at doing a known routine over and over. They are not a guarantee. So every department we set up follows the same rules.
A person approves anything that matters. Money, contracts and a customer's final answer always stop at a human checkpoint. The AI worker prepares the work; someone on your team presses the final button.
Every action is logged. You can read what each worker did, when, and why, in plain language.
Each worker only gets the access its job needs, and there is an off switch that works the first time.
How your AI department gets started
- List the jobs that eat the week. We sit with the people who do them today and write down every click.
- Pick the first few. The ones that happen daily or weekly, follow the same steps, and cost the most hours.
- Train them on copies first. The workers practise on test data until they handle the messy cases as well as a person would.
- Switch them on and watch together. For the first weeks we read the logs with you and tune anything that needs it.
- Hire more as trust builds. Each new workflow becomes another worker in the same department.
