The first week

What starts after the brief is complete, with every condition kept visible.

  1. A task from the role brief

    Once the brief is complete and the Digital Employee is active, Scovai creates a first task from the role definition. An incomplete brief never produces invented work.

  2. A useful daily summary

    At 07:30 local time, supervisors and the workspace owner receive yesterday's work, open approvals, incidents, silence and spend. Empty days send no email, except for the quiet Monday check-in.

  3. Phone updates by choice

    The push invitation appears only after the first approval request. If you do not enable it, the operational picture remains available in the email summary.

Straight answers

Who supervises the digital employees?

Each digital employee sits in a seat under a named lawyer or the secretary. It covers an administrative or preparatory function under that person's supervision, reports what it did, and stops whenever the supervisor says so. No digital employee gives legal advice or signs anything.

What does a digital employee never decide?

Anything that is legal judgement, and whatever its brief marks as reserved: engagement terms, responses in a dispute, communication a lawyer has not approved, payments and any commitment to a client. On those it prepares the work and asks before acting.

Where does it take its data from?

From the certified email, mailboxes, calendars, document folders and case management software you connect to its seat, and from what your team tells it. It reads nothing you have not connected and contacts nobody you have not listed.

What does it cost?

Each digital employee is billed monthly by price band, shown in your currency on the marketplace before you claim a seat. You claim one seat at a time and can release it; there is no bundle price.
