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 manager: the quality manager, the purchasing manager, the sales manager, the finance manager or the HR manager. It covers an office function under that person's supervision, reports what it did, and stops whenever the supervisor says so. Nothing on the production floor, in maintenance, in inspection or in design is a digital employee's seat.

What does a digital employee never decide?

Whatever its brief marks as reserved: prices and payment terms, purchases and payments, quality dispositions, hiring and personnel decisions, safety exemptions and any commitment to a customer, a supplier or an auditor. On those it prepares the work and asks before acting.

Where does it take its data from?

From the ERP, the electronic invoicing hub, the shift sheets, the registers, the mailboxes, the calendars and the folders 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.
