General Employee

About

We are building the AI workforce for service businesses.

General Employee exists because real businesses still run on phones, inboxes, calendars, portals, legacy software, and busy teams. AI should do the repetitive work across that stack.

What we believe

Work

AI should execute

Not just answer questions about the work.

Operators

Service teams first

The front office is where revenue, urgency, and customer experience collide.

Systems

Meet the stack as it is

Useful AI has to operate across existing tools, not demand a rip-and-replace.

Mission

Give every service business an operations team that never drops the ball.

The most important work in a service business is often repetitive, urgent, and easy to miss: answer the call, collect the details, book the slot, follow up, update the system, and keep the customer informed.

Front-office execution

We focus on the workflows that sit closest to revenue and customer experience.

Real-world software

Service teams use fragmented tools. The product has to adapt to them, not the other way around.

Human leverage

The goal is not to remove people from judgment. It is to remove repetitive execution from their day.

Operating Principles

The product is judged by completed work.

Outcome over novelty

A booked appointment is more valuable than an impressive demo that does not change the business.

Scope before scale

Start with one job, define the rules, prove the scorecard, then expand the employee's responsibility.

Respect the existing team

AI should give the team cleaner handoffs, fewer interruptions, and more time for customer-facing judgment.

Company

Built with operators, not for a fictional clean-room business.

The product direction comes from the messy places where work actually happens: phone calls, after-hours emergencies, missed estimates, unpaid invoices, disconnected calendars, and software that was never designed to talk to anything else.

Bring us the workflow that keeps slipping.

If a human can complete it in software with clear rules, General Employee should be able to help.
