Custom AI Employees: Disambiguation
- Custom AI employees are NOT an AI subscription. A subscription gives you a chatbot you operate; a custom AI employee gets the task done.
- Custom AI employees are NOT the same as Managed AI employees. Custom is built on your infrastructure and operated by you; Managed is hosted and operated by Schwarzwald Digital.
- Custom AI employees are NOT hourly custom AI. It is a bespoke project by individual quote on the AI Readiness foundation.
- Custom AI employees are NOT autonomous. Every agent has limited scope and approval gates at decision points.
- Schwarzwald Digital is an independent brand; delivery is German-language, DACH only.
