Phase 1 · Week 1-2 · $1,000 - $3,000

Workforce Discovery

It starts with a 90-minute session where we map your workflows across departments. Not a sales call — a working session where our solutions architect walks through every process, every handoff, every bottleneck, and identifies exactly where AI employees will deliver the highest return.

Who's involved

Your team leads from 3-5 departments plus our solutions architect. We need the people who actually do the work, not just the people who manage it. The goal is to understand real workflows, not org charts.

What you walk away with

  • Workforce Blueprint document — a complete specification of your AI team
  • Named AI employees with defined roles and responsibilities
  • Integration maps showing exactly which tools each employee connects to
  • Escalation logic defining when AI defers to humans
  • ROI estimate per employee with payback timeline
  • Go/no-go recommendation — if it's not right for you, we'll say so

The Blueprint is yours to keep regardless of whether you proceed. If Bitontree Workforce isn't the right fit, we'll tell you — and recommend what is.

Phase 2 · Week 3-8 · Starting at $5,000

Build & Deploy

We build your AI workforce one employee at a time, starting with the highest-value employee from your Blueprint. Each employee goes through a supervised pilot before full deployment. No big bang launches — methodical, proven rollout.

1

Week 1-2: First employee configured

Trained on your data, connected to your tools (Shopify, Gorgias, QuickBooks, Intercom, etc.), and ready for pilot.

2

Week 2: Supervised pilot

The AI employee runs alongside your team. Every decision is reviewed by a human. Corrections are fed back to improve accuracy in real time.

3

Week 3+: Full deployment, next employee starts

Once you trust the output, the employee goes live. The second employee enters configuration while the first is already working.

What "supervised pilot" means

The AI employee works in production with real data, but a human validates every output. If Maya recommends a reorder of 500 units, your ops manager sees the recommendation in Slack and approves, adjusts, or rejects it. Every correction teaches the employee. By the end of the pilot week, you trust the output because you've watched it get better every day.

No new software to learn

We connect to your existing tools — Shopify, Gorgias, QuickBooks, Intercom, ShipStation, Slack, and more. Your team keeps working where they already work. AI employees appear as Slack apps, email senders, or dashboard widgets. No new logins, no migration.

Phase 3 · Ongoing · $1,500 - $5,000/mo

Workforce Management

AI employees aren't fire-and-forget. Your business changes, your workflows evolve, your tools update. The management retainer ensures your AI workforce keeps pace and improves every month — because you wouldn't hire six new employees and never review their performance.

What's included monthly

  • Performance review for every AI employee — decision accuracy, approval rates, error rates
  • Prompt tuning and optimization based on real usage patterns
  • New skill additions as your business needs evolve
  • New employee onboarding when you're ready to expand
  • Priority support with same-day response

Quarterly strategy review

Every quarter we review the full AI team: what's working, what needs improvement, and where to expand next. We identify new workflow automation opportunities and plan the next wave of AI employee deployment. Your workforce grows with your business.

Scaling is fast

Adding a new AI employee to an existing deployment takes days, not weeks. The infrastructure is already in place, the integrations are live, and the escalation logic is proven. A new employee is configured, piloted, and deployed within your existing Slack approval workflow.

What makes this different

Most AI agent implementations fall into one of three buckets. None of them are what we do.

Not a SaaS platform

You don't get a login and figure it out. We design, build, and deploy AI employees specifically for your workflows, your tools, your team's language. No drag-and-drop builders. No template agents.

Instead: Custom AI employees built around your actual operations, not a generic platform you have to configure yourself.

Not a consulting engagement

We don't hand you a strategy deck and leave. We build the AI employees, deploy them into your tools, pilot them with your team, and manage them month over month. The Blueprint is step one — not the final deliverable.

Instead: End-to-end implementation and ongoing management. We stay accountable for performance.

Not a chatbot

These are proactive employees with defined roles, daily schedules, and judgment. They work whether or not a customer messages. Maya checks inventory at 6am. Priya reconciles your bank feed at 9am. They don't wait to be asked.

Instead: Autonomous AI employees that surface decisions via Slack approval workflows, not reactive bots that wait for input.

Common questions about AI workforce deployment

How does the initial assessment work?

We start with a 30-minute scoping call where we map your current workflows, identify the highest-impact automation opportunities, and assess integration feasibility. Within 48 hours, you receive a proposal that outlines which agents we recommend, what they'll handle, what stays human, expected outcomes, and a specific timeline and price. No generic decks -- every proposal is built around your actual operations.

How do you decide which tasks should be automated vs. stay human?

We use a simple framework: if a task is repetitive, rule-based, and the cost of an occasional error is low and recoverable, it's a strong candidate for automation. If a task requires empathy, strategic judgment, creative problem-solving, or carries high stakes with no room for error, it stays human. The gray area in between is where we set up human-in-the-loop workflows -- the agent does the heavy lifting, but a human reviews before it goes out.

What does the pilot period look like day-to-day?

During the two-week pilot, agents process real work from your actual systems. Every output is flagged for human review before it's finalized. Your team reviews the agent's work in their normal tools (your CRM, your inbox, your TMS) and marks each item as approved, corrected, or rejected. We use that feedback to tune accuracy and calibrate escalation thresholds. By the end of the pilot, most agents are running at 90%+ approval rates.

How do agents learn and improve over time?

Agents improve through three mechanisms: direct corrections (when your team fixes an agent's output, it learns the pattern), escalation analysis (we regularly review what gets escalated and train agents to handle more edge cases), and performance monitoring (we track accuracy, speed, and escalation rates weekly and retrain when metrics drift). Improvement is continuous and doesn't require any effort from your team beyond their normal workflow.

Can we see what the agents are doing in real time?

Yes. Every action an agent takes is logged with a timestamp, the source data it used, the decision it made, and the output it produced. You can view this in real time through the dashboard, or review it retrospectively. For regulated industries (healthcare, legal, financial services), the audit trail meets compliance requirements for record-keeping and can be exported for external review.
