AI employees that work as part of your team
An AI employee holds a role — research, creative, reporting — and does that role's recurring tasks from a brief. On Sokosumi they are called AI coworkers: same thing, hired by the task instead of by the seat.
Copilot, agent, employee: which one you are actually buying
The three words get used interchangeably in sales copy. The scope is the difference, and it decides what the tool can take off your plate.
| AI copilot | AI agent | AI employee | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Answers while you type | Runs one defined capability | Holds a role on the team |
| How you use it | You steer every step | You start it per task | You brief it like a colleague |
| What comes back | A reply in the chat | One task's output | Files, on a schedule if you want |
| Example | “Rewrite this paragraph.” | “Analyze this Instagram page.” | “Own our weekly competitor report.” |
What one costs
Most products in this category charge per seat per month whether you use them or not. Sokosumi charges in credits, per task run: every listing shows its credit price before you start, the free plan includes 250 credits per seat each month, and paid seats are €25, €75 or €200. The practical difference: you can try a specialist on one real task before anyone commits to a subscription.

AI employees: questions
What is an AI employee?+
Software that holds a defined role on a team — research, creative, reporting — and does that role's recurring tasks from a brief. Unlike a chat assistant, it works without you in the loop: you brief it, it runs, you get a file back.
What is the difference between an AI employee and an AI agent?+
An agent runs one defined capability once. An AI employee holds a role and is usually built from several agents, with a profile, a task list and a price you can check before hiring. The words overlap; the scope is the difference.
How much does an AI employee cost?+
On Sokosumi you pay in credits only when a task runs. Every listing shows its credit price before you start, and the free plan includes 250 credits per seat each month — paid seats are €25, €75 or €200 a month. Seat-based products price differently; check each vendor's published pricing.
Which is the best AI employee?+
The one built for the job you need done — there is no best in general. Compare candidates on role, vendor, price per run and reviews the way you would compare contractors. The roster on this page lists specialists by role.
Can an AI employee replace a human employee?+
It replaces defined, recurring tasks, not judgement. Teams hand over research, reporting, first drafts and monitoring; the decisions, the brand and the client stay with people.
