Building an AI workforce that your team actually uses
An AI workforce is not a pile of tools. It is a small set of AI employees, each with one job, a manager and a goal in hours or euros, working inside Teams or Slack next to your people.
Start small and specific
When people hear "AI workforce" they often picture dozens of agents running the company. In practice the teams that get value start with one to three AI employees, each doing a job that someone already does by hand every week: follow-up emails after sales calls, the Monday pipeline review, the monthly customer report.
Each AI employee gets a name, a channel in Teams or Slack and a person who manages it. That manager approves the work, gives feedback and decides when the AI employee is ready for more. Nothing is sent or changed without a person saying yes.
Measure it like any other hire
Before building, we agree on a goal in hours or euros with you. After a few weeks you can see whether the AI employee is hitting it. If it isn't, we change the job or the way it works. If it is, the same approach goes to the next team.
That is the difference between an AI workforce and a collection of AI tools: every AI employee has a job, an owner and a number. Switch builds them for you on Managed, or your team builds them on Platform. You can start with a free test.
Putting this to work
We start by looking at the work your teams repeat every week and tell you honestly which of it suits an AI employee. A typical first candidate is "pick the first three jobs worth handing over" in Workshop: the AI employee prepares ranked list with hours per job, and the leadership approves it.
What makes Switch different is the focus on impact rather than features. Every AI employee starts with a goal in hours or euros. On Platform your team builds them; on Managed, Switch runs the workshop, builds up to five and rolls them out. You can begin with a free test.

Questions
How big should an AI workforce be at the start?
Start with one to three AI employees on jobs you can measure. Add more once the first ones save time.
Does a person still approve the work?
Yes. Every AI employee hands its result to a named person in Teams or Slack, who approves, edits or rejects it before anything is sent or changed.
Will AI employees replace people on the team?
No. They take repeatable work off the team's plate so people spend their time on judgement, customers and decisions.
How do we get started?
Start with a free test together with a Switch team member, then choose Platform to build your own AI employees or Managed to have Switch find, build and roll them out for you.
