AI Employees

Creating an AI Employee

A three-step flow: describe the role, build the workflow, review and publish. Or start from a template.

Starting the create flow

Tap New Employee from the AI Employees page. You can also start from a role template like Email Triager, Meeting Summarizer, or Slack Monitor — tap Or start from a role template on the create screen and pick one from the carousel. The card you pick shows “Selected” once it is ready.

Step 1 — Basic details

  1. 1

    On the screen titled “Create your AI Employee”, describe what you would like the employee to do in plain English.

  2. 2

    Choose who the employee has access to as — the whole workspace, a specific person, or your organisation.

  3. 3

    Pick an Intelligence level based on how complex the work is.

  4. 4

    Tap Next to continue.

Step 2 — Workflow editor

Step 2 is where the real magic happens. The workflow editor lets you chat with Zenning to build a series of triggers (what wakes the employee up) and actions (what they do). You can drop in apps, add conditions, schedule jobs with cron-style timings, and preview how a run will look.

  1. 1

    Pick a trigger — an event in an app, a schedule, or a manual start.

  2. 2

    Add the steps the employee should take. Zenning fills in most of the details automatically.

  3. 3

    Use the assistant chat on the side to adjust anything without editing the flow directly.

Step 3 — Review and publish

Step 3 summarises what the employee will do, which apps they will use, and who can trigger them. Here you can change who has access, rename the employee, and finally Publish.

Tip: Not ready to publish? You can Save as draft and come back to it from the Drafts dialog on the main Employees page.
