“You send us a job description\u2014just like hiring a human\u2014and we deploy a trained AI employee within days.” \u2014 Pat, CEO and Founder, AIQ Labs <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
AIQ Labs launches a managed AI Employee service offering 99 distinct AI worker roles\u2014from receptionists to sales reps\u2014starting at $599\/month. Unlike DIY chatbot tools, businesses simply provide a job description and AIQ Labs builds, trains, and manages the AI Employee, which communicates via phone, email, and chat just like a human team member.<\/div>\n

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA – December 8, 2025 – <\/strong>As global giants like Klarna and Salesforce make headlines replacing thousands of human workers with AI, small and medium-sized businesses have been left on the sidelines—priced out of the AI revolution reshaping the modern workforce. AIQ Labs<\/a> is changing that.<\/p>\n

The Halifax-based AI transformation company today announced the launch of its Managed AI Employee service, offering businesses fully trained, production-ready AI workers starting at $599 per month. The service spans 99 distinct roles across sales, reception, customer service, healthcare, legal, real estate, and operations—providing SMBs access to the same autonomous workforce capabilities driving efficiency gains at enterprise scale.<\/p>\n

“Small business owners read about Klarna’s AI handling the work of 700 employees and feel like they’re being left behind,” said Pat, CEO and Founder of AIQ Labs. “We built this service to close that gap. You don’t need a $50,000 enterprise contract or a team of AI engineers. You send us a job description—just like hiring a human—and we deploy a trained AI employee within days.”<\/p>\n

Hiring an AI Employee Works Like Hiring a Human<\/strong><\/p>\n

The onboarding process mirrors traditional hiring. Businesses provide a job description outlining the role, responsibilities, and desired outcomes. AIQ Labs’ engineering team then builds and trains the AI Employee on the company’s specific processes, procedures, brand voice, and business knowledge. Once deployed, each AI Employee receives their own phone number, email address, and chat presence—communicating through the same channels as any human team member.<\/p>\n

“You email them tasks. You call them with questions. You assign them work through chat,” said Pat. “The interaction is identical to working with a human colleague, except they’re available 24\/7 and never miss a message.”<\/p>\n

Scheduled Work and Real-Time Response<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each AI Employee handles both proactive and reactive work. Scheduled tasks—morning lead follow-ups, weekly report generation, appointment reminders, invoice follow-ups—run automatically on defined intervals. Inbound requests—customer inquiries, support tickets, lead qualification, appointment bookings—are handled in real-time as they arrive. Long-running campaigns like lead nurturing, drip sequences, and collections follow-up persist for weeks without supervision.<\/p>\n

The AI Employees integrate directly with existing business systems including CRMs, calendars, payment processors, and industry-specific software, taking real actions rather than simply providing information.<\/p>\n

The Economics of AI Labor<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cost comparison is stark. A human receptionist or sales development representative typically costs businesses $4,000 to $7,000 monthly when accounting for salary, benefits, and taxes—plus recruiting and training expenses. AIQ Labs’ AI Employees<\/a> deliver equivalent functionality for $599 to $1,500 per month with zero missed days, unlimited availability, and multilingual capabilities.<\/p>\n

Managed, Not Abandoned<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recent headlines about AI chatbots making unauthorized promises have made businesses wary of automation. AIQ Labs addresses these concerns through active management: KPI tracking, interaction monitoring, continuous training, and dedicated support. The company guarantees 99.9% uptime and sub-30-second response times.<\/p>\n

“We’re not selling software you have to figure out,” said Pat. “We’re providing managed AI workers with human oversight. They get better every week because our team is actively optimizing them.”<\/p>\n

Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AI Employee service is available immediately for businesses across North America. AIQ Labs offers a free strategy call to help businesses identify their highest-value automation opportunities before deployment.<\/p>\n
