The first week
What starts after the brief is complete, with every condition kept visible.
-
A task from the role brief
Once the brief is complete and the Digital Employee is active, Scovai creates a first task from the role definition. An incomplete brief never produces invented work.
-
A useful daily summary
At 07:30 local time, supervisors and the workspace owner receive yesterday's work, open approvals, incidents, silence and spend. Empty days send no email, except for the quiet Monday check-in.
-
Phone updates by choice
The push invitation appears only after the first approval request. If you do not enable it, the operational picture remains available in the email summary.

Straight answers
Who supervises the digital employees?
Each digital employee sits in a seat under a named person in the company, usually the owner, the technical director or the site manager. It covers an administrative or support function under that person's supervision, reports what it did, and stops whenever the supervisor says so. No digital employee sits in the professional core seat.
What does a digital employee never decide?
Anything the owner and the site managers decide: a quote and its price, a variation accepted, a subcontractor, a safety measure, a work suspended, a hire, an answer to a client or a public body, and whatever its brief marks as reserved: payments, anything sent to an authority, a public client or an inspector. On those it prepares the work and asks before acting; the first message to any outside recipient is always a draft.
Where does it take its data from?
From the job costing and site management software, the procurement portals, the supplier and subcontractor portals, the bank, the mailbox and the folders you connect to its seat, and from what the site managers and administration tell it. It reads nothing you have not connected, contacts nobody you have not listed and handles personal data only within the systems you already use.
What does it cost?
Each digital employee is billed monthly by price band, shown in your currency on the marketplace before you claim a seat. You claim one seat at a time and can release it; there is no bundle price.
