## Testimonials

> I hired three AI employees on a Tuesday morning — an SDR, a content marketer, and a support agent. By Friday they had answered 90 tickets, drafted four blog posts, and booked six demos. Total cost for the month: $237. I was paying my last junior SDR $4,800 loaded.

> We replaced our entire offshore VA team with AI employees. The work is faster, more consistent, and never gets lost in translation. Onboarding a new role used to take three weeks. Now it takes 20 minutes.

## FAQ

### How is this different from hiring a virtual assistant?

A VA handles inbox, calendar, simple research. An AI employee owns a role end-to-end — sales SDR, content marketer, support agent — runs continuously, integrates with your tools, and reports back. A VA is 1 person, 20 hours a week. An AI team is 5 specialists, 168 hours a week.

### Do I need to be technical to set this up?

No. Hire an employee, upload your docs, connect your tools (Gmail, Slack, CRM) via OAuth. Setup takes 15 minutes. No code.

### What if I am pre-revenue?

Start free. Sistava has a free tier with 5,000 credits, enough to run an AI employee on early experiments. Upgrade when revenue exists.

### Can I run my whole business through Sistava?

Many solo founders do. Marketing, sales, support, recruiting, ops, bookkeeping — all AI employees coordinated through a team leader. Founder spends 1-2 hours a day on review and high-leverage decisions.
