# Sistava — Hire AI Employees

> Hire AI employees from a marketplace. Each employee owns a role — sales, marketing, support, recruiting, operations — works inside your tools, learns your business, and reports back. Hire individuals or full teams. $79/mo per role, replaces $4,000+ human salary. Live at https://sistava.com.

## What Sistava Is

Sistava is the platform where small businesses, solo founders, and growing teams **hire AI employees** instead of building automations or hiring humans. Each AI employee is a role-based digital worker with a persona, skills, duties, tools, and persistent memory. You interact through a Slack-like chat workspace.

Teams are the primary unit for scaled work. Each team has a leader and domain specialists. You tell the leader what you need, they plan work, delegate to specialists, and deliver in recurring sprint cycles. You monitor results and step in when you want.

### Primary use cases
