# Unistaff.ai

> Unistaff.ai gives small businesses AI employees that are hired, trained and reviewed like people. The Live role is the AI inbound sales manager: it answers web chat on your site and email to a dedicated address, both set up for your pilot by the Unistaff team, qualifies each enquiry with your trade's script, quotes only from your price list, records booking requests for a person to confirm and hands anything unusual to a person. It always says it is an AI assistant of your company. 30-day pilot, free.

Category: AI employee: inbound sales manager.
Pricing: a free 30-day pilot (one AI inbound sales manager, one company, web chat and email, no card). After the pilot, one flat monthly fee per AI employee, agreed on the pilot review; no per-minute or per-message meters. No list price is published. Other desks are quoted after a scoping call.
Status vocabulary used on every page: Live = works in the product today; On request = scoped and built for one company by the Unistaff team; Planned = on the roadmap, not available yet.
Live: AI inbound sales manager on web chat and email; the manager's cabinet (hire with an interview, onboarding from the company website into a knowledge folder, an exam on 12 cases from the trade run three times (release without a passed exam carries an "exam not passed" badge), 30-day probation, trust levels Trainee/Junior/Independent, reply ratings that become lessons with a re-exam, weekly review, bonus and reprimand, pause, conversation takeover, stop button, handovers in the cabinet with an email copy).

Human control: the AI disclosure, prices only from the approved list and no booking confirmed by the AI alone are held in code on every reply; a Trainee's replies wait for approval; the owner can take over, pause or stop the employee at any time.
