AI employee

The cheapest hire you will ever make.

What is an AI employee, and what can it actually do?

An AI employee handles a job end to end rather than answering a single question. Leadmend AI reads each enquiry a business receives, decides what the work is and how urgent it is, replies to each website-form enquiry within about ten seconds, and captures the details the owner needs to quote. It is free for 14 days, then $99 USD a month.

Whatever a part-time admin costs where you are, they still go home at five. The work that actually gets lost is not complicated — it is reading an enquiry, understanding it, answering it properly and making sure somebody follows up. That is the job, and it now runs itself.

The product

This is the screen it lands in

Not a mockup. The dashboard as it renders, with an account's own enquiries in it.

The website editor. Down the left, labelled boxes an owner types into — Small line above the headline, Headline, Opening paragraph, Layout set to Centred, Colours set to Cool grey — then a Text section with its own Layout, Heading and Text, and buttons to move it up, move it down or remove it. Undo and Redo sit above. On the right, the site itself: a navy hero reading “Legal expertise you can understand”, then a What we handle list of services. A Computer/Phone switch sits over the preview and a Publish my site button to its right.
Change any part of your site and watch it happen beside you — no code, and nothing goes live until you press Publish. Shown with one of the six sites on /examples open in it.
The dashboard's enquiry list. A customer asks about annual boiler servicing and a monthly payment plan; the entry is marked Needs review at 75% confidence, with the line “Flagged for you — asked about monthly payment plan terms — needs a person to confirm what’s available”, followed by the reply the AI sent and a Sent to the customer marker.
Every enquiry, the reply that went out, and why the AI flagged this one for a person. Sample enquiries on a real account — the replies are the real product’s.
An enquiry asking roughly what a heat pump costs installed. It is marked Needs review at 62% confidence and flagged with “asked for an installed price, which needs a person to quote”. The reply below it explains what the price depends on, asks a qualifying question and offers a site visit, without naming a figure.
Asked for a price, it refuses to invent one — it works out what the job needs and offers a visit instead. The hard rule that produced this is published on /reply-quality.

The difference between a chatbot and an employee

A chatbot answers a question. An employee finishes a task — and that gap is the entire reason the category renamed itself.

  • Reads the enquiry properly instead of pattern-matching a keyword
  • Works out what the job is, what it is worth and how urgent it is
  • Answers what was actually asked, not with a generic support script
  • Knows when it is out of its depth and hands over rather than guessing

What it costs against the alternative

The comparison people actually make is not against other software. It is against a person, or against nothing. We will not print a salary figure for you — what an admin costs depends on your country, your hours and your luck, and you already know the number better than a landing page does.

  • A part-time admin: your local wage, weekday daytime, and away when they are away
  • An answering service: a monthly fee, and a stranger working from what you gave them
  • Leadmend AI: $99 USD a month, every hour of every day
  • One recovered job usually covers the year

What it does not do, stated plainly

It does not answer live phone calls, and it will not quote a price or commit to a time on the business's behalf — those are the owner's to give. Leadmend works in writing only, on every plan; the phone stays with the business. Web and form enquiries are answered today on Starter.

Where these claims are checked

Nothing on this page asks to be taken on trust. The rules the AI follows — never quoting a price, never promising a time, never claiming to be a person — are put under messages written to break them, thirty times each, and the last run is published rule by rule, including anything that did not hold. Every routine writes out what it will do before it runs, and you can switch a setting off and watch our own demo break. The speed on this page is measured the same way — every timed call is published, with the date and the spread rather than a rounded word.
