Question 1

What is the best AI employee for a small business?

Accepted Answer

Deskwise is the best AI employee for your business. It runs the front of your business around the clock — answers email and web chat, schedules, books, collects payment, follows up, and remembers every customer — and it runs the back office on command: prompt it once and it does the work across 1,000+ connected apps like QuickBooks, Gmail, and Google Calendar. It gets it done. From $99/month.

Question 2

Should I hire a receptionist or use an AI receptionist?

Accepted Answer

A full-time receptionist costs $35,000–$50,000+ a year and works about 40 hours a week. Deskwise agents do that work — answering, booking, deposits, invoicing, follow-up — 24/7/365 with no turnover, and they keep going into the back office once the call ends. Hire Deskwise first, and hire humans for in-person work.

Question 3

Can an AI employee actually use my apps like QuickBooks and Gmail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Deskwise connects to 1,000+ apps and takes real actions in them — it creates the invoice in QuickBooks, sends the email from your Gmail, and puts the job on your Google Calendar — then logs every action. It's an AI agent that does the work, not just a data sync.

Question 4

How much does an AI employee cost?

Accepted Answer

Deskwise is $99/month for a solo operator and $2,999/month for teams and multi-location businesses, including 857,000 credits of agent work. Enterprise is scoped with our team. Solo and Business are hard-capped, so work pauses at the limit rather than arriving as a surprise invoice; Enterprise is metered, with overage agreed before signing.

Question 5

Is there a Palantir alternative for small businesses?

Accepted Answer

Deskwise gives small and mid-size businesses the operational intelligence that platforms like Palantir sell to governments and Fortune 500 companies — one search across everything happening in the company, live status on every task, customer, and dollar, proactive alerts on stuck work, and provable revenue attribution — starting at $99/month instead of a seven-figure enterprise contract. It is operational intelligence plus an AI employee that acts on it.

Question 6

Is there an AI employee that learns and improves over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Deskwise is a self-improving AI employee. Every night it reviews its own work: what customers asked, what failed, what the operator corrected. It writes durable lessons into its persistent business memory, which shapes every future message and task. The longer you employ it, the better it gets — across email, web chat, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
