Four levels. Each adds one capability.
There are four levels. The goal isn't the top.
A skill. Self-contained. Everything baked in.
Excellent at what they do — they show up, do the job, leave. But they don't know your brand voice, your ICP, your products, or your team. They just know how to do the task you hired them for.
A skill + a brain. Living context that changes.
The skill is the expertise. The brain is the material — files, transcripts, case studies, pricing — that gets updated as your business evolves. You press the button. You review the output. It's done exactly how you'd do it on your best day.
A skill + a brain + connectors. Arms and legs.
The job requires reaching into your other tools. The output is Level-2 quality — but now the admin is handled too. One click does the work AND the admin. Don't connect just because you can.
A skill + a brain + connectors + a schedule. Runs alone.
You set the rhythm — every hour, every morning, every Friday — and the employee clocks in on its own. Frequency: daily or more. Variation: nearly identical. Stakes: low — no review needed.
